    Near-infrared spectroscopy in NGC 7538
    Aims: The characterisation of the stellar population in young high-mass star-forming regions allows fundamental cluster properties like distance and age to be...

    Near-infrared study of the stellar population of Sh2-152
    Context. The discovery of new massive star clusters and massive stellar populations in previously known clusters in our Galaxy by means of infrared studies has...

    Near-IR narrow-band imaging with CIRCE at the Gran Telescopio Canarias: Searching for Lyα-emitters at z ∼ 9.3
    Context. Identifying very high-redshift galaxies is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, many questions still remain, and...

    Near-IR spectra of inner red giants (Gonzalez-Fernandez+, 2008)
    From the equivalent widths of the main features of the K band spectra (the NaI, CaI and CO bandheads) we have derived the metallicities of the sources by means...

    NEOWISE Observations of Near-Earth Objects: Preliminary Results
    With the NEOWISE portion of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO)...
  • Publication
    Neutron decay anomaly, neutron stars, and dark matter
    The discrepancies in different measurements of the lifetime of isolated neutrons could be resolved by considering an extra neutron decay channel into dark...

    Neutron-capture element abundances in the planetary nebula NGC 5315 from deep optical and near-infrared spectrophotometry★†
    We analyse the chemical composition of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 5315, through high-resolution (R ∼ 40000) optical spectroscopy with Ultraviolet-Visual...

    Neutron-capture Elements in Planetary Nebulae: First Detections of Near-infrared [Te III] and [Br V] Emission Lines
    We have identified two new near-infrared (NIR) emission lines in the spectra of planetary nebulae arising from heavy elements produced by neutron-capture...

    New data about two distant asteroids give a clue to the possible “Planet Nine”
    The dynamical properties of these asteroids, observed spectroscopiccally for the first time using the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC), suggest a possible common...
