A sample of active galaxies and quasars was observed with a photon-counting detector (IPCS) working in time-resolved imaging mode. The observing and data...
High-Resolution Imaging of Stars, Dust, and Star Formation in Nuclear Rings in Galaxies
Nuclear rings in barred spiral galaxies offer an opportunity to study starburst properties, as well as the evolution of star formation in the central regions of...
High-resolution imaging of the multiphase AGN-driven outflow of NGC1068
We analyze Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the CO(6-5) molecular line and the 432 μm continuum emission from the circumnuclear disk (CND)...
High-resolution NIR imaging of circumnuclear regions in barred galaxies
The circumnuclear regions of some barred galaxies show strong bursts of star formation organized into miniature spiral arms or rings. Recent work has shown the...
High-resolution observations of interstellar NA I and K I absorptions towards giants within 200 PC from the sun
The first results of a program of observations designed to probe the structure and kinematics of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) using the Queen's...
Sunrise is a solar telescope with an aperture of 1 m, and is dedicated for spectropolarimetric measurements in the visible and the near UV. The total wavelength...
Sunrise is a 1m balloon-borne solar telescope. It is equipped with a spectrograph polarimeter which combines vector-polarimetry in the visible with diagnostic...
High-resolution Spectroscopy of Faint Stars with Transiting Planets
We present a series of studies based on high-resolution UVES/VLT spectroscopy of several faint stars for which a transit by a giant planet has been detected...
