Rapid Temporal Survey (RaTS) - the search for ultra compact binaries
Ultra Compact Binaries are predicted to be the strongest known sources of gravitational waves in the LISA pass-band. Since they are at the short period end of...
Rare dusty galaxies in the early Universe: Herschel unveils extreme star-formation
Over the past ~20 years the high-redshift Universe has been increasingly opened to scrutiny at far-infrared wavelengths, where cool dust emission from star...
Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the smallest, closest and most abundant galaxies in the Universe and therefore excellent laboratories to study star...
One of the most widely researched topics in Extragalactic Astrophysics in the last decades is how early-type galaxies have formed their stars and assembled. In...
Reconstructing the stellar mass distributions of nearby galaxies using S4G IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron images
With imaging at 3.6 and 4.5 microns where the light in nearby galaxies is dominated by old stars, the Spitzer Survey of Nearby Galaxies (S4G) stands poised for...
Recovering lenticular galaxies past histories using planetary nebulae kinematics: the case of NGC1023
We present a detailed study of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023 kinematics. To perform this analysis we use planetary nebulae (PNe). which can be observed in the...
En los últimos meses se ha ido renovando paulatinamente la mayoría de recursos de Supercomputación disponibles en el IAC. De esta forma, en septiembre se...
