This paper reports on our new findings from the International Time Program observations at the Canaries islands, Spain, in July 2005. We have found small-scale photospheric events with extremely red-shifted Stokes V signals in sunspot moat regions. A preliminary estimate of the physical conditions for an observed Stokes V profile indicates the

We have analyzed high spatial and spectral resolution Hα emission-line TAURUS data on two nearby giant H II regions, NGC 604 and NGC 588. Previous work shows that while NGC 604 is a relatively young system whose emission line kinematics is due to a combination of gravity and stellar wind-blown shells, NGC 588 seems more evolved, with its ionized

Bidimensional spectroscopy with good spatial and spectral resolution, sampling a particular emission line over the whole emitting area, is shown here to be the most suitable observational technique for understanding the kinematics of giant extragalactic H II regions (GEHRs). The TAURUS II Fabry-Perot spectrograph is an excellent instrument for this

We present a high-quality color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for a 36'×36' field located 8° (~=7 kpc) from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) center, as well as a precise determination of the LMC surface brightness derived from the resolved stellar population out to this large galactocentric radius. This deep CMD shows for the first time the detailed age

We present a systematic study of the morphology of homoepitaxial InP films grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy which are imaged with ex situ atomic force microscopy. These films show a dramatic range of different surface morphologies as a function of the growth conditions and substrate (growth temperature, V/III ratio, and miscut angle
