We show evidences that gas outflows occur in starburst galaxies as superbubbles evolve. We then question whether hot gas will be expelled and enrich the IGM with metals or be retained within the host galaxy. For this purpose we construct three extreme scenarios of the star formation histories for a sample of dwarf galaxies using either their

Optical CCD spectra are used to determine the element{Fe} abundances at several positions inside seven bright Galactic H Ii regions. The observed [Fe Iii] line ratios are compared with the predictions of different sets of collision strengths and transition probabilities for this ion to select the atomic data providing the best fit to the

Accurate determination of the rotation rate in the inner radiative zone (0.2

After a general introduction to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we give the basics of implementing quantum algorithms. We describe how qubits are realized and controlled with RF pulses, their internal interactions, and gradient fields. A peculiarity of NMR is that the internal interactions (given by the internal Hamiltonian) are always on. We

Integral field optical spectroscopy using the INTEGRAL system (complemented with Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 imaging) is used to characterize the kinematic and ionization properties of the warm ionized gas in the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 15206+3342. These data present kinematic and morphological evidence for a tidal tail connecting the

Recently a number of works have given interesting results on the penumbral fine structure of sunpots (del Toro Iniesta, Bellot Rubio & Collados 2001; Schlichenmaier & Collados 2002), where, for instance, cold supersonic Evershed downflows were observed. In addition, there are recent results that show the existence of shock wave trains propagating
