Descripción
Este grupo desarrolla varios proyectos extragalácticos en diferentes rangos del espectro electromagnético utilizando satélites y telescopios en tierra para estudiar la evolución cosmológica de las galaxias y el origen de la actividad nuclear en galaxias activas. En el aspecto instrumental, el grupo forma parte del consorcio internacional que ha construido el instrumento SPIRE del Observatorio Espacial Herschel y del consorcio europeo que desarrolla el instrumento SAFARI para el telescopio espacial infrarrojo SPICA de las agencias espaciales ESA y JAXA.
Los proyectos principales en 2018 han sido:
a) Galaxias y cuásares distantes con emisión en el infrarrojo lejano descubiertas con el Observatorio Espacial Herschel en los "Key Projects" HerMES y Herschel-ATLAS.
b) Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: galaxias del proyecto BELLS GALLERY y galaxias Lyman alpha muy luminosas
c) Participación en el desarrollo del instrumento SAFARI, una de las contribuciones europeas al telescopio espacial infrarrojo SPICA.
d) Descubrimiento de la estrella individual más distante conocida, en uno de los campos del proyecto "HST Frontier Fields"
e) Búsqueda de supernovas en galaxias distantes amplificadas por lentes gravitacionales.
f) Varios estudios con GTC de sistemas de absorción en la línea de visión a cuásares rojos.

Resultados
- Marques-Chaves et al. (2018) presentan un estudio detallado de la galaxia submm HLock01 a z = 2.9574, una de las fuentes más brillantes magnificadas por una lente gravitacional descubiertas en el "Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey".
- Rigopoulou et al. (2018) derivan la metalicidad de la fase gaseosa de la galaxia submm HLSW-01 utilizando observaciones espectroscópicas de líneas de estructura fina con Herschel. Encuentran que la metalicidad de galaxias submm luminosas es de tipo solar y que siguen la relación masa-metalicidad esperada para galaxias a z ∼ 3.
- Cornachione et al. (2018) presentan un estudio morfológico de 17 galaxias emisoras Lyman alpha magnificadas por lentes gravitacionales de la muestra BELLS GALLERY. El análisis combina el efecto de magnificación de las lentes fuertes galaxia-galaxia con la alta resolución angular del telescopio espacial Hubble para conseguir una resolución espacial de ~80 pc.
- Oteo et al. (2018) reportan la identificación de un protocúmulo de galaxias extremo en el universo temprano cuyo núcleo (denominado Núcleo Rojo Distante por su color muy rojo en las bandas de Herschel SPIRE) está formado por al menos 10 galaxias polvorientas con formación estelar, confirmadas espectroscópicamente a z = 4.002 con ALMA y ATCA.
- Kelly et al. (2018) reportan el descubrimiento de una estrella individual, Icarus, a un desplazamiento al rojo de 1.49, magnificada más de 2000 veces por el efecto de lente gravitacional del cúmulo de galaxias MACS J1149+222. Icarus está localizada en una galaxia espiral muy alejada de la tierra, su luz ha tardado 9000 millones de años en llegar a la tierra.

A magnified compact galaxy at redshift 9.51 with strong nebular emission linesUltraviolet light from early galaxies is thought to have ionized gas in the intergalactic medium. However, there are few observational constraints on this epoch because of the faintness of those galaxies and the redshift of their optical light into the infrared. We report the observation, in JWST imaging, of a distant galaxy that is magnified byWilliams, Hayley et al.

Scaling slowly rotating asteroids with stellar occultationsContext. As evidenced by recent survey results, the majority of asteroids are slow rotators (spin periods longer than 12 h), but lack spin and shape models because of selection bias. This bias is skewing our overall understanding of the spins, shapes, and sizes of asteroids, as well as of their other properties. Also, diameter determinations forMarciniak, A. et al.

The galaxy counterpart and environment of the dusty damped Lyman-α absorber at z = 2.226 towards Q 1218+0832We report on further observations of the field of the quasar Q 1218+0832. Geier et al. (2019, A&A, 625, L9) presented the discovery of the quasar resulting from a search for quasars reddened and dimmed by dust in foreground damped Lyman-α absorbers (DLAs). The DLA is remarkable by having a very large H I column density close to 10 22 cm −2. ItsFynbo, J. P. U. et al.

Evolution of the Mass-Metallicity Relation from Redshift z ≈ 8 to the Local UniverseA tight positive correlation between the stellar mass and the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies has been observed at low redshifts. The redshift evolution of this correlation can strongly constrain theories of galaxy evolution. The advent of JWST allows probing the mass-metallicity relation at redshifts far beyond what was previously accessibleLangeroodi, Danial et al.

z-GAL: A NOEMA spectroscopic redshift survey of bright Herschel galaxies. II. Dust propertiesWe present the dust properties of 125 bright Herschel galaxies selected from the z-GAL NOEMA spectroscopic redshift survey. All the galaxies have precise spectroscopic redshifts in the range 1.3 < z < 5.4. The large instantaneous bandwidth of NOEMA provides an exquisite sampling of the underlying dust continuum emission at 2 and 3 mm in theIsmail, D. et al.

z-GAL: A NOEMA spectroscopic redshift survey of bright Herschel galaxies. III. Physical propertiesThe z-GAL survey observed 137 bright Herschel-selected targets with the IRAM Northern Extended Millimeter Array, with the aim to measure their redshift and study their properties. Several of them have been resolved into multiple sources. Consequently, robust spectroscopic redshifts have been measured for 165 individual galaxies in the range 0.8 < zBerta, S. et al.

Follow-up Survey for the Binary Black Hole Merger GW200224_222234 Using Subaru/HSC and GTC/OSIRISThe LIGO/Virgo detected a gravitational wave (GW) event, named GW200224_222234 (also known as S200224ca) and classified as a binary-black hole coalescence, on 2020 February 24. Given its relatively small localization skymap (71 deg 2 for a 90% credible region; revised to 50 deg 2 in GWTC-3), we performed target-of-opportunity observations using theOhgami, Takayuki et al.

Spins and shapes of basaltic asteroids and the missing mantle problemBasaltic V-type asteroids are common in the inner part of the Main Asteroid Belt and much less abundant in the mid and outer parts. They are of scientific interest because they sample crusts and mantles of theoretically plentiful differentiated planetesimals that existed in the Solar System four billion years ago. Some Solar System theories suggestOszkiewicz, Dagmara et al.
