Numerical test of a new v-profile inversion technique
The diagnostic method proposed by Landi Degl'Innocenti and Landolfi (1982), based on the observation of circular polarization, has been generalized to derive...
OASIS high-resolution integral field spectroscopy of the SAURON ellipticals and lenticulars
We present a summary of high-spatial resolution follow-up observations of the elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies in the SAURON survey using the OASIS...
Stellar rotation, parameterized by a star's projected rotational velocity v sin i, is a fundamental parameter linked to star formation, evolution, and dynamical...
From observations taken with the Wide Field Camera (WFC) at the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), we have built an astrometric and photometric catalogue of stars in...
We studied the nuclear obscuration of galaxies hosting Low Ionization Narrow Emission Regions (LINERs) based on their X-ray and optical emission. X-ray data...
Obscured stellar clusters and nuclear activity in seyfert galaxies
Starbursts and AGNs are frequently coupled in the central kiloparsecs of seyfert galaxies, where molecular gas plays a critical role in fueling nuclear...
