Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

Are Wolf‐Rayet Stars Able to Pollute the Interstellar Medium of Galaxies? Results from Integral Field Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We investigate the spatial distribution of chemical abundances in a sample of low metallicity Wolf‐Rayet (WR) galaxies selected from the SDSS. We used the integral field spectroscopy technique in the optical spectral range (3700 Å–6850 Å) with PMAS attached to the CAHA 3.5 m telescope.

ULTRA FAST EVOLUTION OF SAKURAI's OBJECT

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
We model theoretical spectral energy distributions of the "born-again" V4334 Sgr for our grid of hydrogen-deficient model atmospheres with a range of Teff = 4000-5000 K and log g = 1.0 - 0.0.

Revisiting Variable Stars Near Globular Clusters South of −29° Declination

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT We review an often‐cited but seldom‐accessed catalogue by Fourcade and Laborde (1966) of 785 variable stars near 47 southern Galactic globular clusters, and recover the locations of 85 stars that were not incorporated into subsequent variable star catalogues and hence have become “lost” to the literature.

AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale.

214 -- Using Red Giant Spectroscopy to Compute the Interstellar Reddening of Open Cluster NGC 2194 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The colossal distances between planet Earth and astronomical objects significantly affects the starlight which our telescopes receive. It is necessary that we first quantify and account for these influences before carrying out scientific research in ...

Interstellar velocity components towards reddened stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
ABSTRA C T The paper analyses the profiles of interstellar features observed towards heavily reddened stars. All the features show spectacular Doppler-splitting but the radial velocities of the single components as well as the number of such components vary from feature to feature in the same spectrum.

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long‐term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow‐up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain‐Teleskop‐Kamera II and the ...

An Empirical Extinction Curve Revealed by Gaia XP Spectra and LAMOST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a direct measurement of extinction curves using corrected Gaia XP spectra of the common sources in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7. Our analysis of approximately 370,000 high-quality samples yielded a high-precision average extinction curve for the ...

Interstellar Reddening Towards S188, Hw4 and We1–6 [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
Photoelectric UBV photometry of stars was carried out in the angular vicinity (radius = 15′) of 3 planetary nebulae. An extinction distance relation was constructed for the line of sight towards each planetary nebula. This relation was verified by published data on nearby stars and star clusters. The distances derived are 850 ± 300 pc for PK 128 −04 1 (
