    Resolving the Internal Magnetic Structure of the Solar Network.
    We analyze the spectral asymmetry of Stokes V (circularly polarized) profiles of an individual network patch in the quiet Sun observed by Sunrise/IMaX. At a...

    Resolving the nuclear dust distribution of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081.
    We report far-infrared (FIR) imaging of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081 in the range 70- 500 μm, obtained with an unprecedented angular resolution, using the...

    Rubidium-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch stars in the Magellanic Clouds.
    We have identified for the first time extragalactic rubidium-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in low metallicity environments such as the Magellacnic...

    Scientific results with the QUIJOTE-MFI wide survey: The anomalous microwave emission in our Galaxy and M31
    In the 90s, the COBE satellite discovered that not all the microwave emission from our Galaxy behaved as expected. Part of this signal was later assigned to a...

    Seismic constraints on rotation of Sun-like star and mass of exoplanet.
    Rotation is thought to drive cyclic magnetic activity in the Sun and Sun-like stars. Stellar dynamos, however, are poorly understood owing to the scarcity of...

    Signs of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' star formation in low-surface-brightness globular-cluster-rich dwarf galaxies
    Ultra-diffuse galaxies, an extreme type of dwarf galaxy, have been the focus of extensive observational and theoretical studies over the past decade. With...
