The fraction of ionized gas in the warm-hot intergalactic medium induces temperature anisotropies on the cosmic microwave background similar to those of clusters of galaxies. The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) anisotropies due to these low-density, weakly non-linear, baryon filaments cannot be distinguished from that of clusters using frequency

The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP) is a VUV spectropolarimeter optimized for measuring the linear polarization of the Lyman-alpha line (121.6 nm). The Lyman-alpha line is predicted to show linear polarization caused by atomic scattering in the chromosphere and modified by the magnetic field through the Hanle effect. The Hanle

ARMENCITA, the CARMENES Cool star Information and daTa Archive, is the M-dwarf database from where we will choose our best target sample. As part of our guaranteed time observations, about 300 late-type M dwarfs will be monitored by CARMENES from Calar Alto during over 600 nights. CARMENCITA currently catalogues over 2000 carefully-selected M

We summarise our on-going project aimed at calibrating the metallicity of M dwarfs. We have selected a large sample of physical binaries composed of an F-, G- or K-dwarf primary and an M-dwarf secondary. High-resolution spectra of the primary components are being analysed in order to determine, in a uniform way, accurate atmospheric parameters

We present orbit-based dynamical models and stellar population analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey J151741.75-004217.6, a low-redshift (z = 0.116) early-type galaxy (ETG) which, for its moderate luminosity, has an exceptionally high velocity dispersion. We aim to determine the central black hole (BH) mass (M•), the i-band stellar mass-to-light

The candidate SX Phe star KIC 11754974 shows a remarkably high number of combination frequencies in the Fourier amplitude spectrum: 123 of the 166 frequencies in our multifrequency fit are linear combinations of independent modes. Predictable patterns in frequency spacings are seen in the Fourier transform of the light curve. We present an analysis
