Physical Scenarios for Supersonic Gas Flows Observed in H II Regions
Line profiles in ensuremath {{H}alpha } emission from H II region populations in spiral galaxies show emission features at +/-50 km/s from the main emission...
Pierced mirrors are used in high resolution and ultrastable spectrographs to feed guiding cameras and to improve the target stability. This paper describes the...
FRIDA imager and integral-field spectrograph will provide the GTC community with the first diffraction-limited angular resolutions of a 10 m telescope: 25 - 40...
Piston detection of a segmented mirror telescope using a curvature sensor: preliminary results with numerical simulations
Segments alignment is one of the fundamental factors affecting the shape of the PSF of a segmented mirror telescope. Tilt and piston of each segment must be...
We present the pitch angles of several galaxies that have been artificially redshifted using Barden et al’s FERENGI software. The (central black hole mass)-...
Planck intermediate results. XXI. Comparison of polarized thermal emission from Galactic dust at 353 GHz with optical interstellar polarization
The Planck survey provides unprecedented full-sky coverage of the submillimetre polarized emission from Galactic dust, bringing new constraints on the...
Planck-LFI: Instrument Design and Ground Calibration Strategy
The ESA Planck satellite is designed to achieve precision imaging of the Cosmic Microwave Background with an unprecedented combination of angular resolution...
