Description
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) claims that the properties of AGN depend on the viewing angle of the observer with respect to a toroidal distribution of dust surrounding the nucleus. Both the mid-infrared (MIR) attenuation and continuum luminosity are therefore expected to be related to dust associated with the torus. We have compiled all the T-ReCS spectra (Gemini observatory) available in the N-band for 22 AGN: 5 Type-1 and 17 Type-2 AGN. We have used a novel pipeline called RedCan capable of producing flux- and wavelength-calibrated spectra for the CanariCam and T-ReCS instruments. We have also compiled Spitzer/IRS spectra for them. We have studied the star-formation and obscuration properties of our sample of AGN as seen in the MIR.

    Multi-epoch precise photometry from the ground: MUDEHaR, magnetic O stars and everything around
    MUDEHaR has completed its first of five years of project, and all the information is already available for exploitation. MUDEHaR is a multi-epoch photometric survey with two narrow filters in Hα and the calcium triplet window that uses T80Cam at the JAST80 telescope at Javalambre spanish astronomical observatory. It is obtaining ~50 epochs/year per

    Observed Structural Properties of UDGs
    Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have been one of the latest hypes in the extragalactic community. Although discovered a few decades ago, only recently we have had the opportunity to start grasping their nature thanks to deep photometric observations and, more challengingly, spectroscopic ones. From different properties ranging from their dark matter

    Constraining atmospheric evaporation timescales on young planets with systematic H and He transmission observations
    During the early stages of planetary formation, planets undergo strong changes in their physical and orbital properties due to internal and external forces, which also affect their primordial atmospheres composed mainly of H and He. The study of planets in these early stages and their comparison with the more mature planet population is crucial for
