Descripción
We have conducted a systematic search for stellar disk truncations in disklike galaxies at intermediate redshift (z<1.1) using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field data. We use the position of the truncation as a direct estimator of the size of the stellar disk. After accounting for the surface brightness evolution of the galaxies, our results suggest that the radial position of the truncations has increased with cosmic time by ~1-3 kpc in the last ~8 Gyr. This result indicates a small to moderate (~25%) inside-out growth of the disk galaxies since z~1.

    Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) observables of simulated plasmoid-mediated reconnection in the solar corona
    Context. Understanding the role of magnetic reconnection in the heating and dynamics of the solar atmosphere requires detailed observational data of any observable aspect of the reconnection process, including small-scale features such as plasmoids. Aims: Here, we examine the capability of active and upcoming instruments to detect plasmoids

    Combining magneto-hydrostatic constraints with Stokes profile inversions. IV. Imposing ∇⋅B = 0 condition
    Context. Inferences of the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere by means of spectropolarimetric inversions (i.e., Stokes inversion codes) yield magnetic fields that are non-solenoidal (∇ ⋅ B ≠ 0). Because of this, results obtained by such methods are sometimes put into question. Aims: We aim to develop and implement a new technique that, in

    Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal). I. The formation and evolution of the thin disc from the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
    Context. The study of the Milky Way is living a golden era thanks to the enormous high-quality datasets delivered by Gaia, and space asteroseismic and ground-based spectroscopic surveys. However, the current major challenge to reconstructing the chronology of the Milky Way is the difficulty to derive precise stellar ages for large samples of stars
