Using the WHT and INT until and during the WEAVE years
An exciting series of changes are taking place at the venerable WHT and INT on La Palma. WEAVE, the next generation multi-fibre spectrograph is being completed...
Variability surveys from today to future extremely large telescopes
I will make an overview of the classical pulsating variable stars (i.e. SX Phoenicis, RR Lyrae, Anomalous Cepheids, Classical Cepheids) in our Local Group and...
Vertical magnetic field on the boundary of an evolving pore
Jurčák criterion states that umbra-penumbra boundaries are defined by a constant vertical magnetic field in stable sunspots. In this seminar I will talk about...
Very Low Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs and Gas Giant Exoplanets
Understanding the atmospheric and evolutive properties of very low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and gas giant exoplanets have been important challenges for...
Virtual Observatory Science and the ARCHES project
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is an international astronomical community-based initiative. It aims at providing easy and efficient access and analysis of the...
VO Tools: an overview on Virtual Observatory tools
The Virtual Observatory is an international initiative on standardizing astronomical data and protocols, as well as the development of scientific tools...
Observational studies show that voids are prominent features of the large scale structure of the present day Universe. Even though their emerging from the...
Warps of disk galaxies are ubiquitous. In almost every disk galaxy a bending of the disk occurs where the stars fade away and hence where the dark matter halo...
Wavefront Reconstruction from Noisy Observations via Sparse Coding
Many images (and signals) admit sparse representations in the sense that they are well approximated by linear combinations of a small number of functions taken...
