(2009) [Artigo de periódico]
      We report on the analysis of 436.1 hr of nearly continuous high-speed photometry on the pulsating DB white dwarf GD358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during the 2006 international observing run, designated ...
    • Astrophysical parameters of 14 open clusters projected close to the Galactic plane 

      Camargo, Denilso da Silva; Bonatto, Charles Jose; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani (2009) [Artigo de periódico]
      Aims. Astrophysical parameters (age, reddening, distance, core and cluster radii) of 14 open clusters (OCs) projected close to the Galactic plane are derived with 2MASS photometry. The OCs are Be 63, Be 84, Cz 6, Cz 7, Cz ...
    • Detailed analysis of open clusters : a mass function break and evidence of a fundamental plane 

      Bonatto, Charles Jose; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani (2005) [Artigo de periódico]
      We derive photometric, structural and dynamical evolution-related parameters of 11 nearby open clusters with ages in the range 70 Myr to 7 Gyr and masses in the range ≈400 Mʘ to ≈5300 Mʘ. The clusters are homogeneously ...
    • NGC 2180 : a disrupting open cluster? 

      Bonatto, Charles Jose; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani; Pavani, Daniela Borges (2004) [Artigo de periódico]
      The spatial dependence of luminosity and mass functions of evolved open clusters is discussed in this work using J and H 2MASS photometry, which allows a wide spatial coverage and proper background determination. The target ...
    • The mass ratio and initial mass functions in spectroscopic binaries 

      Ducati, Jorge Ricardo; Penteado, Eduardo Monfardini; Turcati, Rodrigo (2011) [Artigo de periódico]
      Context. Spectroscopic binaries are important in studies of binary star-formation, since original information linked to the forming stars, such as the mass ratio, can be kept in the system and observationally retrieved. ...
    • Thirty-five new pulsating DA white dwarf stars 

      Mukadam, Anjum Shagufta; Mullally, Fergal; Nather, R. Edward; Winget, Donald Earl; Von Hippel, Theodore A.; Kleinman, Scot James; Nitta, Atsuko; Krzesinski, Jerzy; Kepler, Souza Oliveira; Kanaan Neto, Antonio Nemer; Koester, Detlev; Sullivan, Denis J.; Homeier, Derek; Thompson, S. E.; Reaves, David Earl; Cotter, C.; Slaughter, D.; Brinkmann, Jon (2004) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present 35 new pulsating DA (hydrogen atmosphere) white dwarf stars discovered from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). We have acquired high-speed time series photometry of preselected ...
    • Understanding the cool DA white dwarf pulsator G29-38

(1998) [Artigo de periódico]
      The white dwarfs are promising laboratories for the study of cosmochronology and stellar evolution. Through observations of the pulsating white dwarfs, we can measure their internal structures and compositions, critical ...
