OMC: An Optical Monitoring Camera for INTEGRAL

The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) will observe the optical emission from the prime targets of the gammaray instruments onboard the ESA mission INTEGRAL, with the support of the JEM-X monitor in the X-ray domain. This capability will provide invaluable diagnostic information on the nature and the physics of the sources over a broad wavelength range. Its main scientific objectives are: (1) to monitor the optical emission from the sources observed by the gamma- and X-ray instruments, measuring the time and intensity structure of the optical emission for comparison with variability at high energies, and (2) to provide the brightness and position of the optical counterpart of any gamma- or X-r…

Aspectos paleontológicos del Muschelkalk de la zona de Calanda (Provincia de Teruel)

El hallazgo de numerosos fósiles en el Muschelkalk superior del anticlinal de Calanda, motivó la realización de un muestreo detallado del mismo, así como el estudio de su bio-microfacies. Referente a la macrofauna, se hallan bien representados los bivalvos y en general con buen estado de conservación. Las especies Pseudocorbula gregaria (MUSTER), Placunopsis teruelensis WURM, Lakevellia subcostata (GOLDFUSS), Modiolus myoconchaeformis (PHILIPPI) y Gervillia joleaudi (SCHMIDT) son elementos muy característicos de las «Capas de Royuela» que constituyen los niveles terminales del Muschelkalk en toda la Cordillera Ibérica. Se hallan, aunque con menor número de ejemplares las especies Entolium d…
