Wave propagation through sunspots involves conversion between waves of acoustic and magnetic character. In addition, the thermal structure of sunspots is very different than that of the quiet Sun. As a consequence, the interpretation of local helioseismic measurements of sunspots has long been a challenge. With the aim of understanding these

Selecting sources with rising flux densities towards longer wavelengths from Herschel/Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) maps is an efficient way to produce a catalogue rich in high-redshift (z > 4) dusty star-forming galaxies. The effectiveness of this approach has already been confirmed by spectroscopic follow-up observations, but

The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) has identified large numbers of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) over a wide range in redshift. A detailed understanding of these DSFGs is hampered by the limited spatial resolution of Herschel. We present 870 μm 0.″45 resolution imaging obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter

We present a detailed clustering analysis of the young stellar population across the star-forming ring galaxy NGC 6503, based on the deep Hubble Space Telescope photometry obtained with the Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey. We apply a contour-based map analysis technique and identify in the stellar surface density map 244 distinct star-forming

The techniques and some preliminary results on the study of the luminosity function (LF) of Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) through gravitational lensing (GL) are presented. Clusters of galaxies, with suitably modeled gravitational lenses, are observed using the tunable filters (TF) of the instrument OSIRIS at the GTC. The combination GLs, and the

We present high spatial resolution SEDs, on the scales of a few tens of parsec, of some of the nearest and most well known, radio-quiet AGN. The new SEDs are found to largely depart, in shape and bolometric luminosity, from those compiled from large aperture IR satellite data. Type 1 and 2 radio quiet AGN can clearly be identified by the overall
