The Whole Earth Blazar Telescope and the BL Lac Campaign 2000
We present R-band light curves of BL Lacertae from May 2000 to January 2001, obtained by 22 telescopes in 11 countries. More than 15000 UBVRI observations were...
The Whole Earth Blazar telescope on BL Lacertae (Poster)
The Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) is an international consortium of about 30 optical observatories and 2 radio observatories devoted to blazar monitoring...
The Wide Field Imager at the 2.2-m MPG/ESO telescope: first views with a 67-million-facette eye.
The basic capabilities of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) were described in a previous Messenger article (No. 93, p. 13; see also Table 1) which also includes a...
An analysis of the center to limb variation of the geometrical properties of spots has been carried out. It has revealed that spots do not have a symmetrical...
The Winds of O-Type Stars: Ionization Structure and Revised Stellar Parameters from Far-UV Spectra
We derived consistent photospheric and wind parameters of O-type stars, by analyzing high-resolution spectra in the range 905 to 3250 Å with line-blanketed...
The X ray transient GS2023+338: The 0d.24 and 6d.5 modulations
High resolution spectrophotometry of the black hole system V404 Cyg during quiescence, performed during 1990 and 1991, is discussed. In addition to a 6.5d...
The X-Ray Behavior of Supergiant Fast X-Ray Transients: An INTEGRAL View
The data provided by the ESA INTEGRAL mission have revealed the presence of a huge new population of HMXB sources. Among them, an important fraction belong to...
