The Universidad Complutense de Madrid Survey (UCM Survey) has been carried out the last years with the aim of looking for Hα emission-line galaxies. ISO observed some of the UCM galaxies with different instruments but a very high percentage of these star-forming galaxies were observed in ISOPHOT Serendipity Mode. The objective is to get 175 micron

We propose to measure the expansion parallax of the nebulae around the binary symbiotic Miras He 2-104 {the Southern Crab} and He 2-147 by means of high resolution WFPC2/F658N images to be taken at two different epochs. Given the large outward velocities of these nebulae inferred from ground-based spectroscopy, their apparent expansion can be

We present deep optical and near infrared imaging over half square degree of sky in the centres of the ELAIS regions N1 and N2 and coincident with deep XMM/Chandra observations. The data have been obtained with the Wide Field Camera (WFC) and the Cambridge InfraRed Survey Instrument (CIRSI) both at the Isaac Newton Telescope (Observatorio del Roque

EMIR (Espectrógrafo Multiobjeto Infrarrojo) is a near-infrared wide-field camera and multi-object spectrograph to be built for the 10.4 m GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias) at La Palma. The Data Reduction Pipeline (DRP), which is being designed by the EMIR Universidad Complutense de Madrid Group, will be optimized for handling and reducing the near-IR

We present for the first time a two-dimensional velocity field of the central region of the grand-design spiral galaxy NGC 5248, at 0.9-arcsec spatial resolution. The Hα velocity field is dominated by circular rotation. While no systematic streaming motions are seen in the area of the nuclear grand-design spiral or the circumnuclear ring, the

We present high quality spectroscopic data for two massive stars in the OB 10 association of M31, OB 10-64 (B0 Ia) and OB 10-WR1 (WC6). Medium resolution spectra of both stars were obtained using the ISIS spectrograph on the William Herschel Telescope. This is supplemented with Hubble Space Telescope STIS UV spectroscopy and Keck I HIRES data for
