Surface Brightness Fluctuations for constraining the chemical enrichment of massive galaxies
Based on very deep photometry, Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) have been traditionally used to determine galaxy distances. We have recently computed SBF...
Surface Brightness Fluctuations: Preliminary approach to unveiling metal-poor components in elliptical galaxies
Besides the standard analysis based on mean properties, Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) spectra provide an alternative way for studying stellar...
Surface Characteristics of Comet-Asteroid Transition Objects 944 Hidalgo and 162P/Siding Spring (2004 TU12)
We present initial results from infrared and visible observations of two comet-asteroid transition objects. 944 Hidalgo is one of the asteroids most likely to...
Surface Density of Extremely Red Objects with R-J ≥ 5
A catalogue of galaxies with extremely red colours (R-J≥5), covering 8.43 square degrees has been selected from optical and near-infrared data. Based on their...
Surface Inhomogeneities and Semi-Empirical Modeling of Metal-Poor Stellar Photospheres
The interpretation of detailed spectroscopic observations of different stars reveals inconsistencies, due likely to inadequacies of the underlying hypothesis...
Surface Inhomogeneities and Semiempirical Modeling of Metal-poor Stellar Photospheres - PhD Thesis
The interpretation of detailed spectroscopic observations of late‐type stars reveals inconsistencies that are likely due to inadequacies of the underlying...
Surface layer characterization at Paranal Observatory
In this paper the Paranal Surface Layer characterization is presented. Causes, physics and behavior of the SL above Paranal surface are discussed. The analysis...
In its most general acceptation, surface photometry is a technique applicable to any "extended" object, irrespective of the spectral band of the observational...
