X-ray transients provide the best evidence for the existence of stellar-mass BHs, with 20 confirmed cases based on dynamical studies. However, these are only...
Soft X-ray transients (SXTs) provide the best evidence for the existence of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) with almost 20 confirmed systems based on dynamical...
Unveiling stellar magnetic activity using CoRoT seismic observations
It is well known that in the Sun, the frequencies and amplitudes of acoustic modes vary throughout the solar cycle. Indeed, while the magnetic activity goes...
Unveiling structures in the evolution of magnetic activity of solar-like stars
The magnetic and rotational properties of solar-like stars are strongly coupled due to the interaction of rotation and convection in their outer envelopes...
Unveiling the central kpc of Type I AGN host galaxies in seeing-limited IFS data
The evolution of galaxies appears linked to the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBH), as evidenced by empirical scale relations between hosts' large-scale...
Unveiling the sources of disk heating in spiral galaxies with the CALIFA survey
The stellar velocity ellipsoid (SVE) quantifies the amount of velocity dispersion in the vertical, radial and azimuthal directions. Since different disk heating...
Unveiling the Structure of the Planetary Nebula M2-48
The PN M2-48 is formed by three main structures, namely, a bipolar central region (CR), a set of knots tracing a semicircular shell surrounding CR, and two...
