    Discovery of a Dynamical Cold Point in the Heart of the Sagittarius dSph Galaxy with Observations from the APOGEE Project
    The dynamics of the core of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy are explored using high-resolution (R ~ 22, 500), H-band, near-infrared spectra of over 1000 giant stars in the central 3 deg2 of the system, of which 328 are identified as Sgr members. These data, among some of the earliest observations from the Sloan Digital Sky

    CoRoT: Harvest of the exoplanet program
    One of the objectives of the CoRoT mission is the search for transiting extrasolar planets using high-precision photometry, and the accurate characterization of their fundamental parameters. The CoRoT satellite consecutively observes crowded stellar fields since February 2007, in high-cadence precise photometry; periodic eclipses are detected and

    Calibrations of Atmospheric Parameters Obtained from the First Year of SDSS-III APOGEE Observations
    The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a three-year survey that is collecting 105 high-resolution spectra in the near-IR across multiple Galactic populations. To derive stellar parameters and chemical compositions from this massive data set, the APOGEE Stellar Parameters and

    An in-depth study of HD 174966 with CoRoT photometry and HARPS spectroscopy. Large separation as a new observable for δ Scuti stars
    Aims: The aim of this work was to use a multi-approach technique to derive the most accurate values possible of the physical parameters of the δ Sct star HD 174966, which was observed with the CoRoT satellite. In addition, we searched for a periodic pattern in the frequency spectra with the goal of using it to determine the mean density of the star

    SEARCH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GALAXIES WITH THE LOWEST METALLICITY
    Según la teoría de formación de galaxias, estas se formaron jerárquicamente, es decir, las galaxias grandes se formaron a través de la unión de las más pequeñas. Este proceso es ineficiente, por lo que deja muchas galaxias enanas como remanente. Estos restos parecen ser las galaxias extremadamente pobres en metales (XMP de sus siglas en inglés)

    X-Ray Nuclear Activity in S4G Barred Galaxies: No Link between Bar Strength and Co-occurrent Supermassive Black Hole Fueling
    Stellar bars can lead to gas inflow toward the center of a galaxy and stimulate nuclear star formation. However, there is no compelling evidence on whether they also feed a central supermassive black hole: by measuring the fractions of barred active and inactive galaxies, previous studies have yielded conflicting results. In this paper, we aim to
