Description
Recently, the discoveries of several nova candidates in M31 have been reported (ATEL #3735, #3976, and #3987), but there have been no spectroscopic confirmations. To classify these objects, we obtained narrow-band H-alpha, Sloan r', and Sloan i'-band CCD images of the central region of M31 using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) + WFC at La Palma under ~1.2" seeing on May 22.198 - 22.216 UT.

    ChronoGal: Unveiling the secrets of our Galaxy through stellar ages from Gaia Colour-Magnitude Diagrams
    The derivation of precise stellar ages is considered the current major challenge to reconstruct the chronological chain of events that shaped the Milky Way (MW). Despite much effort and hope have been deposited in upcoming asteroseismology works, we have shown that CMD-fitting already offers an alternative to age determinations via the derivation

    Multicolour photometry with Plato
    Simultaneous multicolor photometry is an important source of observational data providing priceless information on different physical processes that cannot be obtained in other ways. It can provide modal identification for classical pulsators, information about the stellar spots structure, or clues for identifying false positives in exoplanetary

    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
