    VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. II. Evidence for shock ionization caused by tidal forces in the extra-nuclear regions of interacting and merging LIRGs
    Context. Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) are an important class of objects in the low-z universe bridging the gap between normal spirals and the strongly interacting and starbursting ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). Since a large fraction of the stars in the Universe have been formed in these objects, LIRGs are also relevant in a high-z

    VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way
    We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey will take 1929 h of observations with the 4-m VISTA telescope during 5 years (2010-2014), covering ˜109 point sources across an area of 520 deg2, including 33 known

    Very low mass stars in Praesepe (Boudreault+, 2010)
    The near-infrared (NIR) observations were made on the 3.5m telescope at Calar Alto, Spain (with observation runs of several nights from February 2005 to January 2007). The optical observations were carried out with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope at La Silla, Chile during 17-22 March 2007. (2 data files).

    Utilization of redundant polarized solar spectra to infer the polarization properties of the new generation of large aperture solar telescopes
    Spectro-polarimetry plays an important role in the study of solar magnetism and strongly influences the design of the new generation of solar telescopes. Calibration of the polarization properties of the telescope is a critical requirement needed to use these observations to infer solar magnetic fields. However, the large apertures of these new

    Unveiling the Origin of Grb 090709A: Lack of Periodicity in a Reddened Cosmological Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst
    We present broadband (gamma-ray, X-ray, near-infrared, optical, and radio) observations of the Swift gamma-ray burst (GRB) 090709A and its afterglow in an effort to ascertain the origin of this high-energy transient. Previous analyses suggested that GRB 090709A exhibited quasi-periodic oscillations with a period of 8.06 s, a trait unknown in long

    Ultrastable operation of detectors for high-resolution spectrographs
    High resolution spectroscopy demands detector operation in an extremely stable mechanical and thermal environment; any tiny perturbation may affect the location of the detected spectral lines, affecting the instrument global performance. The detector stability has been identified currently as one of the limiting factors to improve radial velocity
