OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object survey) is a project aimed at studying the low end luminosity function of emission line galaxies. A broad band survey...
Galactic Black Hole Transient H1743-322 in transition to the hard state
Galactic black hole transient H1743-322 has been in outburst since UT 2009 May 26, (ATELs #2058, #2062). The RXTE PCA count rate has been dropping since 2009...
Galactic Bulges and Inner Disks, as Seen by SAURON
We discuss SAURON integral field observations of a sample of 42 spirals, ranging in type from Sa to Sd. Using 2D maps of the stellar velocity, velocity...
Galactic bulges: the importance of early formation scenarios vs. secular evolution
We study the stellar content of three galactic bulges with the high resolution gratings (R=7000) of the WiFeS integral field unit in order to better understand...
We present results on the study of 24 bulges of Sa galaxies observed with the integral-field unit SAURON at the William Herschel Telescope. Here we review some...
Galactic Disk Warps due to Intergalactic Accretion Flows onto the Disk
The accretion of the intergalactic medium onto the gaseous disc is used to explain the generation of galactic warps. A cup-shaped distortion is expected, due to...
