Remolinos en el Sol. Investigadores del IAC y de la Universidad de Valencia han descubierto remolinos en el Sol semejantes al que forma el agua alrededor del...
Hubble Space Telescope study of resolved red giant stars in the outer halos of nearby dwarf starburst galaxies.
Central starbursts in galaxies are an extreme example of ongoing galaxy evolution. The outer parts of galaxies contain a fossil record ofgalaxy formation and...
Hydrogenated amorphous carbon grains as a carrier of unidentified IR bands in planetary nebulae
It is well known that fullerenes – big, complex, and highly resistant carbon molecules with potential applications in nanotechnology – are mostly seen in...
The ultra-deep multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields coverage of the Abell Cluster 2744 is used to derive the stellar population properties of...
Intracluster light: a luminous tracer for dark matter in clusters of galaxies
The bulk of stars in galaxy clusters are confined within their constituent galaxies. Those stars do not trace the extended distribution of dark matter well as...
Is the Large Magellanic Cloud spiral arm a stable structure?
Some galaxies in the Universe display beautiful and appealing features known as "spiral arms". However, not all galaxies show spiral arms in the same manner...
Jupiter as an Exoplanet: UV to NIR Transmission Spectrum Reveals Hazes, a Na Layer, and Possibly Stratospheric H2O-ice Clouds.
Currently, the analysis of transmission spectra is the most successful technique to probe the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. However, the...
KINEMATIC, STRUCTURAL AND COMPOSITION STUDIES OF THE INTERSTELLAR AND INTERGALACTIC MEDIA.
Se ha llevado a cabo la construcción y la puesta a punto de un nuevo instrumento “GHaFaS” (“Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot Spectrometer), en el telescopio William...
Lack of color changes in the transits of disintegrating material close to a white dwarf
During the last decades, growing evidence about the presence of planetary material around white dwarfs has been established. The features of heavy elements in...
