Descripción
The extinction law in the well-defined dust lane of the Sombrero galaxy, NGC 4594, was studied. In the R, I, J, H, and K bands good agreement is found between values for the extinction ratios A(lambda)/A(v) in NGC 4594 and those reported for the Galaxy. The apparently somewhat lower values in the B and V-bands can be explained with a scenario where parasitic light enters the line of sight; either foreground light or light stars embedded in the dust lane. The Galactic extinction law seems to be valid for the dust in the Sombrero galaxy over the wavelength range studied.

However, detections are limited to strongly active regions because signal-to-noise ratio of the data is low. Recently, we developed the FarNet and FarNet-II neural networks to improve the identification of active

    Inferring the coupling of different atmospheric layers requires observing spectral lines sensitive to the atmospheric parameters, particularly the magnetic field vector, at various heights. The best way to tackle this goal is to perform multi-line observations simultaneously. For instance, the new version of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
