We report the discovery of a new broad interstellar (or circumstellar) band at 7088.8 +/- 2.0 Å coincident to within the measurement uncertainties with the strongest band of the anthracene cation (C14H10+) as measured in gas-phase laboratory spectroscopy at low temperatures. The band is detected in the line of sight of star Cernis 52, a likely

Context. Star formation rate (SFR), metallicity, and stellar mass are among the most important parameters of star-forming (SF) galaxies characterizing their formation and evolution. They are known to be related to each other both at low and high redshift in the mass-metallicity, mass-SFR, and metallicity-SFR relations. Aims: We demonstrate the

Our recent detection of compact radio emission at the position of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) IC 342 X-1 suggests the presence of an outflow in this object. This new finding combined with the fact that this source is mostly seen with a hard X-ray spectrum allows us to identify the source as in the `hard' state similar to that seen from

Las estrellas masivas azules son los motores químicos y dinámicos del Universo. Su violento fin, así como los fuertes vientos estelares que sufren durante sus vidas, enriquecen e ionizan el medio interestelar que las rodea. Llegando su influencia a recónditos lugares de la galaxia. Estos objetos se encuentran entre los más brillantes que pueblan el

We present the first chemical composition study of two unevolved stars in the globular cluster NGC 2808, obtained with the X-shooter spectrograph at VLT. NGC 2808 shows three discrete, well-separated main sequences. The most accepted explanation for this phenomenon is that their stars have different helium contents. We observed one star on the
