Converting Hα Luminosities into Star Formation Rates
The recent finding that the integrated galactic initial stellar mass function, comprising all newly formed stars in all young star clusters, has, through its...
Cool atmosphere models and observations: liability and limits of brown dwarfs and exoplanets physical parameters determination
The study of cool atmospheres is currently a fruitful field of interaction between theorists developing better atmosphere models and observers discovering new...
Cool stars with hot companions in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Most massive stars are born in binary systems, with 70% expected to interact with a companion within their lifetimes. The consequences of these interactions for...
Cooling of Accretion Heated Neutron Star Transients
Some neutron star X-ray transients (the quasi-persistent transients) spend an unusually long time in outburst, with outbursts lasting years to decades rather...
Coordination of Astronomical Observations at the Canary 1049.01-ISLANDS
The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias has two observatories on the Canary Islands; Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma and Teide Observatory, on...
Cophasing of segmented mirrors using the pyramid sensor
All the projects of the Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) are based on segmented primary mirrors. This idea, solving the problem of producing single mirrors...
Cophasing techniques for extremely large telescopes
The current designs of the majority of ELTs envisage that at least the primary mirror will be segmented. Phasing of the segments is therefore a major concern...
