The energy budget of all known optical jets is discussed. It is found that to power the extended radio lobes of radio galaxies, the jet bulk motion on kpc...
The optical morphological and photometric properties of 79 low redshift radio galaxies are discussed. It is found that most radio galaxies are luminous bulge...
Optical synchrotron emission and particle acceleration in radio hot spots
We discuss, in terms of particle acceleration, the results from optical observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope aimed at the detection of the optical...
Oxygen abundances derived in unevolved very metal-poor stars
Oxygen abundances have been derived in a sample of very metal-poor stars from observations of the Oi triplet at /λλ 7771-5 Å and OH lines in the near UV. Iron...
Paving the way to simultaneous multi-wavelength astronomy
Whilst astronomy as a science is historically founded on observations at optical wavelengths, studying the Universe in other bands has yielded remarkable...
We examine the isotope production in star forming regions through a model of stellar-group population synthesis evolution. From this we obtain the light-curves...
Site properties of the Canarian observatories. Proceedings. Workshop on Site Properties of the Canarian Observatories, La Palma (Spain), 29 - 30 Oct 1997.
The following topics were dealt with: atmospheric optics, image quality, the Gran Telescopio Canarias project, site testing, meteorological effects, the Galileo...
