  • Uncertainties in the solar photospheric oxygen abundance
    Aims: The purpose of this work is to better understand the confidence limits of the photospheric solar oxygen abundance derived from three-dimensional models using the forbidden [OI] line at 6300 Å, including correlations with other parameters involved. Methods: We worked with a three-dimensional empirical model and two solar intensity atlases

  • Ultra-deep imaging of nearby galaxy outskirts from the ground
    We show how present-day 10 meter class telescopes can provide broadband imaging 1.5-2 mag deeper than most previous results within a reasonable amount of time ( ~ 8h on source integration). We illustrate the ability of the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC) telescope to produce imaging with a limiting surface brightness of 31.5 mag/arcsec2

  • Truncated disc surface brightness profiles produced by flares
    Previous studies have discarded that flares in galactic discs may explain the truncation that are frequently observed in highly-inclined galaxies (Kregel et al. 2002). However, no study has systematically analysed this hypothesis using realistic models for the disc, the flare and the bulge. We derive edge-on and face-on surface brightness profiles

  • The very high redshift component of the OTELO survey
    Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) stand out among the most used tools to study the galaxy formation in the early universe. Despite they constitute truly evolutionary probes of galaxy formation, evidence suggests that LAEs & LBGs correspond to different kinds of extragalactic sources regarding star formation modes, spatial

  • The Splitting of Double-component Active Asteroid P/2016 J1 (PANSTARRS)
    We present deep imaging observations, orbital dynamics, and dust-tail model analyses of the double-component asteroid P/2016 J1 (J1-A and J1-B). The observations were acquired at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) from mid-March to late July of 2016. A statistical analysis of backward-in-time

  • The Rb problem in massive AGB stars.
    The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is formed by low- and intermediate-mass stars (0.8 M_{⊙} M 8 M_{⊙}) in their last nuclear-burning phase, when they develop thermal pulses (TP) and suffer extreme mass loss. AGB stars are the main contributor to the enrichment of the interstellar medium (ISM) and thus to the chemical evolution of galaxies. In
