Microlensing-based search for extragalactic MACHOs
In this talk we first make a review on gravitational lensing and microlensing as an introduction, followed by a discussion on the most recent work of our group...
Mining the gap; understanding galaxy formation using the luminosity gap
Majority of galaxies reside in groups and clusters where they are understood to evolve also through galaxy-galaxy interactions. Multiple mergers at the core of...
By the time, in 1937, the Zwicky measured the velocity dispersion of the Coma cluster, astronomers somehow got acquainted with the idea that the universe is...
MOSAIC is the proposed visible and near-infrared multi-object spectrograph (MOS) for ESO’s forthcoming ELT. The instrument is currently in the initial project...
Multi-wavelength observations of High Mass X-Ray Binary Systems
High Mas X-ray Binary Systems are important sources of information for many astrophysical fields of research. They are composed by a compact object (black hole...
Multiple Stellar Populations & Horizontal Branch Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters: firm evidence, (apparent) anomalies and current shortcomings
Since the early 50' of last century the study of Horizontal Branch stars in Galactic GCs has been of pivotal relevance since the core He-burning stage is an...
Multiple Stellar Populations in Galactic Globular Clusters: updated empirical evidence and the theoretical framework
In recent years accurate photometric and spectroscopic observations have provided sound evidence that Galactic Globular Clusters can not be longer considered...
Muscat2, a new instrument for the Carlos Sanchez Telescope
We present Muscat2, the new instrument recently installed at the Carlo Sanchez Telescope located in the Teide Observatory. Muscat2 is an imager equipped with...
