Description
We present age and metallicity determinations for 49 star clusters in the SMC from Washington CT1 photometry and integrated spectra. Two of the observed clusters resulted to be relatively old object (age ~ 6.5 Gyr). In addition, we confirm that the further a cluster is from the center of the galaxy, the older and more metal-poor it is, with some dispersion; although clusters associated with the Magellanic bridge clearly do not obey the general trend. The number of clusters within ~ 2 degrees of the SMC center appears to have increased substantially after ~ 2.5 Gyr ago, hinting at a burst. FULL TEXT IN SPANISH

    European Solar telescope preliminary optical design
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be part of the next generation of ground-based solar telescopes. With a primary mirror of 4.2 meters, it will be the largest solar telescope ever built in Europe offering a large collecting area and extremely sharp images, due to the Adaptive Optics (AO) system integrated within the optical path to compensate

    JWST and cross-correlation techniques: A faster alternative for atmospheric studies
    The application of cross-correlation techniques to JWST transmission spectra has opened an alternate pathway to study exoplanet atmospheres with JWST observations, which will contribute to pave the road for the first atmospheric studies with ELTs. JWST observed for the first time the hot-Jupiter WASP-39b on July 2022 as part of the JWST Transiting

    Star Formation Histories of Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster
    Given their low surface brightness, it is hard to determine high-quality spectra of dwarf galaxies outside the Local Group, where it is not possible to study the individual stars. Although several studies exist that use absorption line lengths to study the stellar populations of dwarf galaxies, studies of the Star Formation Histories in these
