Description
We present preliminary OSIRIS Hα, [NII] and [SII] images and line-ratios on the large-scale shock (about 40 kpc long) discovered in the most popular compact group of galaxies: the Stephan's Quintet. The images were obtained by the instrument OSIRIS attached to the GTC. In this work we study only the central region of the shock and show that the shocked region is formed of bright clumps embedded in faint, diffuse gas. We confirm that the shocked gas has high (larger than one) [NII]/Hα and [SII]/Hα line-ratios, characteristic of interstellar radiative shocks and we are able of estimating electron densities from the [SII] 6717/6731 line-ratio.

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses
    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were

    IRAM 30-meter millimeter follow-up of deep OSIRIS-GTC optical surveys
    It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of H2 in massive IR (L IR ≳ 10 9 L ⊙) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between L IR and L' CO that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for 12CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z < 0

    The NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zeldovich Large Program. Sample and upcoming product public release
    The NIKA2 camera operating at the IRAM 30-m telescope excels in high-angular resolution mapping of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect towards galaxy clusters at intermediate and high-redshift. As part of the NIKA2 guaranteed-time, the SZ Large Program (LPSZ) aims at tSZ-mapping a representative sample of SZ-selected galaxy clusters in the
