Description
We have obtained low resolution infrared spectra of 21 brown dwarf candidates, selected from a survey performed at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The spectra were obtained at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (La Palma), using the NICS spectrometer in the Amici configuration, which allows to observe the range 0.85-2.45 micron in a single shot. The bands shown by most of the spectra confirm that we are dealing with low effective temperature objects. Preliminary results of spectral classification are presented.

    The population of barred galaxies in the MACS J0647.8+7015 galaxy cluster at z=0.59
    We study the bar fraction in the MACS J0647.8+7015 cluster of galaxies at z=0.59 using the observations obtained with the NIRCam instrument mounted on the JWST telescope. We visually inspected the near infrared images obtained with the F200W filter of all the cluster members to identify the presence of bars. The cluster member selection was based

    JWST and cross-correlation techniques: A faster alternative for atmospheric studies
    The application of cross-correlation techniques to JWST transmission spectra has opened an alternate pathway to study exoplanet atmospheres with JWST observations, which will contribute to pave the road for the first atmospheric studies with ELTs. JWST observed for the first time the hot-Jupiter WASP-39b on July 2022 as part of the JWST Transiting

    Distances to globular cluster-rich UDGs: The case of NGC1052-DF2
    Some ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are known to host very large globular cluster (GC) systems, clearly exceeding the expectations for galaxies with such low stellar mass and density and thereby challenging our understanding of star cluster formation and its connection to galaxy evolution. As bright point-sources, GCs in UDGs have been used as
