Searching for the Alpha-Abundance Bimodality in the M31 Disk
The recent era of large, ground-based abundance surveys has unraveled the chemical structures of our Milky Way galaxy. The most striking abundance feature is...
Searching for the carrier of the Anomalous Microwave Emission with GTC
Several recent experiments have shown evidence for the existence of a new microwave emission process in our Galaxy (in the range 10-60 GHz) that may affect the...
Searching for the First Galaxies through Gravitational Lenses
Observing the first galaxies formed during the reionisation epoch, i.e. approximately within the first billion years after the Big Bang, remains one of the...
Searching for the secondary eclipse of CoRoT-Exo-2b and its transit timing variations
With more than 80 transits observed in the CoRoT lightcurve with a cadence of 32 s, CoRoT-Exo-2b provides an excellent case to search for the secondary eclipse...
Searching for the Signatures of Jet-ISM Interactions in X-ray Binaries
Jets from X-ray binaries are continuously injecting matter and energy into the surrounding interstellar medium. However, there exist to date relatively few...
Searching for the Signatures of Terrestrial Planets in ``Hot'' Analogs
The Sun has been suggested to have a slightly low refractory-to-volatile abundance ratio when compared with field solar twins. This result may be interpreted as...
