Description
We are presenting the results from observations carried out at La Palma with the Nordic Optical Telescope, focused on studying the microvariability of obscured type 2 quasars. We investigate the connection between the microvariable events and the morphology of the studied targets. We also present a the detailed study of the techniques concerning the data reduction and the statistical analysis. Both of them play a crucial role in detecting the microvariable events in the light curves, since such detection requires a very precise measurements to be considered reliable. This data set extends the data from a similar campaign carried out in San Pedro Martir observatory in Mexico.

    The Undiscovered Ultra Diffuse galaxies of the Local Group: predictions from constrained cosmological simulations
    Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are attractive candidates to probe cosmological models and test theories of galaxy formation at low masses; however, they are difficult to detect because of their low surface brightness. In the Local Group a handful of UDGs have been found to date, most of which are satellites of the Milky Way and M31, and only two are

    Deriving Star Formation Histories of Galaxies from Spectra with Simulation-based Inference
    High-resolution galaxy spectra encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. By investigating the properties of these stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, we can gain insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time, in particular, the triggers

    A Combined Analysis of Jeans Kinematics and Milli-Second Pulsar Timing Effects: Probing the Mass Contents of Omega Centauri
    We explore the interplay between Jeans analyses of velocity dispersions and millisecond-pulsar (MSP) timing measurements that trace line-of-sight accelerations to analyze the kinematics of Omega Centauri, performing the first combined analysis of its kind. By using HST proper motion data and recent MSP kinematic measurements, we are able to tightly
