    • Beryllium abundances in stars with planets : extending the sample 

      Galvez-Ortiz, M.C.; Delgado-Mena, E.; Hernandez, J.; Israelian, G.; Santos, N.C.; Rebolo, R.; Ecuvillon, A. (2011)
      Context : Chemical abundances of light elements such as beryllium in planet-host stars allow us to study the planet formation scenarios and/or investigate possible surface pollution processes. Aims : We present here an ...
    • A candidate super-Earth planet orbiting near the snow line of Barnard's star 

      Ribas, I.; Tuomi, M.; Reiners, A.; Butler, R. P.; Morales, J. C.; Perger, M.; Dreizler, S.; Rodríguez-López, C.; Hernández, J. I. González; Rosich, A.; Feng, F.; Trifonov, T.; Vogt, S. S.; Caballero, J. A.; Hatzes, A.; Herrero, E.; Jeffers, S. V.; Lafarga, M.; Murgas, F.; Rodríguez, E.; Strachan, J. B. P.; Tal-Or, L.; Teske, J.; Toledo-Padrón, B.; Zechmeister, M.; Quirrenbach, A.; Amado, P. J.; Azzaro, M.; Béjar, V. J. S.; Barnes, J. R.; Berdiñas, Z. M.; Coleman, G.; Cortés-Contreras, M.; Crane, J.; Engle, S. G.; Guinan, E. F.; Haswell, C. A.; Henning, Th; Holden, B.; Jones, H. R. A.; Kaminski, A.; Kiraga, M.; Kürster, M.; López-González, M.

(2018-11-15)
      Barnard’s star is a red dwarf, and has the largest proper motion (apparent motion across the sky) of all known stars. At a distance of 1.8 parsecs, it is the closest single star to the Sun; only the three stars in the α ...
    • A deep WISE search for very late type objects and the discovery of two halo/thick-disc T dwarfs : WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052 

      Pinfield, D.J.; Gomes, J.; Day-Jones, A. C.; Leggett, S.K.; Gromadzki, M.; Burningham, B.; Ruiz, M. T.; Kurtev, R.; Cattermole, T.; Cardoso, C.; Lodieu, N.; Faherty, J.; Littlefair, S.; Smart, R.; Irwin, M.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Smith, Leigh; Lucas, P.W.; Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Jenkins, J. S.; Jones, H.R.A.; Rebolo, R.; Bejar, V. J. S.; Gauza, B. (2014-01-11)
      A method is defined for identifying late-T and Y dwarfs in WISE down to low values of signal-to-noise. This requires a WISE detection only in the W2-band and uses the statistical properties of the WISE multiframe measurements ...
    • Mid-IR spectra of type Ia SN 2014J in M82 spanning the first 4 months 

      Telesco, C.M.; Hoflich, P.; Li, D.; Alvarez, C.; Wright, C.M.; Barnes, P.J.; Fernandez, S.; Hough, James; Levenson, N.A.; Marinas, N.; Packham, C.; Pantin, E.; Rebolo, R.; Roche, P.; Zhang, H. (2015-01-10)
      We present a time series of 8-13 μm spectra and photometry for SN 2014J obtained 57, 81, 108, and 137 days after the explosion using CanariCam on the Gran Telescopio Canarias. This is the first mid-IR time series ever ...
    • Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs - III. The halo transitional brown dwarfs 

      Zhang, Z. H.; Pinfield, D. J.; Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Homeier, D.; Burgasser, A. J.; Lodieu, N.; Martin, E. L.; Osorio, M. R. Zapatero; Allard, F.; Jones, H. R. A.; Smart, R. L.; Marti, B. Lopez; Burningham, B.; Rebolo, R. (2018-09-01)
      We report the discovery of an esdL3 subdwarf, ULAS J020858.62+020657.0 and a usdL4.5 subdwarf, ULAS J230711.01+014447.1. They were identified as L subdwarfs by optical spectra obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias, ...
    • Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs - IV. New L subdwarfs, Gaia astrometry, population properties, and a blue brown dwarf binary 

      Zhang, Z. H.; Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Pinfield, D. J.; Burgasser, A. J.; Lodieu, N.; Jones, H. R. A.; Martin, E. L.; Burningham, B.; Homeier, D.; Allard, F.; Osorio, M. R. Zapatero; Smith, L. C.; Smart, R. L.; Marti, B. Lopez; Marocco, F.; Rebolo, R. (2018-11-11)
      We present 27 new L subdwarfs and classify five of them as esdL and 22 as sdL. Our L subdwarf candidates were selected with the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Spectroscopic follow-up was carried ...
