Context: There is considerable interest in the helium variable a Cen as a bridge between helium-weak and helium-strong CP stars. Aims: We investigate Ce III and other possible lanthanides in the spectrum the of hottest chemically peculiar…
Emission in the 4d - 4f transitions of MnII (multiplet 13, 6122-6132 Ang), in the 4f - 6g transitions of PII, and in 6149.5 Ang of HgII has been detected in the spectrum of the helium weak star 3 Centauri A (B5 III-IVp). Weaker emission…
The recent availability of ESO's high-resolution spectrograph CRIRES offers now the opportunity to study numerous spectral features in the near-IR in intermediate-mass main-sequence and pre-main-sequence stars. High-resolution CRIRES…
Previous x-ray diffraction studies have reported Eu to transform from the hcp structure to a new phase, Eu-III, at 18 GPa. Using x-ray powder diffraction we have determined that Eu remains hcp up to 33 GPa, and that the extra peaks that…
ESO spectra of HD 65949 show it to be unlike any of the well-known types within its temperature range $\approx$ 13600K. It is neither a silicon, nor a mercury-manganese star, though it has a huge Hg II line at $\lambda$3984. We estimate…
Powerful astronomical spectra reveal an urgent need for additional work on atomic lines, levels, and oscillator strengths. The star HD 65949 provides some excellent examples of species rarely identified in stellar spectra. For example, the…
The 609u 3P1 -> 3P0 line of neutral atomic carbon has been detected in the protoplanetary nebulae CRL 618 and CRL 2688. CI appears to be about 7% as abundant as CO in CRL 2688, and 70% as abundant as CO in CRL 618. CI emission arises…
There are 88 stars which lack colours, but have measured parallaxes in \textit{Gaia} EDR3 that place them within 20\,pc from the sun. Among them we found two new common parallax and proper motion (CPPM) companions separated from their…
We report on a search for the Fe xiii forbidden coronal line at 3388.1 \AA in a sample of 15 M-type dwarf stars covering the whole spectral class as well as different levels of activity. A clear detection was achieved for LHS 2076 during a…
We present a catalog of 3339 hot emission-line stars (ELS) identified from 451,695 O, B, and A type spectra, provided by the LAMOST DR5 release. We developed an automated python routine that identified 5437 spectra having a peak between…
We present the results of the observations of some roAp stars made at Mount Stromlo Observatory during 17 nights in 2001 September-October. This long observing run permitted us to obtain a good phase-rotation coverage. In chemically…
The spectrum of the evolved B8 III giant HR 62 exhibits weak He-lines and strong Mn and P lines. HR 62 therefore resembles both a HgMn star (CP3) and a He-weak PGa star (CP4). This study is a companion project to a high resolution survey of…
The spectrophotometric variability of the classical magnetic CP star alpha2 CVn in the ultraviolet spectral region from 1150 to 3200 A is investigated. This study is based on the archival International Ultraviolet Explorer data obtained at…
We present the first medium-resolution ($R\sim 600$) mid-infrared (8-13.3\micron) spectra of 11 Be stars. A large number of lines are observed and identified in these spectra, including, as an example, 39 hydrogen recombination lines in the…
The variability of twice ionized lines of carbon and silicon in the ultraviolet spectral region of the magnetic Bp star a Centauri is investigated. This study is based on the archival {\it International Ultraviolet Explorer} data obtained…
The z = 6.6 Lyman-$\alpha$ emitter 'CR7' has been claimed to have a Population III-like stellar population, or alternatively, be a candidate Direct Collapse Black Hole (DCBH). In this paper we investigate the evidence for these exotic…
We present the results of optical and near-IR spectroscopic and near-IR photometric observations of the emission-line stars Hen3-298 and Hen3-303. Strong emission in the H-alpha line is found in both objects. The presence of Fe II and [O I]…
UVES spectra of the very young (~10^7 years) peculiar B-type star HR 6000 were analyzed in the near-UV and visual spectral regions (3050-9460 A) with the aim to extend to other spectral ranges the study made previously in the UV using IUE…
Europium isotopic abundance fractions are reported for the very metal-poor, neutron-capture-rich giant stars CS 22892-052, HD 115444, and BD +17 3248. The abundance fractions, derived from analysis of several strong Eu II lines appearing in…
The EUV (100-912 {\AA}) is a spectral region notoriously difficult to observe due to attenuation by neutral hydrogen gas in the interstellar medium. Despite this, hundreds to thousands of nearby stars of different spectral types and…
