We present a study focusing on the nature of compact groups through the study of their elliptical galaxies. We determine central velocity dispersions (σo) for 18 bright elliptical galaxies located in the core of Hickson compact groups and a control sample of 12 bright bona fide ellipticals located in the field or very loose groups. Several tests

Analysis of spectral data of two neighboring infrared lines, Fe i 15648.5 Å (g = 3) and Fe i 15652.9 Å (g_eff = 1.53) are carried out for a simple sunspot when it was near the solar disk center (mu = 0.92), to understand the basic structure of sunspot magnetic field. Inversions of Stokes profiles are carried out to derive different atmospheric

In this contribution I present my current work on a new generation of evolutionary synthesis models that compute the multiwavelength energy distribution (from gamma rays to radio) as well as the associated dispersion for young stellar systems. I will also show some statistical effects that may appear in the analysis of surveys, such as bimodal or

We present preliminary results on variable stars of a STARE's three month observational run centered at the Cygnus constellation. A total amount of aprox. 14000 stars with 9

In this contribution, I present 90%-confidence limits on diagnostic diagrams of Wλ(WR-bump) and L(WR-bump)/L(Hβ) ratio vs Wλ(Hβ) resulting from evolutionary synthesis models that include the statistical dispersion due to finite stellar populations in real star forming regions.
