Variations of temperature values for the last 20 000 years measured in the cave Dos Anas (Sierra del Rosario Cuba) are studied in comparison with the values of the hydrogen isotopes concentration obtained in the coral reef of the Barbados Island in the Caribbean region. They are compared as well with the abundance of Be10 measured in the permanent

We based on two interferometric modern techniques: Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry and Fringe Projection Technique we had realized simulations of interferograms for both rough aspherics surfaces around five microns and five meters in diameter up. Experimental interferometric setup is proposed and developed software which we reached our

Recent advances on the quest to determine the primordial or pregalactic helium abundance, Yp, are reviewed. There are seven problems affecting the He/H abundance determinations of H II regions that are briefly discussed: the underlying absorption lines in the observed spectra, the ionization, temperature, and density structures of each object, the

With the increasing availability of sensitive mid-IR area detectors on large telescopes there is a pressing need to increase the number and faintness of mid-infrared flux standards that are available. It is necessary to go as much as 4 orders of magnitude fainter in flux than the faintest ISO calibrators, although building on the foundations of the

We are carrying on several surveys in nearby galaxies aiming to find, catalogue and study old and young emission-line objects as H II regions, Planetary Nebulae, Symbiotic stars, SNRs to unprecedent levels. In particular, we are interested in extragalactic PNe and Symbiotic stars with subsequent spectroscopic study of each individual candidate. In
