M43, the little sister of the Orion Nebula
We have selected the Galactic HII region M43, a close-by apparently spherical nebula ionized by a single star (HD37061, B0.5V) to investigate several topics of...
MAGIC observations and multiwavelength properties of the quasar 3C 279 in 2007 and 2009
3C 279, the first quasar discovered to emit VHE gamma-rays by the MAGIC telescope in 2006, was re-observed by MAGIC in January 2007 during a major optical flare...
Mass, age and metallicity of the central star of the multiple system HR8799
The multiple system HR8799 was the first multiple system discovered using direct imaging. In addition, this system has a debris disk with two rings, the central...
Matter under extreme conditions and Heavy Ion Colliders
According to Quantum Chromodynamics, which is the well established theory of strong interactions, quark and gluons are forced to live inside hadrons because of...
An astrophysical black hole is completely described with just two parameters: its mass and its dimensionless spin. A few dozen black holes have mass estimates...
Optical and NIR studies of short period low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB)
I present some recent results from our Optical and NIR studies of five short period low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB's; X1822-371, X1957+115, UW CrB, X1916-05 and...
Parker spontaneous current-sheets in topologically untwisted magnetic fields
A continuous magnetic field evolving under the hydromagnetic frozen-in condition preserves its field topology. Depending on that field topology, the evolving...
