The DESIRED temperature─metallicity relations in star-forming regions: probing the Galactic radial and azimuthal metallicity distributions
We analyse a sample of 225 star-forming regions from the DESIRED-E project, each with simultaneous determinations of the electron temperature from ionized...
The Detection and Investigation of Exoplanets with MASTER Global Network Telescopes
The paper presents the method for detecting exoplanets in the image archive obtained by telescopes of the MASTER Global Network since 2002. The unique archive...
The Detection of a Population of Submillimeter-Bright, Strongly Lensed Galaxies
Gravitational lensing is a powerful astrophysical and cosmological probe and is particularly valuable at submillimeter wavelengths for the study of the...
The development of a utopian city? Comparing land- and skyscapes in Cruz de Tenerife and San Cristobal de La laguna
We discuss the peculiar planning of the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, in the Canary Island of Tenerife (Spain), when compared to the nearby and...
The diagnostic potential of the weak field approximation for investigating the quiet Sun magnetism: the Si I 10 827 Å line
Aims: We aim to investigate the validity of the weak field approximation (WFA) for determining magnetic fields in quiet regions of the solar photosphere using...
The Differences in the Torus Geometry between Hidden and Non-hidden Broad Line Active Galactic Nuclei
We present results from the fitting of infrared (IR) spectral energy distributions of 21 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with clumpy torus models. We compiled...
The diffuse interstellar band around 8620 Å. II. Kinematics and distance of the DIB carrier
Context. Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are important interstellar absorption features of which the origin is still debated. With the large data sets from...
It is now well established that there is a diffuse ionized medium which extends far beyond the discs of spirals. The mechanism responsible for the ionization is...
