We propose a methodology to perform a self-consistent analysis of the physical properties of the emitting gas of HII galaxies adequate to the data that can be obtained with the XXI century technology. This methodology requires the…
We report spatially-resolved [CII]$\lambda 158$ $\mu$m observations of HE 0433-1028, which is the first detection of a nearby luminous AGN (redshift 0.0355) with FIFI-LS onboard the airborne observatory SOFIA. We compare the…
Previous solar observations have shown that coronal loops near 1 MK are difficult to reconcile with simple heating models. These loops have lifetimes that are long relative to a radiative cooling time, suggesting quasi-steady heating. The…
EUV images of solar flares provided by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO/AIA) are often affected by saturation effects in their core, physically most interesting region. We introduce an image…
Accurate and precise photometric redshifts (photo-z's) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can enable the use of SNe Ia, measured only with photometry, to probe cosmology. This dramatically increases the science return of supernova surveys…
The Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on the Hinode spacecraft obtains high resolution spectra of the solar atmosphere in two wavelength ranges: 170 - 210 and 250 - 290 angstroms. These wavelength regions contain a wealth of…
The identifications of Fe VII emission lines in the wavelength range 193-197 {\AA} are discussed in the light of new measurements of laboratory spectra and atomic data calculations. This region is of importance to studies of solar spectra…
