We present an overview of the life-cycle of the observing proposals to the GTC and the software tools designed to help the astronomers to create and submit...
Prospects for dark matter observations in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
The dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) orbiting the Milky Way are widely regarded as systems supported by velocity dispersion against self-gravity, and as prime...
Prueban un método para investigar la inflación cósmica
Un equipo de astrónomos del Observatorio Astronómico Nacional de Japón (NAOJ), con la participación del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), ha probado...
Pushing automated morphological classifications to their limits with the Dark Energy Survey
We present morphological classifications of ~27 million galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Data Release 1 (DR1) using a supervised deep learning...
PyNeb: a new software for the analysis of emission lines
We describe an ongoing project to migrate the emission-line analysis package nebular from its current environment, IRAF, to a modern programming environment...
PyNeb: a new tool for analyzing emission lines. I. Code description and validation of results
Analysis of emission lines in gaseous nebulae yields direct measures of physical conditions and chemical abundances and is the cornerstone of nebular...
Pyodine: an open, flexible reduction software for iodine-calibrated precise radial velocities
Context. Many telescopes use an iodine (I 2) absorption cell to measure precise radial velocities (RVs), but their data reduction pipelines are all tailored to...
We describe a simple step-by-step guide to qualitative interpretation of galaxy spectra. Rather than an alternative to existing automated tools, it is put...
