The major objective of EURONEAR is high precision astrometry of Near Earth NEAs Asteroids (NEAs) and Potentially Hazarduous Asteroids (PHAs) observed in a...
New BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera results on superbursts
Analysis of archival data from the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras has yielded further detections of superbursts. Remarkably, several are from a persistent low-mass...
Presently seven superbursters have been identified representing 10% of the total Galactic X-ray burster population. Four superbursters were discovered with the...
New cluster candidates in dwarf galaxies of the Local Group
V and I images of the nearby dIrr galaxies Sextans A and Sextans B were searched for the clusters. The cadidates were selected, from a sample of non-stellar...
New cluster candidates in the extended XMM Lockman Hole field
We describe the results of a search for diffuse sources in the 0.4 deg2 area of the XMM-Newton 770 ks survey of the Lockman Hole. An abundant population of...
New CNO Elemental Abundances in Planetary Nebulae from Spatially Resolved UV/Optical Emission Lines
We obtained HST/STIS long-slit spectra spanning 0.11 to 1.1 μm of co-spatial regions in 10 Galactic planetary nebulae (Dufour, et al., this conference), of...
The PLT-HPT-32, a new cryogenic temperature monitor, has been developed by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) and an external engineering...
New Detections of Planet-Mass Companions to K-Giants by the Penn State - Torun Planet Search
We present the discovery of sub-stellar mass companions to six giant stars by the ongoing Penn State-Torun Planet Search conducted with the Hobby-Eberly...
