We propose to complete our program of optical imaging of a sample of candidate strong-lensing galaxies discovered in the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) that was started in GS-2013B-Q-77 ( 80% complete). All of the targets in this proposal have exquisite, high-S/N and high-spatial resolution sub-mm imaging from ALMA that

Turbulence and magnetic fields are expected to be important for regulating molecular cloud formation and evolution. However, their effects on sub-parsec to 100 parsec scales, leading to the formation of starless cores, are not well understood. We investigate the prestellar core structure morphologies obtained from analysis of the Herschel-SPIRE 350

EMIR is the NIR imager and multiobject spectrograph being built as a common user instrument for the 10-m class GTC. Big cryogenic instruments demand a reliable design and a specific hardware and software to increase its safety and productivity. EMIR vacuum, cooling and heating systems are monitored and partially controlled by a Programmable Logic

AOLI, Adaptive Optics Lucky Imager, is the next generation of extremely high resolution instruments in the optical range, combining the two more promising techniques: Adaptive optics and lucky imaging. The possibility of reaching fainter objects at maximum resolution implies a better use of weak energy on each lucky image. AOLI aims to achieve this

A C60 fullerene/tetracene adduct was synthesized and studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy. Essentially the mono-adduct was obtained as suggested by the spectroscopic analysis and by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The stability and the retro Diels-Alder reaction of the C60/tetracene adduct was studied by TGA

One of the most important features in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the variability of their emission. Variability has been discovered at X-ray, UV, and radio frequencies on time scales from hours to years. Among the AGN family and according to theoretical studies, Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission Line Region (LINER) nuclei would be variable
