Description
The physics of infrared emission processes is examined, taking into account black body radiation, radiation from dust particles, thermal plasma emission, nonthermal plasma emission (synchrotron), line emission from gaseous nebulae, and line emission from molecular clouds. Late-type stars and mass loss are considered along with early-type stars, young clusters and embedded objects, molecular clouds, H II regions, planetary nebulae, and the galactic center region. Extragalactic sources are also discussed, giving attention to galaxies in the infrared, Seyfert and related infrared galaxies, quasars and BL Lac objects, normal galaxies, infrared galaxy searches, red-shifted galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation.

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar

    Euclid preparation. XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the
