    In this work were generated synthetic spectra with shape effect, determining its spectral parameters: the center of the absorption bands, the ratio of the bands and the spectral slope. It has been shown that only the slope ...
  • PAES BENGALY JUNIOR, CARLOS ANDRE (Observatorio NacionalDivisão de Programas de Pós-Graduação - DIPPGBrasilONPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Astronomia, 2016-12-16)
    In this work, we probe the validity of the cosmological isotropy hypothesis, which constitutes one of the main pillars of the Cosmological Principle, in the light of current observational data. We search for possible ...
  • DE JESUS RONDON BRICENO, EDUARDO (Observatorio NacionalDivisão de Programas de Pós-Graduação - DIPPGBrasilONPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Astronomia, 2016-12-21)
    Seventeen asteroids of the main belt and three near earth asteroids have shown cometary activity. These objects have been called Active Asteroids (AA) (Jewitt, 2012). The physical source of their activity can be diverse; ...
