Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations

J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234

A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…

The 2017 May 20 stellar occultation by the elongated centaur (95626) 2002 GZ

P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz, B. Sicardy +56

We predicted a stellar occultation of the bright star Gaia DR1 4332852996360346368 (UCAC4 385-75921) (m= 14.0 mag) by the centaur 2002 GZ for 2017 May 20$^{\rm th}…

Unveiling the environment and faint features of the isolated galaxy CIG 96 with deep optical and HI observations

P. Ramirez-Moreta, L. Verdes-Montenegro, J. Blasco-Herrera +21

Asymmetries in HI in galaxies are often caused by the interaction with close companions, making isolated galaxies an ideal framework to study secular evolution. The AMIGA project h…

A tale of two GRB-SNe at a common redshift of z = 0.54

Z. Cano, D. Bersier, C. Guidorzi +71

We present ground-based and HST optical observations of the optical transients (OTs) of long-duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) 060729 and 090618, both at a redshift of z = 0.54. For…
