Publications Publications in refereed journals based on ESO data (2011) The ESO Library maintains the ESO Telescope Bibliography (telbib) and is responsible for providing paper-based statistics. Access to the database for the years 1996 to present as well as information on basic publication statistics are available through the public interface of telbib (http://telbib.eso.org) and from the “Basic ESO Publication Statistics” document (http://www.eso.org/sci/libraries/edocs/ESO/ESOstats.pdf), respectively. In the list below, only those papers are included that are based on data from ESO facilities for which observing time is evaluated by the Observing Programmes Committee (OPC). Publications that use data from non-ESO telescopes or observations obtained during ‘private’ observing time are not listed here.

The Chamaeleon star-forming region has been extensively studied in the last decades. However, most studies have been confined to the densest parts of the clouds. In a previous paper, we analysed the kinematical properties of the spectroscopically confirmed population of the Chamaeleon I and II clouds. Aims. We want to search for new kinematical candidate members to the Chamaeleon I and II moving groups, extending the studied area beyond the clouds, and to characterize these new populations using available information from public databases and catalogues. We also want to check if the populations of the moving groups are confined to the present dark clouds. Methods. Kinematic candidate members were initially selected on the basis of proper motions and colours using the Fourth US Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4).

Her encouragement, guidance, and perspective helped me navigate many a challenging problem, and my conversations with her were a consistent source of positivity and learning throughout my time at Caltech. I leave graduate school a better scientist and person for having her as a role model. Heather fostered a wonderfully positive and supportive environment for her students, giving us the space to explore and grow - I could not have asked for a better advisor or research experience. I would also like to thank Konstantin Batygin for enthusiastic and illuminating discussions that always left me more excited to explore the result at hand. Thank you as well to Dimitri Mawet for providing both expertise and contagious optimism for some of my latest direct imaging endeavors. Thank you to the rest of my thesis committee, namely Geoff Blake, Evan Kirby, and Chuck Steidel for their support, helpful conversations, and insightful questions. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Brendan Bowler. His talk at Caltech my second year of graduate school introduced me to an unexpected population of massive wide-separation planetary-mass companions, and lead to a long-running collaboration from which several of my thesis projects were born.

Fermi 5, 50125 Firenze, Italy 2 CIDA - Centro de Investigaciones de Astronom`ıa, Apartado Postal 264, M´erida 5101-A, Venezuela Received / accepted ABSTRACT Aims. We aim to derive the chemical pattern of the young clusters 25 Orionis and λ Orionis through homogeneous and accurate measurements of elemental abundances. Methods. We present flames/uves observations of a sample of 14 K-type targets in the 25 Ori and λ Ori clusters; we measure their radial velocities, in order to confirm cluster membership. We derive stellar parameters and abundances of Fe, Na, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, and Ni using the code MOOG. Results. All the 25 Ori stars are confirmed cluster members without evidence of binarity; in λ Ori we identify one non-member and one candidate single-lined binary star. We find an average metallicity [Fe/H]=−0.05 ± 0.05 for 25 Ori, where the error is the 1σ standard deviation from the average. λ Ori members have a mean iron abundance value of 0.01 ± 0.01. The other elements show close-to-solar ratios and no star-to-star dispersion. Conclusions. Our results, along with previous metallicity determinations in the Orion complex, evidence a small but detectable dispersion in the [Fe/H] distribution of the complex. This appears to be compatible with large-scale star formation episodes and initial non-uniformity in the pre-cloud medium.

    Multifrequency Astrophysics (A pillar of an interdisciplinary approach for the knowledge of the physics of our Universe) ∗† Franco Giovannelli PoS(MULTIF2017)001 INAF - Istituto di Astrofisica e Planetologia Spaziali, Via del Fosso del Cavaliere, 100, 00133 Roma, Italy E-mail: [email protected] Lola Sabau-Graziati INTA- Dpt. Cargas Utiles y Ciencias del Espacio, C/ra de Ajalvir, Km 4 - E28850 Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain E-mail: [email protected] We will discuss the importance of the "Multifrequency Astrophysics" as a pillar of an interdis- ciplinary approach for the knowledge of the physics of our Universe. Indeed, as largely demon- strated in the last decades, only with the multifrequency observations of cosmic sources it is possible to get near the whole behaviour of a source and then to approach the physics governing the phenomena that originate such a behaviour. In spite of this, a multidisciplinary approach in the study of each kind of phenomenon occurring in each kind of cosmic source is even more pow- erful than a simple "astrophysical approach". A clear example of a multidisciplinary approach is that of "The Bridge between the Big Bang and Biology". This bridge can be described by using the competences of astrophysicists, planetary physicists, atmospheric physicists, geophysicists, volcanologists, biophysicists, biochemists, and astrobiophysicists. The unification of such com- petences can provide the intellectual framework that will better enable an understanding of the physics governing the formation and structure of cosmic objects, apparently uncorrelated with one another, that on the contrary constitute the steps necessary for life (e.g. Giovannelli, 2001).

Called “Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun,” the meeting empha- sized the solar stellar connection and focused discussion on “several topics … in which the similarity is manifest: the structures of chromospheres and coronae, stellar activity, and the phenomena of mass loss,” according to the preface of the resulting, “Special Report of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.” We could easily have chosen the same topics for this meeting. Over the summer of 1980, the group met again in Bonas, France and then back in Cambridge in 1981. Nearly 40 years on, I am comfortable saying these workshops have evolved to be the premier conference series for cool star research. Cool Stars has been held largely biennially, alternating between North America and Europe. Over that time, the field of stellar astro- physics has been upended several times, first by results from Hubble, then ROSAT, then Keck and other large aperture ground-based adaptive optics telescopes.

    Handbook of Star Forming Regions Vol. II Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008 Bo Reipurth, ed. Chamaeleon Kevin L. Luhman Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802, USA Abstract. The dark clouds in the constellation of Chamaeleon have distances of 160-180pc from the Sun and a total mass of ∼5000 M⊙. The three main clouds, Cha I, II, and III, have angular sizes of a few square degrees and maximum extinctions of AV ∼ 5-10. Most of the star formation in these clouds is occurring in Cha I, with the remainder in Cha II. The current census of Cha I contains 237 known members, 33 of which have spectral types indicative of brown dwarfs (>M6). Approximately 50 members of Cha II have been identified, including a few brown dwarfs. When interpreted with the evolutionary models of Chabrier and Baraffe, the H-R diagram for Cha I exhibits a median age of ∼2 Myr, making it coeval with IC 348 and slightly older than Taurus (∼1 Myr). TheIMF ofChaI reachesa maximumat a massof0.1-0.15 M⊙, and thus closely resembles the IMFs in IC 348 and the Orion Nebula Cluster. The disk fraction in Cha I is roughly constant at ∼ 50% from 0.01 to 0.3 M⊙ and increases to ∼ 65% at higher masses. In comparison, IC 348 has a similar disk fraction at low masses but a much lower disk fraction at M ∼> 1 M⊙, indicating that solar-type stars have longer disk lifetimes in Cha I. 1. Introduction The southern constellation of Chamaeleon contains one of the nearest groups of dark clouds to the Sun (d ∼ 160-180 pc).

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).
