A Methane, Isolated, Planetary-Mass Object in Orion
We report on the discovery of a free-floating methane dwarf toward the direction of the young star cluster σ Ori. Based on the object's far-red, optical, and...
A method to deconvolve stellar profiles. The non-rotating line utilizing Gaussian sum approximation
Context. Currently, one of the standard procedures used to determine stellar and wind parameters of massive stars involves to comparing the observed spectral...
A method to detect p-mode oscillations in solar-like star signals
A good example of finding a signal buried in noise, a common problem in Astrophysics, is the search for stellar oscillations in the acoustic power spectrum of...
A method to measure the mirror reflectivity of a prime focus telescope
We have developed a method to measure the mirror reflectivity of telescopes. While it is relatively easy to measure the local reflectivity of the mirror...
A microwave blackbody target for cosmic microwave background spectral measurements in the 10–20 GHz range
The Tenerife Microwave Spectrometer (TMS) is a ground-based radio-spectrometer that will take absolute measurements of the sky between 10–20 GHz. To ensure the...
A mid-infrared spectroscopic atlas of local active galactic nuclei on sub-arcsecond resolution using GTC/CanariCam
We present an atlas of mid-infrared (mid-IR) ˜ 7.5-13 μm spectra of 45 local active galactic nuclei (AGN) obtained with CanariCam on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio...
A mid-infrared statistical investigation of clumpy torus model predictions
We present new calculations of the Clumpy AGN Tori in a 3D geometry (CAT3D) clumpy torus models, which now include a more physical dust sublimation model as...
A mid-infrared study of H II regions in the Magellanic Clouds: N88 A and N160 A
Aims: To show the importance of high-spatial resolution observations of H II regions when compared with observations obtained with larger apertures such as ISO...
A mid-infrared study of very low mass stars and brown dwarfs in Upper Scorpius
Context: To investigate the formation of sub-stellar objects, we observed a sample of ultracool dwarf members of the Upper Scorpius OB association. Aims: The...
