Approximately 20-30% of 1.4<z<2.5 galaxies with K<22 (Vega) detected with Spitzer MIPS at 24um show excess mid-IR emission relative to that expected based on the rates of star formation measured from other multiwavelength data.These…
The nature of the tenuous disks around A stars has raised considerable controversy in the literature during the past decade. The debate whether or not the disk around beta Pictoris contains gaseous molecular hydrogen is only the most recent…
We hereby report on a sensitive search for radio continuum observations from a sample of 34 Mira and semi-regular variable stars. The main aim of this survey was to search for thermal free-free emission from post-shock ionised gas.…
We present MIPS 24um and 70um photometry for 205 members of the Upper Scorpius OB Association. These data are combined with published MIPS photometry for 15 additional association members to assess the frequency of circumstellar disks…
We present the result of 28 hours of observations of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 with the H.E.S.S. detector in 2003. We find no evidence for very high energy gamma-ray emission from this object. Gamma-ray emission above 400 GeV from…
We report the findings of a new search for RR Lyraes in an M31 halo field located 40 arcminutes from the nucleus of the galaxy along the minor axis. We detected 37 variable stars, of which 24 are classified as RR Lyraes and the others are…
We study the mid-infrared (IR) and near-ultraviolet (UV) excess emissions of spectroscopically selected quiescent galaxies on the optical red sequence. We use the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer ({\it WISE}) mid-IR and Galaxy Evolution…
Coronagraphic optical observations of six Vega-like stars reveal reflection nebulosities, five of which were previously unknown. The nebulosities illuminated by HD 4881, HD 23362, HD 23680, HD 26676, and HD 49662 resemble that of the…
The progenitors of Type IIP supernovae have an apparent upper limit to their initial masses of about 20 solar masses, suggesting that the most massive red supergiants evolve to warmer temperatures before their terminal explosion. But very…
We present 7 mm, 1.3 cm and 3.6 cm continuum observations made with the Very Large Array toward a sample of ten luminous IRAS sources that are believed to be regions of massive star formation. We detect compact 7 mm emission in four of…
From an analysis of almost 2000 GALEX images of galaxies with morphological types ranging from E to Sab, we have found a significant subset (28%) that show UV emission outside $R_{25}$. We have obtained H$\alpha$ imaging of ten such…
Using gamma-ray data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope, various groups have identified a clear excess emission in the Inner Galaxy, at energies around a few GeV. This excess resembles remarkably well a signal from dark-matter…
Low-mass emission-line stars belong to various evolutionary stages, from pre-main-sequence young stars to evolved stars. In this work, we present a catalog of late-type (F0 to M9) emission-line stars from the LAMOST Data Release 6. Using…
Using the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic catalog, we searched the WISE AllWISE catalog to investigate the occurrence of warm dust, as inferred from IR excesses, around field M dwarfs (dMs). We developed SDSS/WISE color selection criteria to…
An increasing number of non-terminal eruptions are being found in the numerous surveys for optical transients. Very little is known about these giant eruptions, their progenitors and their evolutionary state. A greatly improved census of…
We report the discovery of a debris system associated with the $\sim 30$ Myr old G3/5V star HD 12039 using {\it Spitzer Space Telescope} observations from 3.6 -- 160$\mu$m. An observed infrared excess (L$_{\rm IR}$/L$_{\ast} =…
We have observed 152 nearby solar-type stars with the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Including stars that met our criteria but were observed in other surveys, we get an overall success rate for finding excesses…
We present ground-based mid-infrared imaging for 27 M-, S- and C-type Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. The data are compared with those of the database available thanks to the IRAS, ISO, MSX and 2MASS catalogues. Our goal is to…
We present images of the Vega system obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer at 1.3 millimeters wavelength with sub-mJy sensitivity and $\sim2\farcs5$ resolution (about 20 AU). These observations clearly detect the stellar…
L-band data of 30 Doradus at 3.5 micron taken with SPIREX (South Pole Infrared Explorer) is presented. The photometry was combined with 2MASS JHK data at 1.25-2.2 micron. Colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams are constructed and used…
