We study the dynamics of homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker cosmological models with positive spatial curvature within the context of mimetic gravity theory by employing dynamical system techniques. Our analysis yields phase-space trajectories that describe physically relevant solutions, capturing various stages of cosmic

Michael Hoskin is the name of a scholar whose memory will remain forever linked to cultural astronomy. Professor of History of Science at the University of Cambridge, in the United Kingdom, where he first specialized in Isaac Newton and his 'Principia'. Later on, he would devoted a great deal of his efforts to the family of William Herschel, with

During the transition from the first to the second millennium, a new artistic and architectural style known as “Romanesque” emerged and developed in the Iberian Peninsula between the 11th and 13th centuries. Many resources were invested in the construction of churches and monasteries, particularly in the regions crossed by the Camino de ­Santiago

This work is a study of the relationship between astronomy and landscape focused on the orientation of Christian churches of the three main Manorial (Señorío) Islands of the Canary archipelago (Spain): Lanzarote, La Gomera and Fuerteventura. As a background, we have the information provided by the texts of early Christian writers, which imposed

Context. Carbon abundances in first-ascent giant stars are usually lower than those of their main-sequence counterparts. At moderate metallicities, stellar evolution of single stars cannot account for the existence of red-giant branch stars with enhanced carbon abundances. The phenomenon is usually interpreted as resulting from past mass transfer

We have learnt in the last decades that the majority of galaxies belong to high density regions interconnected in a sponge-like fashion. This large-scale structure is characterised by clusters, filaments, and walls, where most galaxies concentrate, but also under-dense regions called voids. The void regions and the galaxies within represent an
