Description
The paper presents isophotal maps of the distribution of the flux emitted by transitions of various molecular species in the spectrum of Comet Halley at a heliocentric distance of 1.92 AU, after perihelion. The observations were made at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, in La Palma, using the RGO Image Photon Counting System attached to the RGO Cassegrain Spectrograph. This contribution is a part of a more general program, which aims to study the production rates of a number of species and its variation with heliocentric distance. To this end, multiposition spectrophotometry was taken of the comet in the visible, which extends over a range of heliocentric distances from 1.5 to 5 AU.

    Evaluating hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation with a variance analysis of optical spectra
    Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, such as EAGLE and IllustrisTNG, provide valuable insights when coupled with high-quality survey data, enhancing our comprehension of galaxy evolution. In this work, we adopt a variance analysis of subsets of continuum-subtracted Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra by Sharbaf+2023 and evaluate equivalent

    From metal-poor to metal-rich: new insights on Milky Way bar, bulge and disc with machine learning and Gaia.
    Machine Learning applications such as the hybrid-CNN (Guigluon et al. 2024) allows to homogeneously combine Gaia RVS spectra, photometry (G, BP, RP), parallaxes and the XP coefficients to obtain precise stellar parameters down to S/N=15. In this contribution, I will focus on the scientific applications and new results facilitated by this machine

    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs in the Euclid era
    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs (ultracool subdwarfs, including very-low-mass stars and brown dwarfs) are tracers of the pristine chemical composition at early phases in the assembly of the Milky Way. They are poorly understood because they are extremely faint and rare. Our aims are to improve the knowledge of ultracool subdwarf candidates, to break
