Trojan asteroids are an interesting population of minor bodies due to their dynamical characteristics, their physical properties and that they are relatively isolated located at the snow-line The main hypotheses about the origin of the Jupiter Trojans assumed that they formed either during the final stages of the planetary formation (Marzari &

The solar rotation profile is well constrained down to about 0.25 R &sun; thanks to the study of acoustic modes. Since the radius of the inner turning point of a resonant acoustic mode is inversely proportional to the ratio of its frequency to its degree, only the low-degree p modes reach the core. The higher the order of these modes, the deeper

Following the discovery of the new X-ray transient XTE J1637-498 (Atel #1699), we obtained a short (nearly 1 ksec) observation using the Swift/XRT in PC mode on 2008-09-04 at 18:15 UT. We detected one relatively bright source within the ~6 arcminutes PCA error circle at a position of RA=16:37:02.995, Dec=-49:51:37 (J2000), with an estimated

El objetivo de la presente Tesis es contribuir al entendimiento de la estructura y evolución de galaxias, a través del estudio de las poblaciones estelares resueltas. En particular, estudiando la ``Pequeña Nube de Magallanes'', una de las dos únicas galaxias irregulares de la Vía Láctea. Situada a 60 kpc del sol es, después de la Gran Nube de

Context: Observations at 0.1 arcsec have revealed the existence of dark cores in the bright filaments of sunspot penumbrae. Expectations are high that such dark-cored filaments are the basic building blocks of the penumbra, but their nature remains unknown. Aims: We investigate the origin of dark cores in penumbral filaments and the surplus
