We have investigated the nature of the energy source of 36 LINERs with Chandra X-ray observations selected from the catalogue by Carrillo et al. (1999). In most galaxies a nuclear compact source has been detected in the hard band (2-8 KeV). However they show a rather irregular morphology embedded in diffuse X-ray emission for lower energies (0.3-2

New calculations of the Galactic contribution to microwave background radiation anisotropies are carried out and a probable Galactic predominance over cosmological signals at large scales is explored for these frequencies When we take into account a frequency-dependent contrast of molecular cloud with respect to the Galactic background of the

Atomic emission spectroscopy is a passive spectroscopy technique widely used in the diagnosis of plasmas which does not alter the internal kinectic of the discharge during the measurement process, under high pressure conditions. Line profiles are adequately fitted by a Voigt function. One of the parameter which characterizes these spectral lines is

We report here the first results of a program aimed at obtaining high signal to noise (up to ~ 500) optical spectroscopy of a large sample of BL Lac objects using ESO VLT+FORS1. New spectroscopic observations have been obtained for 31 objects, which allows us to obtain new redshift for 13 targets and provide better classification for others. In a
