Here we present our determination of the black hole - mass function for spiral galaxies in our local universe. We have established our black hole - mass...

We present a new photometric analysis of the Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822 based on archival Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys...

A method to explore the column density of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) using absorptions in the resonance H and K lines of Mg II. The intrinsic...

High resolution observations of interstellar Na I absorptions in the spectra of early-type stars in the second Galactic quadrant have been used to derive the...

Observations of a broad area at the core of M82, obtained with spatial resolution 30 arcsec and velocity resolution 15.6 km/sec in the J = 2-1 line of CO using...

Recent GLIMPSE data analysed by Benjamin et al. (2005) have further confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of an in-plane long bar that is different from the...

Our Galaxy seems to own, in addition with the oblate outer bulge (see poster of Picaud, Chereul and Robin) a longer and thiner in-plane bar (Lopez Carredoira...

We describe the Long Wavelength Array (LWA), a ground-based radio interferometer capable of serving as a coronal mass ejection (CME) detector. Previous low...

The question whether stellar bars are either transitory features or long-lived structures is still matter of debate. This problem is more acute for double...
