The proper motions of 276 individual sunspots were observed with a triple-exposures method, and then analyzed. Their linear drifts give the mean motions (degree day(-1) ), which, depending on the heliographic latitude B, are the... more
Aims. A census of molecular hydrogen flows across the entire Orion A giant molecular cloud is sought. With this paper we aim to associate each flow with its progenitor and associated molecular core, so that the characteristics of the... more

We present a spectral atlas of the post-main-sequence population of the most massive Galactic globular cluster, omega Centauri. Spectra were obtained of more than 1500 stars selected as uniformly as possible from across the (B, B-V)... more
... We use as input the T eff and log g that correspond best to the spectral type derived according to the calibration of Morton and Adams (1968) for B-type main sequence stars and that of Humphreys and McElroy (1984) for one supergiant... more
Shortly after birth, open clusters start dissolving; gradually losing stars into the surrounding star field. The time scale for complete disintegration depends both on their initial membership and location within the Galaxy. Open clusters... more
We have measured the mean three-dimensional kinematics of stars in Kapteyn's Selected Area (SA) 76 (l = 209fdg3, b = 26fdg4) that were selected to be Anticenter Stream (ACS) members on the basis of their radial velocities (RVs), proper... more
One of the main endeavors of fundamental astrometry is to establish a practical realization of a nonrotating, inertial reference frame anchored to celestial objects whose positions are defined in the barycentric coordinates of the solar... more
