Aims: We describe a fast, robust and automatic detection algorithm, TRUFAS, and apply it to data that are being expected from the CoRoT mission. Methods: The procedure proposed for the detection of planetary transits in light curves works in two steps: 1) a continuous wavelet transformation of the detrended light curve with posterior selection of

Solar gravity modes have been actively sought because they directly probe the solar core (below 0.2 solar radius), but they have not been conclusively detected in the Sun because of their small surface amplitudes. Using data from the Global Oscillation at Low Frequency instrument, we detected a periodic structure in agreement with the period

Here we present the analysis of three-dimensional spectroscopic data of three blue compact galaxies (Mrk 324, Mrk 370, and III Zw 102). Each of the more than 22,500 spectra obtained for each galaxy has been fitted by a single Gaussian from which we have inferred the velocity dispersion (σ), the peak intensity (Ipeak), and the central wavelength (λc

Context: Recent results suggest that there is a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) (2003 EL{61} being the biggest member), with surfaces composed of almost pure water ice and with very similar orbital elements. These objects provide exciting laboratories for the study of the processes that prevent the formation of an evolved mantle of organics

We present a brief summary of current results on the stellar distribution and population gradients in disk galaxies, and discuss future prospects of follow-up imaging and spectroscopic research using the GTC with OSIRIS & EMIR.

In this work, we study the formation and evolution of dark matter haloes by means of the spherical infalling model with shell-crossing. We present a framework to tackle this effect properly based on the numerical follow-up, with time, of that individual shell of matter that contains always the same fraction of mass with respect to the total mass
