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

We propose to measure the expansion parallax of the nebulae around the binary symbiotic Miras He 2-104 {the Southern Crab} and He 2-147 by means of high resolution WFPC2/F658N images to be taken at two different epochs. Given the large outward velocities of these nebulae inferred from ground-based spectroscopy, their apparent expansion can be

We present results from a survey of an unbiased sample of 38 early-type (S0-Sa), low-inclination, optically barred galaxies in the field, using images both from the ground and from space. Our goal was to find and characterize central stellar and gaseous structures: secondary bars, inner disks, and nuclear rings. We find that bars inside bars are
