We present Gemini-North GMOS/IFU observations of a young star cluster and its environment near the centre of the dwarf irregular starburst galaxy NGC 1569. This forms part of a larger and ongoing study of the formation and collimation mechanisms of galactic winds, including three additional IFU pointings in NGC 1569 covering the base of the

Theoretical studies of the normal modes of a coronal slab often neglect gravity, as in Edwin and Roberts ( Solar Phys. 71, 239, 1982). Here we study analytically the effect of gravity acting on a horizontal slab as a first step away from a homogeneous medium. Because of the inclusion of gravity, the symmetry of a homogeneous slab is lost, so the

After four years during which only the spectacular light echo was showing continuous and rapid evolution while the central star was nearly constant, in autumn 2006 V838 Mon began a sequence of events which profoundly altered its spectroscopic and photometric behavior: (a) an eclipse of the B3V companion, characterized by the disappearance and

We report the discovery of a galactic wind in the central region of the galaxy M100. This result is based on a careful 2D spectroscopic study performed on observations made with the fibre system INTEGRAL on the William Herschel Telescope. The primary evidence of the wind is the presence of blueshifted interstellar NaD absorption lines. The velocity

El detector AMS-02 se instalará en la Estación Espacial Internacional durante al menos tres años para realizar un estudio exhaustivo del espectro de rayos cósmicos galácticos. El detector está formado por un espectrómeto magnético y varios subdetectores que miden las propiedades de las partículas (rigidez, carga, signo de la carga, velocidad y

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
