    Spectrum radial velocity analyser (SERVAL). High-precision radial velocities and two alternative spectral indicators
    Context. The CARMENES survey is a high-precision radial velocity (RV) programme that aims to detect Earth-like planets orbiting low-mass stars. Aims: We develop...
  • Publication
    Spi-OPS: Spitzer and CHEOPS confirm the near-polar orbit of MASCARA-1 b and reveal a hint of dayside reflection
    Context. The light curves of tidally locked hot Jupiters transiting fast-rotating, early-type stars are a rich source of information about both the planet and...

    SPICA and the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies: The Rise of Metals and Dust
    The physical processes driving the chemical evolution of galaxies in the last 11Gyr cannot be understood without directly probing the dust-obscured phase of...

    Spiral-shaped wavefronts in a sunspot umbra
    Context. Solar active regions show a wide variety of oscillatory phenomena. The presence of the magnetic field leads to the appearance of several wave modes...

    Star formation in IC1396: Kinematics and subcluster structure revealed by Gaia
    Aims: We investigate the star formation history of the IC1396 region by studying its kinematics and completing the population census. Methods: We used...
  • Publication
    Star Formation in the Local Universe from the CALIFA Sample. II. Activation and Quenching Mechanisms in Bulges, Bars, and Disks
    We estimate the current extinction-corrected Hα star formation rate (SFR) of the different morphological components that shape galaxies (bulges, bars, and disks...

    Star tracking for pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. Application to the Large-Sized Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
    We present a novel approach to the determination of the pointing of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) using the trajectories of the stars in...
