Any population of asteroids, like asteroid families, will disperse in semi-major axis due to the Yarkovsky effect. The amount of drift is modulated by the asteroid spin state evolution which determines the balance between the diurnal and…

The Haumea family is currently the only identified collisional family in the Kuiper belt. We numerically simulate the long-term dynamical evolution of the family to estimate a lower limit of the family's age and to assess how the population…

Recent papers published in the last years contributed to resolve the enigma on the hypothetical Be nature of the hot pulsating star $\beta$ Cep. This star shows variable emission in the H$\alpha$ line, typical for Be stars, but its…

We report on $BVI$ CCD photometry of a field centered in the region of the Galactic star cluster Whiting~1 down to $V=23.0$. This cluster has never been studied insofar, and we provide for the first time estimates of its fundamental…

Two leading hypotheses for hot Jupiter migration are disk migration and high-eccentricity migration (HEM). Stellar obliquity is commonly used to distinguish them, as high obliquity often accompanies HEM. However, low obliquity does not…

We present deep CCD photometry of the very rich, intermediate aged (similar to the Hyades) open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). The V, B-V color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for the cluster shows an extremely well populated and very tightly…

We study the cluster population in a region of 3.2x3.2 kpc^2 in the inner spiral arms of the intergacting galaxy M51, at a distance of about 1 to 3 kpc from the nucleus, based on HST--WFPC2 images taken through five broadband and two…

We present Hubble Space Telescope Planetary Camera UVI data for the little-studied cluster Hodge 301 3' northwest of 30 Doradus' central ionizing cluster R136. The average reddening of Hodge 301 is found to be <E(B-V)> = (0.28+-0.05) mag…

The spatial distribution and the population nature of subdwarf B type stars in the galaxy is investigated based on the kinematics of these stars. The orbits of 41 stars have been calculated using a galactic mass model. These are well…

The Karin cluster is a young asteroid family thought to have formed only $\simeq 5.75$~My ago. The young age can be demonstrated by numerically integrating the orbits of Karin cluster members backward in time and showing the convergence of…

We investigate the distribution of bright main sequence stars near the northern edge of the M33 disk. Clustering on sub-kpc scales is seen among stars with ages near 10 Myr, and two large star-forming complexes are identified. Similar…

It has been suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters might reach several per cent, significantly higher than that of the field ($\sim$ a per cent). In a stellar cluster, when a planetary system scatters with…

The space velocities from the catalog of Nordstrom et al. (2004) are used to trace variations of a number of kinematic parameters of single F and G dwarfs as a function of their age. The vertex deviation of disk stars increases from 7+- 1…

We use observations from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) to determine the bias-corrected population of small members in four very young families down to sizes equivalent to several hundred meters. Using the most recent catalog of known…

The Karin family is a very young asteroid family created by an asteroid breakup 5.8 Myr ago. Since the members of this family probably have not experienced significant orbital or collisional evolution yet, it is possible that they still…

Centaurs are objects whose orbits are found between those of the giant planets. They are supposed to originate mainly from the TransNeptunian objects, and they are among the sources of NearEarth Objects.TransNeptunian Objects (TNOs) cross…

We present a near-infrared study of the candidate star cluster Mercer 81, located at the centre of the G338.4+0.1 HII region, and close to the TeV gamma-ray source HESS 1640-465. Using HST/NICMOS imaging and VLT/ISAAC spectroscopy we have…

Evidence for a large scale flow of low density gas onto the Cepheus A young stellar cluster is presented. Observations of K-band near-infrared and multi-transition CS and N2H+ millimeter line emission are shown in relation to a…

Hot Jupiters are giant Jupiter-like exoplanets that orbit 100x closer to their host stars than Jupiter does to the Sun. These planets presumably form in the outer part of the primordial disc from which both the central star and surrounding…

WASP-107 b seems to be a poster child of the long-suspected high-eccentricity migration scenario. It is on a 5.7-day, polar orbit. The planet is Jupiter-like in radius but Neptune-like in mass with exceptionally low density. WASP-107 c is…
