Descripción
LINERs have been a class of low-luminosity AGN difficult to explain under the unified model. It has been claimed (González-Martín et al. 2009b) that a high percentage of them are obscured sources. Mid-infrared high spatial resolution data will bring us the oportunity to study the obscuration of these intringuing sources. However, these observations have been challenging due to the faintness of the sources and the inclusion of circumnuclear emission. Here, we investigate the great potential of the new instrument CanariCam at GTC. With a preliminary sample of LINERs observed with VISIR at VLT and T-ReCs at GEMINI we have obtained that LINERs fit into the relation claimed by Asmus et al. (2011) for AGNs.

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky
