The effects of seeing on the parameters of the Sèrsic profile are studied in an analytical form using a Gaussian point spread function. The surface brightness...
The effects of seeing on Sérsic profiles - II. The Moffat PSF
The effects of seeing on Sérsic r1/n profile parameters are extensively studied using a Moffat function. This analytical approximation to the point spread...
The effects of spatial resolution on integral field spectrograph surveys at different redshifts - The CALIFA perspective
Context. Over the past decade, 3D optical spectroscopy has become the preferred tool for understanding the properties of galaxies and is now increasingly used...
The Einstein Cross: Constraint on Dark Matter from Stellar Dynamics and Gravitational Lensing
We present two-dimensional line-of-sight stellar kinematics of the lens galaxy in the Einstein Cross, obtained with the GEMINI 8 m telescope, using the GMOS...
The ELAIS deep X-ray survey - I. Chandra source catalogue and first results
We present an analysis of two deep (75 ks) Chandra observations of the European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) Survey (ELAIS) fields N1 and N2 as...
The electron temperatures of SDSS high-metallicity giant extragalactic HII regions
Spectra of high-metallicity [12+log(O/H) >~ 8.2] HII regions, where oxygen auroral lines are measurable in both the O+ and O++ zones, have been extracted from...
The elemental abundance of quiescent galaxies in the LEGA-C survey: the (non-)evolution of [α/Fe] from z = 0.75 to z = 0
We measure the [α/Fe] abundances for 183 quiescent galaxies at z = 0.60-0.75 with stellar masses ranging 10.4 ≤ log 10(M */M ⊙) ≤ 11.6 selected from the Large...
ELMER is a multi-purpose instrument for the GTC designed for both, imaging and spectroscopy in the visible range. The detection subsystem consists of a single...
The Emission and Distribution of Dust of the Torus of NGC 1068
We present observations of NGC 1068 covering the 19.7–53.0 μm wavelength range using FORCAST and HAWC+ on board SOFIA. Using these observations, high-angular...
