Description
Superjupiters are much brigther when they are young and still contracting, and the contrast with the harboring stars is significantly more favorable for their detection. Within the JOVIAN (Jupiter-like Objects in the Visible and the Infrared: Astrophysical Nature) project, a search has been performed for superjupiters around nearby young stars using 4 m class telescopes. Here we summarize the results and present prospects for a future search around young and also relatively older nearby stars with the 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the mid-infrared camera CanariCam.

    European Solar telescope preliminary optical design
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be part of the next generation of ground-based solar telescopes. With a primary mirror of 4.2 meters, it will be the largest solar telescope ever built in Europe offering a large collecting area and extremely sharp images, due to the Adaptive Optics (AO) system integrated within the optical path to compensate

    Magnetic activity of red giants: linking chromospheric indicators, oscillations amplitude, and tidal interactions
    According to dynamo theory, stars with convective envelopes efficiently generate surface magnetic fields, which manifest as magnetic activity in the form of starspots, faculae, and/or flares, when their rotation period is shorter than their convective turnover time. Most red giants, having undergone significant spin down while expanding, have slow

    GLACE survey: a window on the evolution of galaxies within clusters. Revealing galaxy evolution within Zw Cl0024.0+1652
    The GLACE (GaLAxy Cluster Evolution) survey represents a groundbreaking effort to explore the evolution of galaxies within galaxy clusters. Using data from the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC), GLACE investigates emission line galaxies (ELGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosts across various redshifts. Recent observations within the ZwCl 0024
