Description
The study of iron lines from 49 high-resolution IUE spectra observed in the period of 1985-1991 allowed us to find a repetition time between two successive shells of the order of six months. We found that absorption lines of Fe III often have two components while Fe II lines can have three. P Cygni is the only luminous blue variable that does not show photometric variability on the scale of 1-2 mag and the only one whose shell phenomena have been followed for some considerable time. The disappearance of shell components observed in Si, O and N lines is possibly a new unique phenomenon.

    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
