The STRIP instrument of the Large Scale Polarization Explorer: microwave eyes to map the Galactic polarized foregrounds
In this paper we discuss the latest developments of the STRIP instrument of the "Large Scale Polarization Explorer" (LSPE) experiment. LSPE is a novel project...
The Stromgren Transition as a Diagnostic for Massive Star Formation
In the luminosity functions (LF's) of the HII regions of a set of late-type spiral galaxies we have identified the presence of a phase-change via a jump in the...
The Structural Properties of a Sample of Blue Compact Galaxies
We study the structural properties of the low surface brightness stellar hosts in blue compact galaxies by fitting a two-dimensional Sérsic law to their optical...
We have imaged the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 246 in the wavelengths [Ne V] 342.6 nm, O III at 344.4 nm, and a nearby line-free region at 338.6 nm, as well as H...
The Structure and Star-Formation History of NGC 5461
We compute photoionization models for the giant extragalactic H II region NGC 5461, and compare their predictions to several observational constraints. The...
