Accurate angular quadratures are crucial for the numerical solution of three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer problems, especially when the spectral line polarisation produced by the scattering of anisotropic radiation is included. There are two requirements for obtaining an optimal quadrature and they are difficult to satisfy simultaneously

In this project we analyse the optical and structural properties of galaxies with redshifts (0.5 < z < 3.0) and more massive than 10 9 solar masses in the IllustrisTNG50 cosmological simulation. We use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on observed galaxies from the CANDELS survey. We include similar PSF and noise to the 11048 mock images

We present the first science results from the High Optical Resolution Spectrograph (HORuS), a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph now in operation on the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). The spectrograph provides a FWHM resolving power of 25,000 and coverage between 370 and 690 nm. HORuS has been mostly built with parts from a previous

We report evidence from APOGEE for the presence of a new metal-poor stellar structure located within ∼4 kpc of the Galactic Centre. Characterized by a chemical composition resembling those of low-mass satellites of the Milky Way, this new inner Galaxy structure (IGS) seems to be chemically and dynamically detached from more metal-rich populations

Context. ESPRESSO is the new high-resolution spectrograph of ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). It was designed for ultra-high radial-velocity (RV) precision and extreme spectral fidelity with the aim of performing exoplanet research and fundamental astrophysical experiments with unprecedented precision and accuracy. It is able to observe with any

Presentamos un estudio arqueoastronómico de la denominada habitación 2 del poblado preibérico de San Cristóbal de Mazaleón (siglos VII-VI a.C.) y de varios túmulos de la necrópolis contemporánea asociada. La habitación 2 presenta una orientación ajustada a los ejes cardinales y un marcador del orto solar en fechas alrededor de los
