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...
The spheroidal bulge of the Milky Way: Chemodynamically distinct from the inner-thick disc and bar
Studying the composition and origin of the inner region of our Galaxy—the "Galactic bulge"—is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky...
Monitoring of the near-nucleus activity of C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) began in Teide Observatory in August 1995. During 1996 the comet was observed on 72 nights...
The spin-orbit angle of the transiting hot Jupiter CoRoT-1b
We measure the angle between the planetary orbit and the stellar rotation axis in the transiting planetary system CoRoT-1, with new HIRES/Keck and FORS/VLT high...
The Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS): Survey Definition and Goals
We present the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS), an 18 deg2 medium-deep survey at 3.6 and 4.5 μm with the postcryogenic Spitzer Space...
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies ( S4G )
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies ( 4G ) is an Exploration Science Legacy Program approved for the Spitzer post-cryogenic mission. It is a...
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G): Precise Stellar Mass Distributions from Automated Dust Correction at 3.6 μm
The mid-infrared is an optimal window to trace stellar mass in nearby galaxies and the 3.6 μ {{m}} IRAC band has been exploited to this effect, but such mass...
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G): Stellar Masses, Sizes, and Radial Profiles for 2352 Nearby Galaxies
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies is a volume, magnitude, and size-limited survey of 2352 nearby galaxies with deep imaging at 3.6 and 4.5 μm...
