Context. Imaging spectrographs are popular instruments used to obtain solar data. They record quasi-monochromatic images at selected wavelength positions. By scanning the spectral range of the line, it is possible to obtain bidimensional maps of the field-of-view with a moderate spectral resolution. Aims: In this work, we evaluate the quality of

Context. The analysis of waves on the visible side of the Sun allows the detection of active regions on the far side through local helioseismology techniques. Knowing the magnetism in the whole Sun, including the non-visible hemisphere, is fundamental for several space weather forecasting applications. Aims: Seismic identification of far-side

The main goal of an interferometer is to probe the physics of astronomical objects at the highest possible angular resolution. The most intuitive way of doing this is by reconstructing images from the interferometric data. GRAVITY at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) has proven to be a fantastic instrument in this endeavour. In this

The GRAVITY instrument was primarily conceived for imaging and astrometry of the Galactic centre. However, its sensitivity and astrometric capabilities have also enabled interferometry to reach a new domain of astrophysics: exoplanetology. In March 2019, the GRAVITY collaboration published the first spectrum and astrometry of an exoplanet obtained

The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP) sounding rocket experiment, launched in 2015 September, observed the hydrogen Lyα line (121.6 nm) in an unprecedented high temporal cadence of 0.3 s. CLASP performed sit-and-stare observations of the quiet Sun near the limb for 5 minutes with a slit perpendicular to the limb and successfully

The morphology of H II regions around young star clusters provides insight into the time-scales and physical processes that clear a cluster's natal gas. We study ̃700 young clusters (≤10 Myr) in three nearby spiral galaxies (NGC 7793, NGC 4395, and NGC 1313) using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging from LEGUS (Legacy ExtraGalactic Ultraviolet
