During 1981 - 82, the European Space Agency oversaw an intensive design study for a satellite to observe the submillimetre spectrum and the millimetre...

The Canarias InfraRed Camera Experiment (CIRCE) is a near-infrared (1-2.5 μm) instrument for the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) 10.4 m telescope. CIRCE has an...

Accretion of metal-poor gas via cold accretion flows has been recently proposed as a means to trigger/sustain star formation in extremely metal-poor dwarf...

Mrk 273 and Mrk 231 are ultra-luminous IR galaxies which show signs of merger activity. Their radio continuum, HI and OH maser emission has been imaged on...

In this paper we present first results from an observational study of the connection between the global parameters of barred galaxies and the appearance of...

New near-infrared (NIR) observations of galaxies with circumnuclear starbursts and of Seyfert galaxies have shown both the importance of high-resolution imaging...

NGC 253 is a nearby spiral galaxy with an active starburst nucleus. Its proximity allows observation with good spatial resolution with state of the art mid and...

Near-infrared (JHK) images of the nucleus of the barred spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) have been obtained using a high-bandwidth tip-tilt secondary and fast...
