We have used the seven year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data in order to update the measurements of the intensity signal in the G159.6-18.5 region within the Perseus Molecular Complex, and to set constraints on the polarization level of the anomalous microwave emission in the frequency range where this emission is dominant. At 23

We report on very high energy γ-ray observations with the MAGIC Telescope of the pulsar PSR B1951+32 and its associated nebula, CTB 80. Our data constrain the cutoff energy of the pulsar to be less than 32 GeV, assuming the pulsed γ-ray emission to be exponentially cut off. In the case that the cutoff follows a superexponential behavior, the cutoff

Jupiter family comets, Centaurs and Transneptunian Objects (TNOs) are three populations of minor solar system objects that are believed to be closely related. Information about the surface composition of these objects is scarce yet essential to understanding the links between them. Comet 28P/Neujmin 1 is among the largest and least active of the

We present intermediate dispersion (0.7-2.2 A/pixel) optical spectroscopic observations aimed at applying the 'lithium test' to a sample of 10 brown dwarf candidates located in the general field, two in young open clusters, and two in close binaries. We find evidence for strong Li depletion in all of them, and thus infer lower mass limits of 0.065

Using spectropolarimetric data of an Active Region (AR) filament we have carried out inversions in order to infer vector magnetic fields in the photosphere (Si I line) and in the chromosphere (He I line). Our filament lies above the polarity inversion line (PIL) situated close to disk center and presents strong Zeeman-like signatures in both

We have discovered small whirlpools in the Sun, with a size similar to terrestrial hurricanes (
