- Description:
- Images of the Kuiper Belt object (126719) 2002 CC_249_ obtained in 2016 and 2017 using the 6.5 m Magellan-Baade Telescope and the 4.3 m Discovery Channel Telescope are presented. A light curve with a periodicity of 11.87+/-0.01 hr and a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.79+/-0.04 mag is reported. This high amplitude double-peaked light curve can be due to a single elongated body, but it is best explained by a contact binary system from its U-/V-shaped light curve. We present a simple full-width-at-half-maximum test that can be used to determine if an object is likely a contact binary or an elongated object based on its light curve. Considering that 2002 CC_249_ is in hydrostatic equilibrium, a system with a mass ratio q_min_=0.6, and a density {rho}_min_=1 g/cm^3^, or less plausible a system with q_max_=1, and {rho}_max_=5 g/cm^3^ can interpret the light curve. Assuming a single Jacobi ellipsoid in hydrostatic equilibrium and an equatorial view, we estimate {rho}>=0.34 g/cm^3^, and a/b=2.07. Finally, we report a new color study showing that 2002 CC_249_ displays an ultra red surface characteristic of a dynamically Cold Classical trans-Neptunian object.

- Description:
- High-resolution optical UBVRI and H{alpha} images obtained with ALFOSC mounted on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT), near-infrared JHK_S_ images obtained with NOTCam at the Nordic Optical Telescope, and VLT/ISAAC images obtained through the H_2_ (2.12{mu}m) filter were all used to make photometric and morphological studies of the point sources and the nebula seen towards Sh2-294. Identification of PMS members was done using three different methods: comparison with isochrones in optical colour-magnitude diagrams and detection of either near-IR excess or H{alpha} emission.

- Description:
- We present the list of candidate members of the young open cluster NGC 6611, selected in a field of view of 33'x34' by the X-rays emission and excesses in infrared bands. X-ray sources without infrared excesses are classified as candidate Class III cluster members; stars with infrared excesses as disk bearing members.

- Description:
- We report a study of the global properties of some embedded clusters placed in the fourth quadrant of the MilkyWay to clarify some issues related with their location into de Galaxy and their stellar formation processes. We performed BVI photometric observations in the region of DBS 77, 78, 102, 160, and 161 clusters and infrared spectroscopy in DBS 77 region. They were complemented with JHK data from VVV survey combined with 2MASS catalogue, and used mid-infrared information from GLIMPSE catalogue. We also searched for HI data from SGPS and PMN radio surveys, and previous spectroscopic stellar classification. The spectroscopic and photometric information allowed us to estimate the spectral classification of the brightest stars of each studied region. On the other hand, we used the radio data to investigate the interstellar material parameters and the continuum sources probably associated with the respective stellar components. We estimated the basic physical parameters of the clusters (reddening, distance, age, and initial mass function). We searched for HII regions located near to the studied clusters and we analyzed the possible link between them. In the particular case of DBS 160-161 clusters, we identified the HI bubble B332.5-0.1-42 located around them. We found that the mechanical energy injected to the interstellar medium by the more massive stars of this couple of clusters was enough to generate the bubble.

- Photometry of EXors from Asiago plates

- Date:

