The magnetic sensitivity of the Mg II k line to the joint action of Hanle, Zeeman and magneto-optical effects
The polarization of the Mg II k line at 279.5 nm encodes valuable information on the magnetic field of the upper solar chromosphere, where this strong resonance...
The formation and evolution of the disk of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, remains an enigma in astronomy. In particular, the relationship between the thick disk and...
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the members of three previously cataloged compact group (CG) candidatesat redshifts $z>0.3$. These...
The effects that interactions produce on galaxy disks and how they modify the subsequent formation of bars need to be distinguished to fully understand the...
2MASS J20395358+4222505 is an obscured early B supergiant near the massive OB star association Cyg OB2. Despite its bright infrared magnitude (Ks= 5.82) it has...
THE NATURE OF GROWING BULGES WITHIN Z < 1.3 GALAXY DISKS IN THE GOODS-N FIELD.
The ideas on the formation history of disk galaxy bulges can beconfronted with direct observations of high redshift bulge precursors. Of vital importance is the...
The nuclear dust lane of Circinus: collimation without a torus
In some AGN, nuclear dust lanes connected to kpc-scale dust structures provide all the extinction required to obscure the nucleus, challenging the role of the...
The observations of the Moon Eclipses help to find new Earths.
Una novedosa técnica permite a un grupo de investigadores del IAC analizar por primera vez la atmósfera de la Tierra a través de un eclipse lunar El estudio...
