      Pieres, Adriano; Santiago, Basilio Xavier; DES Collaboration (2020) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present a technique to fit the stellar components of the Galaxy by comparing Hess Diagrams (HDs) generated from TRILEGAL models to real data. We apply this technique, which we call MWFITTING, to photometric data from ...
    • New detections of embedded clusters in the Galactic halo 

      Camargo, Denilso da Silva; Bica, Eduardo Luiz Damiani; Bonatto, Charles Jose (2016) [Artigo de periódico]
      Context. Until recently it was thought that high Galactic latitude clouds were a non-star-forming ensemble. However, in a previous study we reported the discovery of two embedded clusters (ECs) far away from the Galactic ...
    • Off-axis stability of intense continuous relativistic beams 

      Martins, Luciano Camargo; Rizzato, Felipe Barbedo; Pakter, Renato (2009) [Artigo de periódico]
      This paper investigates the stability of off-axis continuous intense relativistic beams propagating inside a circular conducting pipe. The equations of motion for the centroid and the envelope of slightly off-axis beams ...
    • Relaxation of intense inhomogeneous charged beams 

      Nunes, Roger Pizzato; Pakter, Renato; Rizzato, Felipe Barbedo; Endler, Antônio; Souza, Everton Granemann (2009) [Artigo de periódico]
      This work analyzes the dynamics of inhomogeneous, magnetically focused high intensity beams of charged particles. Initial inhomogeneities lead to density waves propagating transversely in the beam core, and the presence ...
    • SDSS-IV MaNGA : inside-out versus outside-in quenching of galaxies in different local environments 

      Lin, Lihwai; Hsieh, Bauching; Pan, Hsi An; Rembold, Sandro Barboza; Sánchez, Sebastián F.; Argudo-Fernández, Maria; Rowlands, Kate; Belfiore, Francesco; Bizyaev, D.; Lacerna, Ivan; Riffel, Rogério; Rong, Yu; Yuan, Fang; Drory, Niv; Maiolino, Roberto; Wilcots, Eric (2019) [Artigo de periódico]
      The large Integral Field Spectroscopy surveys have allowed the classification of ionizing sources of emission lines on sub-kiloparsec scales. In this work, we define two non-parametric parameters, quiescence (Fq) and its ...
