Essay review on the book: ‘Land of the Shamans: archaeology, cosmology and landscapes' by Gheorgiu, D.; Nash, G.; Bender, H.; Passztor, E.

We report the serendipitous discovery of a nitrogen-rich, mildly metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -1.08) giant star in a single-lined spectroscopic binary system found in the SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE-2) survey, Data Release 14 (DR14). Previous work has assumed that two percent of halo giants with unusual elemental

We report detection of the binary companion to the millisecond pulsar J1741+1351 with the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The optical source position coincides with the pulsar coordinates and its magnitudes are g′ = 24.84(5), r′ = 24.38(4) and i′ = 24.17(4). Comparison of the data with the WD evolutionary models shows that the source can be a He-core WD

Recent observations show cool, oscillating prominence threads fading when observed in cool spectral lines and appearing in warm spectral lines. A proposed mechanism to explain the observed temperature evolution is that the threads were heated by turbulence driven by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability that developed as a result of wave-driven shear

En esta tesis se han abordado varios de los pasos necesarios (análisis del ruido instrumental, construcción de mapas, estimación de espectros de potencias) para el procesado de los datos de un experimento de polarización del Fondo Cósmico de Microondas (FCM), enfocándolos a la explotación cientı́fica del experimento QUIJOTE. En particular se

Atmospheric scintillation caused by optical turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere can be the dominant source of noise in ground-based photometric observations of bright targets, which is a particular concern for ground-based exoplanet transit photometry. We demonstrate the implications of atmospheric scintillation for exoplanet transit photometry
