The modern synthetic tracking technique (ST) can make use of small and medium-sized telescopes to detect asteroids fainter than the classic blinking methods, by arbitrary shifting and co-adding more images of the same survey field, if GPU computing resources are available. In the framework of the Romanian ParaSOL project, we developed and tested an

Hexa(ethylhexyl)-hexa-(peri)-hexabenzocoronene (HEH-HBC) was selected as model compound of asphaltenes. In fact, in the “island” model the asphaltenes are described with a relatively large aromatic core surrounded by aliphatic chains attached to the edges of the core. In their turn the asphaltenes are considered model compounds of MAONs (Mixed

Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary population synthesis models with different input physics are used for this purpose. Moreover, the contribution from the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stellar phase, which peaks

To investigate the impact of winds and jets with a low to moderate power on the cold molecular gas reservoirs of active galactic nuclei (AGN), we present observations with a high angular resolution with ALMA CO(2–1) and CO(3–2) of a sample of six type 2 quasars (QSO2s) at z ∼ 0.1 from the quasar feedback (QSOFEED) sample. We used spatially resolved

The critical need to study the magnetic field in the solar corona is highlighted by recent observational facilities, such as the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and Aditya-L1. A powerful tool for probing the magnetism of the solar corona is forward modeling of the intensity and polarization of coronal emission lines in three-dimensional (3D)

Context. Spatially resolved maps of stellar populations and nebular emission are key tools for understanding the physical properties and evolutionary stages of galaxies. These maps are commonly derived from integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data or, alternatively, from multiband imaging techniques. Aims. We aim to characterize the spatially
