We have studied the environment of the FU Ori type star V582 Aur. Our aim is to explore the star-forming region associated with this young eruptive star. Using slitless...

We conducted a deep narrow-band imaging survey with the Subaru Prime Focus Camera on the Subaru Telescope and constructed a sample of Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) at z=2.53 in the...

We present the CAlibrating LYMan-{alpha} with H{alpha} (CALYMHA) pilot survey and new results on Lyman {alpha} (Ly{alpha}) selected galaxies at z~2. We use a custom-built...

In a companion work (Contreras Pena et al., 2017MNRAS.465.3011C, Paper I), we detected a large population of highly variable Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Vista Variables...

We present the results of a spectroscopic monitoring campaign of nine presumably single Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, eight of type WC 9 and one WC 8d. We characterize their...

The XQ-100 survey provides optical and near-infrared coverage of 36 blindly selected, intervening damped Lyman {alpha} systems (DLAs) at 2<z_abs_<4, simultaneously...

Red quasars are candidate young objects in an early transition stage of massive galaxy evolution. Our team recently discovered a population of extremely red quasars (ERQs) in...

Stars in open clusters are expected to share an identical abundance pattern. Establishing the level of chemical homogeneity in a given open cluster deserves further study as it...

We present the high-resolution (R~=60000), high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N~=120) spectroscopic analysis of 12 red giant members of the Galactic open cluster NGC 6940. We applied...

We discuss 76 large amplitude transients ({Delta}m>1.5) occurring in the nuclei of galaxies, nearly all with no previously known active galactic nucleus (AGN). They have been...

1 per cent of redshift z~0.1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) show velocity splitting of a few hundred km/s in the narrow emission lines in spatially integrated spectra. Such line...

In this paper, we extend our work of IV {lambda}{lambda}1548,1551 narrow absorption lines (NALs) with z_abs_<<z_em_ on quasar spectra of the Baryon Oscillation...

T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova known to exhibit active phases, characterized by apparent increases in the hot component temperature and the appearance of flickering, i.e....

We have investigated the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 661.3nm seen in the spectra of Cepheid stars. After removal of the blending lines of ionized yttrium and neutral...

I have reinterpreted Rucinski's line profiles (broadening functions) for the hot A-type W Ursae Majoris binary AW UMa in terms of various contact models, finding that the...

We present a detailed analysis of the chemistry and kinematics of red giants in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. Spectroscopy at ~8500{AA} was acquired for 72 red giant...

Measurements are presented and analysed of the strength of the CaII triplet lines in red giants in Galactic globular and open clusters, and in a sample of red giants in the LMC...

The dust content of damped Lyman {alpha} systems (DLAs) is an important observable for understanding their origin and the neutral gas reservoirs of galaxies. While the average...

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) trace warm neutral and weakly ionized diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). Here we present a dedicated, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic survey...

The variability of broad absorption lines (BALs) is investigated for a sample of 188 BAL quasars (QSOs) (z>1.7) with at least two epoch observations from the Sloan Digital...
