  • The physics of the HII regions: the photoionization equilibrium in the HII regions of M51
    A general overview of the physical properties of the HII regions is presented here, emphasizing the various general models made to explain their structure and behaviour. The Lyman continuum effective extinction, representing a measure of the extinguished or lost fraction of the ionizing flux, is explained briefly, and the results of a study

  • The Planck-LFI Radiometer Electronics Box Assembly
    The Radiometer Electronics Box Assembly (REBA) is the control and data processing on board computer of the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) of the Planck mission (ESA). The REBA was designed and built incorporating state of the art processors, communication interfaces and real time operating system software in order to meet the scientific performance

  • The population, magnitudes, and sizes of Jupiter family comets
    We analyze the sample of measured nuclear magnitudes of the observed Jupiter family (JF) comets (taken as those with orbital periods P 20 years and Tisserand parameters T > 2). We find a tendency of the measured nuclear magnitudes to be fainter as JF comets are observed with CCD detectors attached to medium- and large-size telescopes (e.g

  • The possible connection between ionization in the atmosphere by cosmic rays and low level clouds
    Recent analysis of monthly mean cloud data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project uncovered a strong correlation between low cloud and the cosmic ray flux for extensive regions of the Earth. Additional data have been recently released covering the period up to September 2001 with which we have made a new study of the

  • The Pristine survey - III. Spectroscopic confirmation of an efficient search for extremely metal-poor stars
    The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the Ca II H&K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely metal-poor stars. In this work, we use the first results of a medium-resolution spectroscopic follow-up to refine the selection criteria for finding extremely metal-poor stars

  • The prompt emission and peculiar break of GRB 060124
    Our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 060124 shows the unusual behaviour of the decaying lightcurve as well as supporting the recently proposed phenomenon of long-lasting central engine activity. The prompt X-ray emission displays uncommonly well resolved flaring behaviour, with spectral evolution - indicative of central engine activity - which
