Description
We present a short summary of the activities developed by GUAIX, the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Group of Extragalactic Astrophysics and Astronomical Instrumentation. At present we are focused in the development of data reduction pipelines for several future instruments for the Spanish 10m GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias). The careful treatment of the random error propagation throughout the data reduction is one of the main improvements of those pipelines. The first hardware development leaded by the GUAIX group will be FISIR, a fully-cryogenic (optimized for the K band) tunable filter in the near-infrared, to be installed within CIRCE, a near-IR camera for GTC.

    Multi-epoch precise photometry from the ground: MUDEHaR, magnetic O stars and everything around
    MUDEHaR has completed its first of five years of project, and all the information is already available for exploitation. MUDEHaR is a multi-epoch photometric survey with two narrow filters in Hα and the calcium triplet window that uses T80Cam at the JAST80 telescope at Javalambre spanish astronomical observatory. It is obtaining ~50 epochs/year per

    Observed Structural Properties of UDGs
    Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have been one of the latest hypes in the extragalactic community. Although discovered a few decades ago, only recently we have had the opportunity to start grasping their nature thanks to deep photometric observations and, more challengingly, spectroscopic ones. From different properties ranging from their dark matter

    Constraining atmospheric evaporation timescales on young planets with systematic H and He transmission observations
    During the early stages of planetary formation, planets undergo strong changes in their physical and orbital properties due to internal and external forces, which also affect their primordial atmospheres composed mainly of H and He. The study of planets in these early stages and their comparison with the more mature planet population is crucial for
