X-ray study of local infrared bright galaxies
Jiménez-Bailón, E.; Santos-Lleo, M.; Rieke, G. H. +3 more
We are carrying out detailed study of the X-ray and infrared (IR) properties of a sample of local (d < 70 Mpc) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) using XMM-Newton and Spitzer (imaging and spectroscopy). The main goal is to study the extreme processes of star formation and/or active galactic nuclei (AGN) taking place in this cosmologically impor…
New results from ground-based observations of asteroid 21 Lutetia prior to the Rosetta fly-by
Lara, L. M.; Duffard, R.; de León, J.
On its journey to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the International Rosetta Mission (ESA) was planned to fly-by two asteroids: (2867) Steins and (21) Lutetia. (21) Lutetia was encountered on July 10th 2010. Although classified as an M-type asteroid due to its high albedo, its reflectance spectrum in the near and mid-infrared region, suggests a pr…
