Un equipo internacional de astrónomos ha descubierto que las galaxias con núcleos activos, es decir, aquellas cuyo agujero negro central está en continuo...
Un caos magnético escondido en la galaxia del Remolino
En lo más profundo de la estructura espiral de las galaxias hay una fuerza escondida: los campos magnéticos. Pese a ser invisibles a los telescopios...
Unbiased Large Spectroscopic Surveys of Galaxies Selected by SPICA Using Dust Bands
The mid-infrared range contains many spectral features associated with large molecules and dust grains such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and silicates...
Large-scale outflows from galaxies are a crucially important yet poorly understood aspect of galaxy evolution. They redistribute gas and metals into the IGM...
Using color-magnitude diagrams and spectroscopy to derive star formation histories: VLT observations of Fornax
We undertook a study of the star formation and chemical enrichment history of the Fornax dSph galaxy. We used the VLT with FORS1 to obtain photometry reaching...
Very high redshift quasars and the rapid emergence of supermassive black holes
The observation of quasars at very high redshift such as Pōniuā'ena is a challenge for models of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation. This work presents a...
We present narrowband H-alpha imaging and long-slit optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of the giant H II region NGC 2363. The spectroscopic data are taken...
VLA and ALMA observations of the lensed radio-quiet quasar SDSS J0924+0219: a molecular structure in a 3 μJy radio source
We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) observations of SDSS J0924+0219, a z = 1.524 radio-quiet lensed...
Warm ionized gas in CALIFA early-type galaxies. 2D emission-line patterns and kinematics for 32 galaxies
Context. The morphological, spectroscopic, and kinematical properties of the warm interstellar medium (wim) in early-type galaxies (ETGs) hold key observational...
