A brief description is given of the IMAGE-1 software package for the presentation and evaluation of digitized images at the Osservatorio Astronomico di Trieste...
A Sounding Rocket Experiment for Spectropolarimetric Observations with the Lyα Line at 121.6 nm (CLASP)
A team consisting of Japan, USA, Spain, and Norway is developing a high-throughput Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP), which is proposed to...
A special mentoring program for Master's students in astrophysics promoting DEI
In the pursuit of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the field of Astrophysics and High Energy Physics, a group of young researchers at the...
A spectral atlas of Landolt stars for a reliable mid-IR spectrophotometric calibration for large telescopes
It is often stated that there is no point in obtaining mid-infrared data with S/N>20, even in the best of cases, because it is impossible to obtain a...
A Spectral Diagnostic for Density-Bounded HII Regions
Our spectral diagnostic based on the intensity of the [OI]λ6300Å line indicates that many observed HII regions are indeed density-bounded. The estimated...
A spectrophotometric study of the peculiar young open cluster Berkeley 87
A spectrophotometric study of the peculiar open cluster Berkeley 87 is presented; the measurements show that most of the members are young, heavily reddened OB...
A spectroscopic analysis of the Trapezium Cluster stars
We consider the Orion Nebula (M 42) within a project aimed at studying the interaction between massive stars and their surrounding ISM. This is an HII region...
