This article reports on the results of simulations conducted to assess the performance of a modal Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system on a 10 m telescope with one Deformable Mirror (DM) conjugated to the telescope pupil and a second DM conjugated at a certain altitude above the pupil. The main goal of these simulations is to study the

Here we present the steady-state numerical solution and two-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations of supergalactic winds, taking into consideration strong radiative cooling. The two possible outcomes: quasi-adiabatic and strongly radiative flows, are thoroughly discussed, together with their implications on the appearance of supergalactic winds in

We present 58 photoelectric minima observations of 19 eclipsing binaries.

We have obtained low resolution infrared spectra of 21 brown dwarf candidates, selected from a survey performed at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The spectra were obtained at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (La Palma), using the NICS spectrometer in the Amici configuration, which allows to observe the range 0.85-2.45 micron in a single shot

We present the results of 8 yr of infrared photometric monitoring of a large sample of stars visible from Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Canary Islands). The final archive is made up of 10,949 photometric measures through a standard InSb single-channel photometer system, principally in JHK, although some stars have measures in L'. The core of this

We discuss the possibility that the extended structures, lacking young stars, routinely found in dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrr) are a consequence of a progressive shrinking of the star forming region. This would be an alternative scenario to the possible halo-disk structure of dIrr. Although the final answer must wait until kinematical data of
