Descripción
The authors have analyzed far-IR (IRAS) data for a sample of optically selected Seyfert galaxies. The far-infrared emission is uncorrelated, or at best weakly correlated, with the UV-optical emission from these sources. The authors find the far-IR emission to be extended in a number of objects. They discuss the possibility that Seyfert galaxies are undergoing circumnuclear bursts of star formation. For comparison with the large aperture IRAS data they have also obtained new ground-based measurements at 10 and 20 μm for a sample of 17 Seyfert galaxies. Conclusive evidence for extended 10 and 20 μm emission is seen in 7 out of 17 objects. Almost all of the objects have ground-based fluxes which are smaller than those measured by IRAS. For five objects the emission appears to be more extended at 10 μm than at 20 μm. This would be expected if the 10 μm emission arose, in part, from a population of very small grains for which single photon heating is important.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    The TESS TTV Follow-up Program: Revealing Volatile-Rich Terrestrial Planets Around M Stars
    Models predict that water-rich planets may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Recent JWST observations of sub-Neptune sized planets orbiting nearby M dwarfs found atmospheres enriched in CH4, CO2 and H2O, but the enrichment mechanism is debated. To answer this question

    The instrumentation plan of the 10.4m GTC telescope
    The 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) was designed to be a versatile telescope, able to serve a wide scientific community. To this aim, various focal stations have been equipped, including a Cassegrain, two Nasmyth foci, and four folded-Cassegrain stations. This allows an ambitious instrumentation plan to be developed. We present the latest
