The search of Earth-like extrasolar planets approaches a key moment in its history. With the arrival of ESPRESSO (observing already!), the possibility of...
The Sigma Orionis cluster: from 20 Msun to free-floating planets
For the first time, we present the low-mass function of the entire young star cluster Sigma Orionis (3 Myr, 352 pc, no internal extinction) from 0.25 Msun...
The small scale angular anisotropy at 145 GHz as seen by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has been observing the southern sky in the millimeter range with an angular resolution at the arc-minute level. An...
The chromosphere is the interface between the photospheric solar surface and the outer corona and wind. In this complex domain thesolar gas becomes transparent...
The Spanish participation in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project intends to build a radio-interferometer with 1-sq-km collecting area, and thousands of antennas with baselines up to...
The Square Kilometre Array: the radio telescope of the XXI century
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope. It will address fundamental unanswered questions about our...
The Star Formation & Chemical Evolution timescales of two nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies
We present the detailed Star Formation History of the nearby Sculptor and Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxies, from wide-field photometry of resolved stars, going...
The star formation history of different types of dwarf galaxies
We are going to present a new code to derive the SFH of a complex stellar population system, like a galaxy. This code has been used to obtain the SFH of six...
The star formation history of the Magellanic Clouds
The Magellanic Clouds are the closest star forming galaxies, and their star formation histories can be derived in great details from color-magnitude diagrams...
