A Substantial Amount of Hidden Magnetic Energy in the Quiet Sun
An investigation carried out at the IAC has demonstrated that the apparently non-magnetic regions of the solar photosphere (the innermost region of the...
A titanic interstellar medium ejection from a massive starburst galaxy
Feedback-driven winds from star formation or active galactic nuclei might be a relevant channel for the abrupt quenching of star formation in massive galaxies...
A Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray View of the Transient Sky
The development of the latest generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) over recent decades has led to the discovery of new extreme...
About metallicity variations in the local Galactic interstellar medium
In this work we discuss and confront recent results on metallicity variations in the local interstellar medium, obtained from observations of H II regions by...
NGC 1068 is the prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy and a prime example for active galactic nuclei (AGN) unifying schemes. Its central engine is thought to be hidden...
An Integral View of Fast Shocks around Supernova 1006.
Supernova remnants are among the most spectacular examples of astrophysical pistons in our cosmic neighborhood. The gas expelled by the supernova explosion is...
An Interacting Binary System Powers Precessing Outflows of an Evolved Star.
Stars are generally spherical, yet their gaseous envelopes oftenappear non-spherical when ejected near the end of their lives. Thisquirk is most notable during...
An ionised bubble powered by a proto-cluster at z = 6.5
We show herein that a proto-cluster of Lyα emitting galaxies, spectroscopically confirmed at redshift 6.5, produces a remarkable number of ionising continuum...
An ultraviolet wind in a neutron star X-ray binary transient
All disc-accreting astrophysical objects produce powerful disc winds. In compact binaries containing neutron stars or black holes, accretion often takes place...
