The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter: CLASP
The magnetic field plays a crucial role in the chromosphere and the transition region, and our poor empirical knowledge of the magnetic field in the upper...
The circumburst density profile around GRB progenitors
Observational and theoretical evidence suggest that long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the collapse of massive stars, while short bursts are caused by...
We present results from near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of the circumnuclear starburst in M83, using the CIRPASS instrument on Gemini South. The...
The classification of doubly periodic minimal tori with parallel ends
Let $mathcal{K}$ be the space of properly embedded minimal tori in quotients of $R^3$ by two independent translations, with any fixed (even) number of parallel...
The close binary system epsilon Lupi (Uytterhoeven, 2005)
We subjected 106 new high-resolution spectra of the double-lined spectroscopic close binary epsilon Lupi, obtained in a time-span of 17 days from two different...
The Clustering of Quasars at Redshift 2.5 from the Final SDSS-III/BOSS Sample
Measuring the mass of the dark matter halos that host quasars is a critical question in the field of galaxy evolution. Estimates of how the mean mass of the...
The near-UV NH3360 feature has been measured in a sample of 35 early-type galaxies spanning a wide range of masses and environments. We found that, contrary to...
The CODEX-ESPRESSO experiment: Cosmic dynamics, fundamental physics, planets and much more...
CODEX, a high resolution, super-stable spectrograph to be fed by the E-ELT, the most powerful telescope ever conceived, will for the first time provide the...
