Description
The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) is the most ambitious of the ELTs being planned. With a diameter of 42 m and being fully adaptive from the start, the E-ELT will be more than one hundred times more sensitive than the present-day largest optical telescopes. Discovering and characterising planets around other stars will be one of the most important aspects of the E-ELT science programme. We model an extreme adaptive optics instrument on the E-ELT. The resulting contrast curves translate to the detectability of exoplanets.

    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
