Context. Stellar activity and instrumental signals are the main limitations to the detection of Earth-like planets using the radial velocity (RV) technique. Recent studies show that the key to mitigating those perturbing effects might…
Active prominences exhibit plasma motions, resulting in difficulties with the interpretation of spectroscopic observations. These solar features being strongly influenced by the radiation coming from the solar disk, Doppler dimming or…
The Doppler technique measures the reflex radial motion of a star induced by the presence of companions and is the most successful method to detect exoplanets. If several planets are present, their signals will appear combined in the radial…
On the Sun, Doppler shifts of bidirectional outflows from the magnetic-reconnection site have been found only in confined regions through spectroscopic observations. Without spatially resolved spectroscopic observations across an extended…

We present 23 Doppler images of the spotted RS CVn star HR 1099 from 1981 to 1992. HR 1099 shows a large cool polar spot which has persisted for the 11 years of this study and other low-latitude spots which come and go on relatively short…

We introduce a new stacking method in Keplerian disks that (1) enhances signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) of detected molecular lines and (2) that makes visible otherwise undetectable weak lines. Our technique takes advantage of the Keplerian…
Quiescent filaments appear as absorption features on the solar disk when observed in chromospheric lines and at continuum wavelengths in the millimeter (mm) range. Active region (AR) filaments are their small-scale, low-altitude analogues,…