- Description:
- EXor objects are young variables that show episodic variations of brightness commonly associated to enhanced accretion outbursts. With the aim of investigating the long-term photometric behaviour of a few EXor sources, we present here data from the archival plates of the Asiago Observatory, showing the Orion field where the three EXors V1118, V1143, and NY are located. A total of 484 plates were investigated, providing a total of more than 1000 magnitudes for the three stars, which cover a period of about 35yrs between 1959 to 1993. We then compared our data with literature data. Apart from a newly discovered flare-up of V1118, we identify the same outbursts already known, but we provide two added values: (i) a long-term sampling of the quiescence phase; and (ii) repeated multi-colour observations (BVRI bands). The former allows us to give a reliable characterisation of the quiescence, which represents a unique reference for studies that will analyze future outbursts and the physical changes induced by these events. The latter is useful for confirming whether the intermittent increases of brightness are accretion-driven (as in the case of V1118), or extinction-driven (as in the case of V1143). Accordingly, doubts arise about the V1143 classification as a pure EXor object. Finally, although our plates do not separate NY Ori and the star very close to it, they indicate that this EXor did not undergo any major outbursts during our 40yrs of monitoring.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report 8 years of previously unpublished photometric observations of FK Com. The observations have been carried out between 1993 and 2001 with six different telescopes: 60 cm at Mt. Maidanak (Tashkent, Uzbekistan), Phoenix 10, Wolfgang and Amadeus located in Arizona, USA, and 20cm and 60 cm KVA on La Palma, Spain. Observations contain measurements at the following bands: Johnson U, B, V and R, Bessel R, Cousins I and Stromgren b and y. The observations are differential photometry in respect to the primary comparison star HD 117567. NOTE: Table 1 in the paper contains some small misprints in the Julian dates. Also for Wolfgang and Amadeus the number of observations given in Table1 at each band is slightly less than actually given in Table2c and Table2d. This is caused by accidentally using a limiting error of 0.01 in magnitudes when creating Table 1. In Table 2 the limiting error for Wolfgang and Amadeus is 0.02 mag, as mentioned in the paper itself. In Table2a-e 99.0000 means that no observations were available at that time at that band or that the error in the magnitude was larger than 0.02.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of four relatively massive (2-7M_J_) transiting extrasolar planets. HAT-P-20b orbits the moderately bright V=11.339 K3 dwarf star GSC 1910-00239 on a circular orbit, with a period P=2.875317+/-0.000004 days. The planetary companion has a mass of 7.246+/-0.187M_J_ and a radius of 0.867+/-0.033R_J_ yielding a mean density of 13.78+/-1.50g/cm^3^. HAT-P-21b orbits the V=11.685 G3 dwarf star GSC 3013-01229 on an eccentric (e=0.228+/-0.016) orbit, with a period P=4.124481+/-0.000007 days. The planetary companion has a mass of 4.063+/-0.161M_J_ and a radius of 1.024+/-0.092R_J_ yielding a mean density of 4.68^+1.59^_-0.99_g/cm^3^. HAT-P-21b is a borderline object between the pM and pL class planets, and the transits occur near apastron. HAT-P-22b orbits the bright V=9.732 G5 dwarf star HD 233731 on a circular orbit, with a period P=3.212220+/-0.000009 days. The planet has a mass of 2.147+/-0.061M_J_ and a compact radius of 1.080+/-0.058R_J_ yielding a mean density of 2.11^+0.40^_-0.29_g/cm^3^. The host star also harbors an M-dwarf companion at a wide separation. Finally, HAT-P-23b orbits the V=12.432 G0 dwarf star GSC 1632-01396 on a close to circular orbit, with a period P=1.212884+/-0.000002 days. The planetary companion has a mass of 2.090+/-0.111M_J_ and a radius of 1.368+/-0.090R_J_ yielding a mean density of 1.01+/-0.18g/cm^3^. HAT-P-23b is an inflated and massive hot Jupiter on a very short period orbit, and has one of the shortest characteristic infall times (7.5^+2.9^_-1.8_Myr) before it gets engulfed by the star.

- Description:
- We present observations and analysis of the broad-band afterglow of Swift GRB 071025. Using optical and infrared (RIYJHK) photometry, we derive a photometric redshift of 4.4<z<5.2; at this redshift our simultaneous multicolour observations begin at ~30s after the gamma-ray burst trigger in the host frame, during the initial rising phase of the afterglow.

- Description:
- We demonstrate a new approach for probing the atmospheres of selected chemically peculiar magnetic stars. Using the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 1.0 and 1.5m telescopes simultaneously on two nights in 1991, we obtained optical and infrared high-speed photometry of the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star HR 3831 (=HD 83368), which pulsates with a period of ~11.8 minutes. Oscillation amplitudes (or upper limits) in each of eight bandpasses were measured by Fourier analysis, revealing the very steep decline in amplitude with increasing wavelength characteristic of roAp stars. Matthews and coworkers have shown that this can be explained by the wavelength dependence of limb darkening and its filtering effect on the integrated amplitude of an (l,m)=(1,0) nonradial pulsation mode. Since the eigenfrequency spectrum of HR 3831 is dominated by just such a dipole mode, it is possible to infer limb-darkening coefficients beta(lambda) for its atmosphere from our amplitude measurements. These coefficients are used to derive a source function through the Eddington-Barber relation, which leads to a relation for temperature versus optical depth in the stellar photosphere. Our results show that the T-Tau(5000) curve is much steeper for HR 3831 than for the Sun (at least at the rotational phase when the star's magnetic pole dominates the visible hemisphere). We also calculate the gradient dT/dtau as a function of wavelength to compare with the curve expected for H- continuous opacity. This type of diagnostic may become a useful tool for checking the predictions of diffusion theory.

- Description:
- I have used multi-epoch astrometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to perform a search for a distant companion to the Sun via its parallactic motion. I have not found an object of this kind down to W2=14.5. This limit corresponds to analogs of Saturn and Jupiter at 28000 and 82000AU, respectively, according to models of the Jovian planets by Fortney and coworkers. Models of brown dwarfs by Burrows and coworkers predict fainter fluxes at a given mass for the age of the solar system, producing a closer distance limit of 26000 AU for a Jupiter-mass brown dwarf. These constraints exclude most combinations of mass and separation at which a solar companion has been suggested to exist by various studies over the years.
