Description
We calibrated the absolute magnitudes M V , M J , M_{Ks} and M g of red clump stars in terms of colours. M V and M g are strongly dependent on colour, while the dependence of M J and M_{Ks} on colour is rather weak. The calibration of the absolute magnitudes M V and M_{Ks} is tested on 101 RC stars in the field SA 141. The Galactic model parameters estimated with this sample are in good agreement with earlier studies.

Morphology and dynamics of the Milky Way
This project consists of two parts, each differentiated but both complementary: morphology and dynamics. Detailed study of the morphology of the Milky Way pretends to provide a data base for the stellar distribution in the most remote and heavily obscured regions of our Galaxy, through the development of semiempirical models based on the

    Planetary nebula evolution for single stellar models. The formation of neutral spikes
    Two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations are presented from the formation up to the late evolution of planetary nebula, for six different stellar models from 1 to 5 M $_{\odot }$. The hydrodynamical models use stellar evolution calculations as inner boundary conditions and updated values for the number of ionizing photons. Special emphasis is

    SN 2024bfu, SN 2025qe, and the early light curves of type Iax supernovae
    Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are one of the most common subclasses of thermonuclear supernova and yet their sample size, particularly those observed shortly after explosion, remains relatively small. In this paper, we present photometric and spectroscopic observations of two SNe Iax discovered shortly after explosion, SN 2024bfu and SN 2025qe

    Old, digitized astronomical images taken before the human spacefaring age offer a rare glimpse of the sky before the era of artificial satellites. In this paper, we present the first optical searches for artificial objects with high specular reflections near the Earth. We follow the method proposed in Villarroel et al. and use a transient sample
