Descripción
The efficiency ratio of massive star formation in the arms of the spiral NGC 628 to that in the interarm region has been determined from the sizes and positions of its H II regions following the method described in Cepa and Beckman (1989). The variation of this relative star formation efficiency with radius shows a very similar behaviour for each of the three arms of this galaxy, with a minimum at 100 arc sec from the center, which can be identified with the corotation radius assuming a pattern speed of 56 km/s kpc. The results support the hypothesis that the spiral arms of NGC 628 are driven by a density wave which triggers the star formation according to the spiral density wave theory.

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
