The Corona Borealis supercluster has been observed with the millimeter and infrared testa grigia observatory (MITO). Here we present the results of the observations together with a comparison with observations performed at 33 GHz with the very small array (VSA) interferometer. We have observed in the direction of the supercluster toward a cosmic

Esta tesis se centra en el estudio de las estrellas subenanas calientes de tipo B (sdBs). Esta clase de objetos muestran propiedades espectrales similares a las estrellas de tipo B en la Secuencia Principal, y se caracterizan por una baja luminosidad, que las sitúa por debajo de dicha secuencia en un diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell. Actualmente las

We present a detailed stellar population analysis of 27 massive elliptical galaxies within four very rich clusters at redshift z ~ 0.2: A115, A655, A963 and A2111. Using the new, high-resolution stellar populations models developed in our group, we obtained accurate estimates of the mean luminosity-weighted ages and relative abundances of CN, Mg

Time-resolved medium resolution spectroscopy is presented for six cataclysmic variables discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. For four of these systems the data are extensive enough to determine orbital periods from measurements of the radial velocity motion of the Balmer emission lines. For one of the systems we also present time-resolved
