Limits on the flux of nuclearites and other heavy compact objects from the "Pi of the Sky" project

Lech Wiktor Piotrowski, Katarzyna Małek, Lech Mankiewicz +4

Many theories predict the existence of very heavy compact objects, that in terms of sizes would belong to the realms of nuclear or atomic physics, but in terms of masses could exte…

V473 Lyr, a modulated, period-doubled Cepheid, and U TrA, a double-mode Cepheid observed by MOST

L. Molnár, A. Derekas, R. Szabó +36

Space-based photometric measurements first revealed low-amplitude irregularities in the pulsations of Cepheid stars, but their origins and how commonly they occur remain uncertain.…

Transition from Fireball to Poynting-flux-dominated Outflow in Three-Episode GRB 160625B

B. -B. Zhang, B. Zhang, A. J. Castro-Tirado +51

The ejecta composition is an open question in gamma-ray bursts (GRB) physics. Some GRBs possess a quasi-thermal spectral component in the time-resolved spectral analysis, suggestin…

PSF modelling for very wide-field CCD astronomy

L. W. Piotrowski, T. Batsch, H. Czyrkowski +15

One of the possible approaches to detecting optical counterparts of GRBs requires monitoring large parts of the sky. This idea has gained some instrumental support in recent years,…

Absolute properties of BG Ind - a bright F3 system just leaving the Main Sequence

M. Rozyczka, J. Kaluzny, W. Pych +5

We present photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the bright detached eclipsing binary BG Ind. The masses of the components are found to be 1.428 +- 0.008 and 1.293 +- 0.008 Msu…

The Sooner: a Large Robotic Telescope

G. Chincarini, M. Zannoni, S. Covino +30

The approach of Observational Astronomy is mainly aimed at the construction of larger aperture telescopes, more sensitive detectors and broader wavelength coverage. Certainly fruit…
