We present a visual determination of the number of bright points (BPs) existing in the quiet Sun, which are structures thought to trace intense kG magnetic...
Mapping solar magnetic fields from the photosphere to the corona
The solar chromosphere is the region between the relatively thin and cold photosphere (temperature of a few thousand degrees) and the hot and extended corona...
Mapping the hidden magnetic field of the quiet Sun
The Sun is the only star where we can resolve the intricate magnetism that all convective stars harbor. Yet, more than 99% of its visible surface along the...
Massive collision in the planetary system Kepler 107
Recently, astrophysicists have studied the configuration of a planetary system (Kepler 107) discovered with the NASA Kepler mission, which was looking for...
MUSE reveals different gas components in planetary nebulae
We present a detailed study of the gas chemical abundances in planetary nebulae (PNe), the final fate of solar-like stars, through high spatial resolution...
Narrow Band Halpha photometry of the super-Earth GJ 1214b with GTC/OSIRIS tunable filters.
Aims. The super-Earth planet GJ 1214b has recently been the focus of several studies, which use the transit spectroscopy technique to determine the nature of...
Se observa en la Vía Láctea un cuerpo celeste de extraño comportamiento. Un equipo de astrónomos, lilderados por el investigador Alberto J. Castro Tirado, del...
Neural networks to distinguish real and simulated galaxies
Can neural networks distinguish computer simulated galaxy images from observed galaxies? This is the question that has been addressed in this work. For years...
