Description
We report on high resolution Halpha spectroscopy and time-resolved photometry of the optical counterpart to the X-ray transient Swift J1357.2-0933 in outburst (Krimm et al. ATEL #3138). SPECTROSCOPY: Six 30-33 min spectra were obtained on the nights of 2011 Feb 25-27 using the IDS Spectrograph on the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos. The observations were performed with the H1800V grating and a slit width 1.6 arcsec to yield a spectral coverage of 6270-7000 Angs with a 30 km/s FWHM spectral resolution at Halpha..

    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
