A comprehensive comparison of the Sun to other stars: searching for self-selection effects
Jose A. Robles, Charles H. Lineweaver, Daniel Grether +5
If the origin of life and the evolution of observers on a planet is favoured by atypical properties of a planet's host star, we would expect our Sun to be atypical with respect to…
The Determination of Stellar Parameters of Giants in the Galactic Disks and Bulge
J. Byström, N. Ryde, S. Feltzing +2
Here, we present our on-going work on the determination of stellar parameters of giants in the Galactic Disks and Bulge observed with UVES on the VLT. We present some preliminarily…
Broadband UBVRI Photometry of Horizontal-Branch and Metal-Poor Candidates from the HK and Hamburg/ESO Surveys. I
Timothy C. Beers, Chris Flynn, Silvia Rossi +17
We report broadband UBV and/or BVRI CCD photometry for a total of 1857 stars in the thick-disk and halo populations of the Galaxy. The majority of our targets were selected as cand…
On the mass-to-light ratio of the local Galactic disc and the optical luminosity of the Galaxy
Chris Flynn, Johan Holmberg, Laura Portinari +2
We measure the volume luminosity density and surface luminosity density generated by the Galactic disc, using accurate data on the local luminosity function and the disc's vertical…
Evidence for a Supernova Associated with the X-ray Flash 020903
D. Bersier, A. S. Fruchter, L. -G. Strolger +24
We present ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope optical observations of the X-ray flash (XRF) 020903, covering 300 days. The afterglow showed a very rapid rise in the first day,…
The colours of the Sun
Johan Holmberg, Chris Flynn, Laura Portinari
We compile a sample of Sun-like stars with accurate effective temperatures, metallicities and colours (from the UV to the near-IR). A crucial improvement is that the effective temp…
