Precessing models and eventual links with galaxy warps
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-11)
Projecte Final de Màster Oficial
Accés obertThe Restricted Three Body problem is a basic model in celestial mechanics and it has been extensively used in the design of some spatial missions. Sometimes, the designers of these missions consider other similar models ... -
Revisiting the luminosity function of single halo white dwarfs
(EDP Sciences, 2015-09-01)
Article
Accés obertContext. White dwarfs are the fossils left by the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars, and have very long evolutionary timescales. This allows us to use them to explore the properties of old populations, like the ... -
Rings and spirals in barred galaxies III. Further comparisons and links to observations
(2010)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialIn a series of papers, we propose a theory to explain the formation and properties of rings and spirals in barred galaxies. The building blocks of these structures are orbits guided by the manifolds emanating from the ... -
Short-timescale X-ray spectral variability in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783
(EDP Sciences, 2022-03-01)
Article
Accés obertAims. We report on the X-ray time-resolved spectral analysis of XMM-Newton observations of NGC 3783. Our main goal is to detect transient features in the Fe K line complex in order to study the dynamics of the innermost ... -
Supermassive black hole winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS: I. Ultra-fast outflows in quasars beyond the local Universe
(EDP Sciences, 2023-02-01)
Article
Accés obertWe present a new X-ray spectroscopic study of 22 luminous (2 × 1045 ¿ Lbol/erg s-1 ¿ 2 × 1046) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at intermediate redshifts (0.1 ¿ z ¿ 0.4), as part of the SUpermassive Black hole Winds in the ... -
Supermassive black hole winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS: II. HST UV spectroscopy of winds at intermediate redshifts
(EDP Sciences, 2023-02-01)
Article
Accés obertWe present a UV spectroscopic study of ionized outflows in 21 active galactic nuclei (AGN), observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The targets of the Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays (SUBWAYS) sample were ... -
Tails and bridges in the parabolic restricted three-body problem
(2017-01-01)
Article
Accés obertAfter a close encounter of two galaxies, bridges and tails can be seen between or around them. A bridge would be a spiral arm between a galaxy and its companion, whereas a tail would correspond to a long and curving set ... -
The contribution of oxygen-neon white dwarfs to the MACHO content of the Galactic halo
(2007-06-13)
Article
Accés obertContext. The interpretation of microlensing results towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) still remains controversial. White dwarfs have been proposed to explain these results and, hence, to contribute significantly ... -
The lively accretion disc in NGC 2992-II. The 2019/2021 X-ray monitoring campaigns
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-01)
Article
Accés obertWe report on the short- and long-term X-ray properties of the bright nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2992, which was extensively observed with Swift, XMM–Newton, and NuSTAR. Swift targeted the source more than 100 times between ... -
The lively accretion disk in NGC 2992. III. Tentative evidence of rapid ultrafast outflow variability
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2023-06-01)
Article
Accés obertWe report on the 2019 XMM-Newton+NuSTAR monitoring campaign of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992, observed at one of its highest flux levels in the X-rays. The time-averaged spectra of the two XMM-Newton orbits show ultrafast ... -
The XMM-Newton/2dF survey - II. The nature of X-ray-faint optically bright X-ray sources
(Oxford University Press, 2004-03-21)
Article
Accés obertIn this paper we investigate the properties of low X-ray-to-optical flux ratio sources detected in a wide area (2.5deg^2) shallow (f(0.5-8keV)~10e-14cgs) XMM-Newton survey. We find a total of 26 sources (5% of the total ... -
Three kinematical methods to identify local galactic structures
(2010-05)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertMethod one: by combining a sampling parameter related to an isolating integral of the stellar motion, an optimisation of the mixture approach, and a maximisation of the partition entropy for the constituent populations ... -
Tracking the spectral properties of ESO 511-G030 across different epochs
(EDP Sciences, 2023-04-01)
Article
Accés obertThe Type 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) ESO 511-G030, a formerly bright and soft excess dominated source, was observed in 2019 in the context of a multi-wavelength monitoring campaign. In the new exposures, the source was ... -
Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227: II. Warm absorbers and obscuration events in archival XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations
(EDP Sciences, 2022-01-01)
Article
Accés obertThe relationship between warm absorber (WA) outflows of active galactic nuclei and nuclear obscuration activities caused by optically thick clouds (obscurers) crossing the line of sight is still unclear. NGC 3227 is a ... -
Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227: IV. Origin of the obscuring cloud variability
(EDP Sciences, 2023-05-01)
Article
Accés obertContext. Obscuration events in type I active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been detected more frequently in recent years. The strong flux decrease in the soft X-ray band between observations has been caused by clouds with ... -
