The angular distribution of fission fragments for the 32S+184W reaction at center-of-mass energies of 118.8, 123.1, 127.3, 131.5, 135.8, 141.1 and 144.4 MeV were measured. The experimental fission excitation function is obtained. The fragment angular anisotropy is found by extrapolating the fission angular distributions. The measured fission cross

Context. The microquasar GX 339-4 experienced a new outburst in 2010: it was observed simultaneously at various wavelengths from radio up to soft γ-rays. We focus on observations that are quasi-simultaneous with those made with the INTEGRAL and RXTE satellites: these were collected in 2010 March-April during our INTEGRAL target of opportunity

As part of an extensive study of the physical properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) we report high spatial resolution near-IR integral-field spectroscopy of the narrow-line region (NLR) and coronal-line region (CLR) of seven Seyfert galaxies. These measurements elucidate for the first time the two-dimensional spatial distribution and

We present an optical and FIR analysis of a sample of 65 Lyα emitters at 2.0˜

Using optical-optical and optical-NIR colors, we analyze the radial dependence of age and metallicity inside massive (M sstarf >~ 1010.5 M sun), low-redshift (z 0.1), early-type galaxies (ETGs), residing in both high-density group regions and the field. On average, internal color gradients of ETGs are mainly driven by metallicity, consistent with

Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (hereafter SW1) is a primitive Centaur that exhibits continuous changes in its coma appearance and brightness [1]. Our team has recently completed a decade of photometric monitoring in order to infer the physicochemical processes behind the observed activity.
