Description
The description of the Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment (IMaX) is presented in this contribution. This is a magnetograph which will fly by the end of 2006 on a stratospheric balloon, together with other instruments (to be described elsewhere). Especial emphasis is put on the scientific requirements to obtain diffraction-limited visible magnetograms, on the optical design and several constraining characteristics, such as the wavelength tuning or the crosstalk between the Stokes parameters.

    The luminosity functions of an homogeneous sample of 50 young nearby open clusters
    Open clusters are groups of coeval stars sharing properties such as distance and metallicity, and they are key to understanding stellar evolution. We shed light on the evolution of open clusters with a special focus on the universality of the luminosity function. We applied an upgraded version of the convergent point technique on about 50 open

    Gas Flows in the Central Regions of NGC 4593 with Muse
    Gas flows into the centres of galaxies form an important ingredient to the formation, growth and evolution of galaxies. The process of gas falling into the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) can lead to high levels of non-stellar emission which results in an active galactic nucleus (AGN). However, the details of how such gas flows reach the

    The effect of local and large scale environment on star formation histories in galaxies
    The environment of galaxies plays a key role in their evolution. The availability of large extragalactic surveys makes it possible to place a galaxy not only in its immediate environment, but also in its position within the large-scale structure of the universe. Within this context, we investigate how the local environment influences the star
