We report on magnetic field emergences covering significant areas of exploding granules. The balloon-borne mission Sunrise provided high spatial and temporal resolution images of the solar photosphere. Continuum images, longitudinal and transverse magnetic field maps and Dopplergrams obtained by IMaX onboard Sunrise are analyzed by local

High-precision HST photometry has revealed that the globular cluster (GC) NGC 2808 hosts a triple main sequence (MS) corresponding to three stellar populations with different helium abundances. We carried out photometry on ACS/WFC HST images of NGC 2808 with the main purpose of measuring the luminosity function (LF) of stars in the three different

Tadpole galaxies have a giant star-forming region at the end of an elongated intensity distribution. The origin of this asymmetric structure is not known, although suggestions range from ram pressure to mergers. We use SDSS data to determine the ages, masses, surface densities, and star formation rates of the heads and tails in 13 local tadpoles

El proceso de formación y evolución de las galaxias está determinado por dos conjuntos de mecanismos paralelos: (i) el ensamblado de la masa y sus interacciones con otros sistemas, que determinan su tipo morfológico y su evolución dinámica, que a su vez, induce formación estelar, y (ii) la formación, evolución y muerte estelar, que hace evolucionar
