This paper exploits spectropolarimetric data of the classical T Tauri star CI Tau collected with ESPaDOnS at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, with the aims of detecting and characterizing the large-scale magnetic field that the star…
The long-term variation of the H$\alpha$ line in $\alpha$ Eri has 14-15 years cyclic \bbe phase transitions. The disc formation time scales, interpreted as the periods during which the H$\alpha$ line emission increases from zero to its…
We present observations of the young multiple system UX Tauri to look for circumstellar disks and for signs of dynamical interactions. We obtained SPHERE/IRDIS deep differential polarization images in the J and H bands. We also used ALMA…
We find the star HD 34700 to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary. We also identify it as a weak-line T Tauri object The spectra of both components are very similar and both show the Li I feature at 6708 \AA. Strong arguments in favour of…
We present results from a Near Infrared multi-epoch spectroscopic campaign to detect a young low-mass companion to a T Tauri star. AS 205A is a late-type dwarf (~K5) of ~1 Msun that belongs to a triple system. Independent photometric…
Results of analysis of 60010 data photometric observations from the AAVSO international database are presented, which span 120 years of monitoring. The periodogram analysis shows the best fit period of 70.74d, a half of typically published…
We present multi-epoch medium-resolution observations of two M4.5 candidate members in the halo of the ~8 Myr Eta Chamaeleontis open cluster. Over six months of observations both stars exhibited variations in their H-alpha line profiles on…
We present the results of 11 nights of CCD unfiltered photometry of V4743 Sgr (Nova Sgr 2002 # 3) from 2003 and 2005. We find two periods of 0.2799 d ~ 6.7 h and 0.01642 d ~ 24 min in the 2005 data. The long period is also present in the…
The paper presents the results of long-term homogeneous spectroscopic studies of the Herbig Ae/Be star HD 141569A obtained in the optical range. We detect spectral variability on timescales of months to years, including changes in the…
We reported a cyclic variation of $O-C$ diagram with a semi-amplitude of 0.0033 days and a period of 1.05 years for the pulsating eclipsing binary HZ Dra. The cyclic variation can be explained by the light travel-time effect via the…
We determine rotation periods of a sample of 48 late F-type to mid-M dwarf stars using time-series high-resolution spectroscopy of the Ca II H&K and H-alpha chromospheric activity indicators. We find good agreement between the rotation…
We investigate retrieval of the stellar rotation signal for Proxima Centauri. We make use of high-resolution spectra taken with uves and harps of Proxima Centauri over a 13-year period as well as photometric observations of Proxima Centauri…
Classical T Tauri stars are newly formed, low mass stars which may display both periodic and random variations in their brightness. The interaction between the star and its circumstellar disk is time-dependent, leading to short or long-term…
We present the analysis of high angular resolution VLA radio observations, made at eleven epochs over the last 20 years, of the multiple system T Tauri. One of the sources (Sb) in the system has moved at moderate speed (5-10 km/s), on an…
A century of observations of omega Centauri allows us to accurately follow the period changes of a large sample of variable stars. Although the period changes are composed of monotone and irregular changes, period increases dominate in most…
Classical T Tauri stars are surrounded by a circumstellar disk from which they are accreting material. This process is essential in the formation of Sun-like stars. Although often described with simple and static models, the accretion…
We present synthetic images of disks around T Tauri stars. We calculate visibility curves in order to study the possibility of directly detecting thermal emission from T Tauri disks. Total fluxes of T Tauri disks are compared to the…
The ~2 Myr old classical T Tauri star CI Tau shows periodic variability in its radial velocity (RV) variations measured at infrared (IR) and optical wavelengths. We find that these observations are consistent with a massive planet in a…
We have carried out a photometric and spectroscopic survey of bright high-amplitude delta Scuti (HADS) stars. The aim was to detect binarity and multiperiodicity (or both) in order to explore the possibility of combining binary star…
We report our search for variability in the H-alpha emission line of the recurrent novae T CrB with time resolution 10-15 minutes. This is comparable with the time scale of the photometric flickering observed in this object. This is the…
