Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) photometer is one of four instruments on-board the European Space Agency ISO scheduled for launch in September 1995. It covers the wavelength range 2.5 to 240 micrometers with wide and narrow spectral bands. Diffraction- limited observations as well as wide-beam measurements of faint extended sources are possible. Polarimetric observations can be made over the whole wavelength range. The minimal detectable flux is approximately 10 mJy. The astronomical areas to be addressed range from solar system objects to cosmology.

    The IACOB project: XIII. Helium enrichment in O-type stars as a tracer of past binary interaction
    There is increasing evidence that single-star evolutionary models are unable to reproduce all of the observational properties of massive stars. Binary interaction has emerged as a key factor in the evolution of a significant fraction of massive stars. In this study, we investigate the helium (Y He) and nitrogen (ϵ N) surface abundances in a

    Detection of a Magnetic Discontinuity in the Upper Solar Chromosphere Associated with a Coronal Loop Brightening Observed by CLASP2.1
    We report the first detection of a magnetic discontinuity in the upper solar chromosphere associated with a coronal loop brightening. Our findings are based on novel observations obtained by the Chromospheric LAyer SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP2.1) suborbital space experiment. During its short 6 minute flight, CLASP2.1 successfully obtained

    Requirements on the gain calibration for LiteBIRD polarisation data with blind component separation
    The detection of primordial B modes of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) could provide information about the early stages of the Universe's evolution. The faintness of this signal requires exquisite calibration accuracy and control of instrumental systematic effects which otherwise could bias the measurements. In this work, we study the impact
