We present the first results of an observational project aimed at producing a database of nearby face-on spiral galaxies in the optical. The project is being...

Long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) are associated with type Ic supernovae that are more luminous than average and that eject material at very high velocities...

In this work we analyze time-resolved spectra of SS Cygni in quiescence. The geometrical and orbital fundamental parameters of the system are determined. When...

Time resolved spectra of SS Cyg corresponding to different outburst types are analyzed. Some evidence has been found for an increase of the mass transfer rate...

We present broad-band photometry of five transits in the planetary system WASP-36, totalling 17 high-precision light curves. Four of the transits were...

We present HST/STIS optical and Gemini/NIFS near-IR IFU spectroscopy and archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of the triplet of super star clusters (A1...

We have defined a new Hβ absorption index definition, Hβo, which has been optimized as an age indicator for old and intermediate age stellar populations. Rather...

Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giants but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but...

White dwarfs are dense, cooling stellar embers consisting mostly of carbon and oxygen 1, or oxygen and neon (with a few per cent carbon) at higher initial...
