Low luminosity AGN represent the vast majority of the AGN population in the near universe, and still the least conforming class with the standard AGN scenario...

Aims: Our goal is to probe the inner structure and the nature of the mid-IR emission in the active galaxy IC 3639, which hosts a Seyfert 2 nucleus and shows...

Star-forming regions that are visible at 3.6 μm and Hα but not in the u, g, r, i, z bands of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are measured in five nearby spiral...

I present an overview of the types of science programs that may be feasible with EMIR. This is biased toward high-z studies and is not exhaustive. I then...

We outline two complementary applications of the tunable filter system in OSIRIS for research on external galaxies: diagnostics of the diffuse ionized gas in...

Emission line galaxies are the most easily detected and studied objects in the high redshift Universe. They are being used to trace the evolution of critical...

We investigate the suitability of GTC/OSIRIS Tunable Filters (TFs) for obtaining emission-line maps of extended objects. We developed a technique to reconstruct...

A new stellar library at the near-IR spectral region developed for the empirical calibration of the Caii triplet and stellar population synthesis modelling is...

We present a homogeneous set of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, [Fe/H]) for a sample of about 700 field and cluster stars which constitute a new...
