Comet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus
We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in 2004 December. The comet...
Comet Hale-Bopp (1995 O1) Possible Photometric Evolution
Considerable interest has been raised by the discovery of Comet Hale-Bopp (1995 O1) and the possibility that it might become a very bright object in Spring 1997...
Comet McNaught C/2006 P1: observation of the sodium emission by the solar telescope THEMIS
Comet McNaught C/2006 P1 was the brightest comet of the last forty years when reaching its perihelion at an heliocentric distance of 0.17Â AU. Two days before...
Comet-like tail-formation of exospheres of hot rocky exoplanets: Possible implications for CoRoT-7b
In this study, the interaction of stellar wind plasma with the exosphere and possibly with the planetary magnetospheric environment of close-in rocky exoplanets...
Comment on "Refractive indices of biaxial crystals evaluated from the refractive indices ellipsoid equation"
In 2007 Yin, Zhang and Tian [1] [Yin et al., 2007] derived the expressions of the refractive indices of biaxial crystals evaluated from the refractive indices...
Commissioning and first tests of the MAGIC telescope
Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope is starting its operations with a set of engineering runs to tune the telescope subsystem elements to be...
We have observed the spectral regions around the LiI resonance 670.8nm and subordinate 610.4nm lines of V471 Tau. This is an eclipsing post common-envelope (CE)...
