We present the Young Exoplanet Transit Initiative (YETI), in which we use several 0.2 to 2.6-m telescopes around the world to monitor continuously young (≤100...
Towards universal hybrid star formation rate estimators
Context. To compute the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies from the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV), it is essential to take the obscuration by dust into account...
Tracing the Evolution of Dust Obscured Star Formation and Accretion Back to the Reionisation Epoch with SPICA
Our current knowledge of star formation and accretion luminosity at high redshift (z > 3-4), as well as the possible connections between them, relies mostly on...
Triggered star formation in a merging, gas-rich dwarf galaxy around NGC 7241
Using multiwavelength kinematic and photometric data we have analysed the gaseous and stellar properties of a previously uncharacterized low-mass star-forming...
Triggered star formation on the borders of H II regions
The formation of massive stars is not fully understood. The high luminosity and temperature of massive protostars complicate the accretion mechanism at work in...
Ultracool Subdwarfs: The Halo Population Down to the Substellar Limit
Ultracool subdwarfs are low luminosity, late-type M and L dwarfs that exhibit spectroscopic indications of subsolar metallicity and halo kinematics. Their...
Un equipo internacional de astrónomos ha descubierto que las galaxias con núcleos activos, es decir, aquellas cuyo agujero negro central está en continuo...
Un caos magnético escondido en la galaxia del Remolino
En lo más profundo de la estructura espiral de las galaxias hay una fuerza escondida: los campos magnéticos. Pese a ser invisibles a los telescopios...
Unbiased Large Spectroscopic Surveys of Galaxies Selected by SPICA Using Dust Bands
The mid-infrared range contains many spectral features associated with large molecules and dust grains such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and silicates...
