EVOLUTIONARY PATHS OF THE MOST MASSIVE GALAXIES SINCE Z~2.
El descubrimiento de que las galaxias mas masivas eran mucho mas compactas en el pasado que las galaxias que tienen igual masa hoy, representa uno de los...
Expected number of massive galaxy relics in the present-day Universe.
The number of present-day massive galaxies that has survived untouched since their formation at high-z is an important observational constraint to the...
Explanation of the linear polarization of the Ca II IR triplet: zero-field dichroism in the solar chromosphere
The linear polarization produced by scattering processes in the spectral lines of the IR triplet of Ca II can be observed near the edge of the solar disk. The...
Exploring a new definition of the green valley and its implications
Galaxy formation remains one of the major open problems in astrophysics today. There is a wide range of mechanisms that control the transformation of gas into...
Extreme magnification of a distant star by a galaxy-cluster lens
Galaxy-cluster gravitational lenses can magnify background galaxies by a total factor of up to ~50. Here we report an image of an individual star at redshift z ...
Extremely fast orbital decay of the black hole X-ray binary Nova Muscae 1991
We present new medium-resolution spectroscopic observations of the black hole X-ray binary Nova Muscae 1991 taken with X-Shooter spectrograph installed at the 8...
Far infrared detected Lyman break galaxies at z ~ 3: Dust attenuation and dust correction factors at high redshift.
Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) represent one of the kinds of star-forming galaxies that are found in the high-redshift universe. The detection of LBGs in the FIR...
Fast orbital decays of black hole X-ray binaries: XTE J1118+480 and A0620–00.
We present new 10.4 m-GTC/OSIRIS spectroscopic observations of the black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480 that confirm the orbital period decay at (dP/dt) = −1...
FIR measurements of Ly-alpha emitters at z<1.0: dust attenuation from PACS-Herschel.
One remaining open question regarding the physical properties of Lyaemitters (LAEs) is their dust content and its evolution with redshift. The variety of...
