We have performed power spectral analysis of surface temperatures, velocities, and magnetic fields, using spectropolarimetric data taken with the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope. When we make power spectra in a field of view covering the supergranular scale, kinetic and thermal power spectra have a prominent peak at the granular scale while the

Esta tesis doctoral se centra en la búqueda y caracterización de enanas marrones (cuerpos celestes con ~13-75 veces la masa de Júpiter, MJup) y objetos aislados de masa planetaria (con masas por debajo del límite de combustión del deuterio a ~13MJup) en las regiones de formación estelar Sigma Orionis (~3 Ma) y Upper Scorpio (~5 Ma). En el cúmulo

In order to fully understand the gravitational collapse of molecular clouds, the star formation process, and the evolution of circumstellar disks, these phenomena must be studied in different Galactic environments with a range of stellar contents and positions in the Galaxy. The young massive association Cygnus OB2, in the Cygnus-X region, is a

We present 187 high-resolution spectra for 62 different M1 dwarfs from observations obtained with the FIbre-fed Echelle Spectrograph (FIES) on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) and from observations with the Fibre-fed Extended Range Echelle Spectrograph (FEROS) from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) data base. We also compiled other

We present a new grid of model photospheres for the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey of stellar populations of the Galaxy, calculated using the ATLAS9 and MARCS codes. New opacity distribution functions were generated to calculate ATLAS9 model photospheres. MARCS models were calculated based on opacity sampling techniques. The metallicity ([M/H]) spans from
