A search for diffuse bands in the circumstellar envelopes of post-AGB stars

, 2007
In this work we present the results of a systematic search for diffuse bands (DBs, hereafter) in the circumstellar envelopes of a carefully selected sample of post-AGB stars.

The incompatibilities between the standard theory of interstellar extinction and observations [PDF]

, 2002
In this paper I review a series of observations which do not agree with the standard interpretation of the extinction curve. The consequence is that light we receive from a reddened star must be contaminated by starlight scattered at very small angular ...

PLATO as it is: A legacy mission for Galactic archaeology

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 338, Issue 6, Page 644-661, July 2017., 2017
Deciphering the assembly history of the Milky Way is a formidable task, which becomes possible only if one can produce high‐resolution chrono‐chemo‐kinematical maps of the Galaxy. Data from large‐scale astrometric and spectroscopic surveys will soon provide us with a well‐defined view of the current chemo‐kinematical structure of the Milky Way, but it ...

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

Symposium - 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 (

UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
We want to get insight into the formation mechanism and the evolution of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival multiwavelength data to constrain its global properties. Ultraviolet images show that UGC 7639 inner regions are composed mostly by young stellar populations.

The 2200 A bump and the UV extinction curve

, 2012
The 2200 A bump is a major figure of interstellar extinction. Extinction curves with no bump however exist and are, with no exception, linear from the near-infrared down to 2500 A at least, often over all the visible-UV spectrum.

The Natural Science Underlying Big History

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological, or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution.

CCD SDSS gr Photometry of Poorly Studied Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We present for the first time CCD SDSS gr photometry, obtained at the Gemini South telescope with the GMOS attached, of stars in the field of the poorly studied star clusters NGC1768, HS 85, SL 676, NGC2107, NGC2190, and SL 866, which are distributed in the main body of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

ULTRA FAST EVOLUTION OF SAKURAI's OBJECT

Odessa 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.
