The GaLAxy Cluster Evolution survey (GLACE): introduction and first results
Aimed at understanding the evolution of galaxies in clusters, the GLACE survey is mapping a set of optical lines ([OII]3727, [OIII]5007, Hβ and Hα/[NII] when...
The GaLAxy Cluster Evolution Survey (GLACE): overview and status report
Aimed at understanding the evolution of galaxies in clusters, the GLACE survey is mapping a set of key optical lines in several galaxy clusters at z~0.40, 0.63...
The Galaxy-wide IMF - from Star Clusters to Galaxies
Over the past years observations of young and populous star clusters have shown that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) can be conveniently described by a...
RX J1211+2242 is an optically faint (B ≃ 19.2 mag) but X-ray bright (f2 - 10 keV = 5 × 10-12 erg cm-2 s-1) AGN, which has been shown to be a BL Lac object at...
The Gamow Explorer: a Gamma-Ray Burst Observatory to study the high redshift universe and enable multi-messenger astrophysics
The Gamow Explorer will use Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) to: 1) probe the high redshift universe (z < 6) when the first stars were born, galaxies formed and Hydrogen...
As part of the GTC Control System (GCS) a data processing package is being developed. We will describe the perfomance of the Data Processing Kit (DPK), using...
The Generation and Transfer of Polarized Radiation in Stellar Atmospheres
The standard Non-LTE problem consists in calculating the atomic level populations that are consistent with the intensity of the radiation field generated within...
