Descripción
Many barred galaxies show enhanced star formation activity in ring-like regions around their centres, at typical radii of 1-2 kpc. We show how kinematic (WHT TAURUS Fabry-Pérot velocity mapping) and imaging (CFHT near infrared adaptive optics) observational tests, combined with dynamical modelling, can help in unravelling the dynamics and star formation properties of such circumnuclear regions. Our recent science-driven experience with adaptive optics and with TAURUS is discussed in relation to the future at ING.

    Perspectives on the physics of late-type stars from beyond low earth orbit, the moon and mars
    With the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations. The European Space Agency's Human and Robotic Exploration program provides an excellent opportunity to push forward the limits of our

    Magnetic diffusion in solar atmosphere produces measurable electric fields
    The efficient release of magnetic energy in astrophysical plasmas, such as during solar flares, can in principle be achieved through magnetic diffusion, at a rate determined by the associated electric field. However, attempts at measuring electric fields in the solar atmosphere are scarce, and none exist for sites where the magnetic energy is

    Echo-free quality factor of a multilayer axion haloscope
    We report a methodology to determine the quality factor ( Q) of wavy dark matter detectors equipped with multilayered resonators, including Fabry-Pérot interferometers and the so-called dielectric haloscope. An anechoic chamber enables the observation of the resonance frequency and its amplitude for an unlimited series of layers for the first time
