Descripción
NGC 253 is a nearby spiral galaxy with an active starburst nucleus. Its proximity allows observation with good spatial resolution with state of the art mid and far IR facilities. Here we present preliminary results obtained from the ISO archive in 5 to 16 microns (ISOCAM-CVF) and 120 to 180 μm (ISOPHOT) ranges. The mid IR spectrum exhibits typical broad PAH features as well as weak atomic emission, which is not seen in the continuum nor in the [ArII] emission line. For the first time we present a far IR map (180 μm) as well as several profiles across the minor axis of the galaxy, showing a variation of the dust temperature. We detect an extension of the cold dust (20K) emission not seen previously in IRAS maps, which may contribute to a large fraction of the galaxy total mass.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of
