EMIR is a wide-field, near-IR spectrograph currently under development for the Nasmyth focus of the Spanish 10.4m GTC at Canary Islands. EMIR will provide...
Far-infrared constraints on the contamination by dust-obscured galaxies of high-z dropout searches
The spectral energy distributions (SED) of dusty galaxies at intermediate redshift may look similar to very high-redshift galaxies in the optical/near infrared...
Fast Multipole Method for Gravitational Lensing: Application to High-magnification Quasar Microlensing
We introduce the use of the fast multipole method (FMM) to speed up gravitational lensing ray tracing calculations. The method allows very fast calculation of...
First Assessment of the Binary Lens OGLE-2015-BLG-0232
We present an analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0232. This event is challenging to characterize for two reasons. First, the light curve is not...
First black hole mass estimation for the quadruple lensed system WGD2038-4008
Context. The quadruple lensed system WGD2038-4008 (z s = 0.777 ± 0.001) has recently been discovered with the help of new techniques and observations. Black...
First Direct Evidence for Keplerian Rotation in Quasar Inner Broad-line Regions
We introduce a novel method to derive rotation curves with light-day spatial resolution of the inner regions of lensed quasars. We aim to probe the kinematics...
First tentative detection of anisotropy in the QSO distribution around nearby edge-on spiral galaxies
Aims:To check whether the polar angle distribution of QSOs around nearby spiral galaxies is isotropic or not. Methods: A statistical analysis of the polar angle...
Four sub-Jovian-mass planets detected by high-cadence microlensing surveys
Aims: With the aim of finding short-term planetary signals, we investigated the data collected from current high-cadence microlensing surveys. Methods: From...
Full orbital solution for the binary system in the northern Galactic disc microlensing event Gaia16aye
Gaia16aye was a binary microlensing event discovered in the direction towards the northern Galactic disc and was one of the first microlensing events detected...
