We report on a near-infrared adaptive optics imaging survey of 31 young brown dwarfs and very low mass (VLM) stars, 28 of which are in the Chamaeleon I star-forming region, using the ESO Very Large Telescope. We resolve the suspected 0.16'' (~26 AU) binary Cha Hα 2 and present two new binaries, Hn 13 and CHXR 15, with separations of 0.13'' (~20 AU)

SPACE (SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer) is a class-M mission proposed to ESA for the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 call and recently promoted to the next assessment study phase. SPACE will produce the first all-sky spectroscopic survey of the Universe, taking spectra of more than 500 million galaxies over a wide range of redshifts. SPACE will

This work presents a low resolution spectroscopic data analisis of HII regions in the magellanic clouds. Nineteen nights of data over five observing seasons were analyzed to obtain the spectrums of planetary nebulae,supernova remnants, single star shells, bubbles, superbubbles and the interstellar medium. This investigation is part of the more

In this work we discuss the detection of Ly-α emitters (LAEs) through the gravitational amplification effect due to the mass in the core of the cluster of galaxies MS~2053.7-0449. We modeled the cluster using two NFW profiles, and 23 Galaxy-scale mass components as perturbations to the cluster potential. We simulate a distribution of sources for

We present the first results from the mass modelling of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, using spectroscopic data from our VLT/FLAMES CaII triplet wide area survey of Sculptor.
