On the basis of a sample of Virgo cluster galaxies in a larger set of heterogeneous literature data, it is shown that ellipticals, early-type dwarfs, and bulges of S0s and of spirals form two distinct families in the plane of the effective parameters, R(e) and mu(e). The 'ordinary' family is composed of all galaxies fainter than MB of about -19.3

Some observations suggest that quiescent solar prominences can be considered as composed by small-scale loops, or fibrils, which are stacked one after another in both the vertical and horizontal directions. In a previous work we studied, in Cartesian geometry, the propagation of fast MHD waves in a two-dimensional magnetostatic model representing

A far-infrared observatory such as the SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics, with its unprecedented spectroscopic sensitivity, would unveil the role of feedback in galaxy evolution during the last 10 Gyr of the Universe (z = 1.5-2), through the use of far- and mid-infrared molecular and ionic fine structure lines that trace

We present the final analysis of the European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) Survey (ELAIS) 15-{mu}m observations, carried out with the ISO Camera (ISOCAM) instrument on board the ISO. The data-reduction method, known as the Lari Method, is based on a mathematical model of the behaviour of the detector and was specifically designed for

Asteroids can be defined as objects that do not have an atmosphere, are smaller than the planets and orbit the Sun. But, what is most important, asteroids are the remnants of the first forming blocks of the Solar System. The main asteroid population is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, in a region called the Main Belt (MB). Other
