Non-LTE Spectral Analysis of Extremely Hot Post-AGB Stars: Constraints for Evolutionary Theory [PDF]
Spectral analysis by means of Non-LTE model-atmosphere techniques has arrived at a high level of sophistication: fully line-blanketed model atmospheres which consider opacities of all elements from H to Ni allow the reliable determination of photospheric

FUSE spectroscopy of the sdOB primary of the post common-envelope binary LB 3459 ( AA Doradus ) [PDF]
Context. LB 3459 (AA Doradus) is an eclipsing, close, post common-envelope binary (PCEB) consisting of an sdOB primary star and an unseen secondary with an extraordinarily low mass (M2 ≈ 0.066 M ) – formally a brown dwarf.

Dark matter density profiles: A comparison of nonextensive theory with N-body simulations [PDF]
Density profiles of simulated galaxy cluster-sized dark matter haloes are analysed in the context of a recently introduced nonextensive theory of dark matter and gas density distributions.

Dynamic Screening and Thermonuclear Reaction Rates [PDF]
We show that there are no dynamic screening corrections to the Salpeter's enhancement factor in the weak-screening limit.

The virtual observatory service TheoSSA: Establishing a database of synthetic stellar flux standards - I. NLTE spectral analysis of the DA-type white dwarf G191−B2B [PDF]
Hydrogen-rich, DA-type white dwarfs are particularly suited as primary standard stars for flux calibration. State-of-the-art NLTE models consider opacities of species up to trans-iron elements and provide reliable synthetic stellar-atmosphere spectra to ...

Minimal Dark Matter predictions for galactic positrons, anti-protons, photons
We present the energy spectra of the fluxes of positrons, anti-protons and photons generated by Dark Matter annihilations in our galaxy, as univocally predicted by the model of Minimal Dark Matter.

Primordial Nucleosynthesis with CMB Inputs: Probing the Early Universe and Light Element Astrophysics [PDF]
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) determinations of the baryon-to-photon ratio $\eta \propto \Omega_{\rm baryon} h^2$ will remove the last free parameter from (standard) big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) calculations. This will make BBN a much sharper probe

Close-up of primary and secondary asteroseismic CoRoT targets and the ground-based follow-up observations [PDF]
To optimise the science results of the asteroseismic part of the CoRoT satellite mission a complementary simultaneous ground-based observational campaign is organised for selected CoRoT targets. The observations include both high-resolution spectroscopic
