The planetary nebula NGC 6720, also known as the "Ring Nebula," is one of the most iconic examples of nearby planetary nebulae whose morphologies present a challenge to our theoretical understanding of the processes that govern the deaths of most stars in the Universe that evolve on a Hubble time. We present new imaging with JWST of the central

Studying the birthplaces of massive stars is crucial for understanding the role of clustering in the formation of these objects. Some authors claim that massive stars cannot be born in isolation because the vast majority of them are part of a massive cluster or have been ejected from one of these groups. However, this may be caused by an

We present an spectroscopic study of a sample of bright gamma-ray blazars. Our dataset includes spectra of a sample of about 10 targets, all of them Flat-Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs). The spectra were obtained nearly periodically during the period from 2008 to 2018. We have used a fitting code (PyQSOFit) specifically developed to model the

Ion fast ignition by laser-driven ion beams is an interesting approach within the inertial confinement fusion scheme to achieve nuclear fusion. In the ion fast ignition, once the precompression of the target is finished, a sphere of fully ionized deuterium-tritium (DT) is obtained. In this work, we have investigated the following stages: heating of

Context. We investigate the physico-chemical properties of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 3242 in both 1D and 2D, using integral field unit (IFU) data. This PN has a complex morphology with multiple shells and contains a pair of structures with a lower degree of ionization compared to the main nebular components. The origin of these so-called low

We report the discovery of emission lines in the optical spectra of ultracompact massive galaxies (UCMGs) from INSPIRE including relics, which are the oldest galaxies in the Universe. Emission-lines diagnostic diagrams suggest that all these UCMGs, independently of their star formation histories, are 'retired galaxies'. They are inconsistent with
