Description
The Department of Detectors of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, Spain is developing a data acquisition system (DAS) for an infrared camera based in a 256 X 256 InSb detector. The camera is going to work from 1 to 5 microns wavelength, with a scale on the sky of 0.5 arcsec per pixel, and will be installed as a common user instrument at the Carlos Sanchez Telescope in the Observatorio del Teide (Canary Island, Spain). A multiprocessor architecture has been chosen for the DAS, due to the very tight requirements on real time processing, and high speed storage capability (20 images per second readout rate, 2 images per second storage rate). The complete system is split into two main parts, the front end electronics and the user workstation. They are interconnected through an ETHERNET link.

    The derivation of precise stellar ages is considered the current major challenge to reconstruct the chronological chain of events that shaped the Milky Way (MW). Despite much effort and hope have been deposited in upcoming asteroseismology works, we have shown that CMD-fitting already offers an alternative to age determinations via the derivation

    Multicolour photometry with Plato
    Simultaneous multicolor photometry is an important source of observational data providing priceless information on different physical processes that cannot be obtained in other ways. It can provide modal identification for classical pulsators, information about the stellar spots structure, or clues for identifying false positives in exoplanetary

    Star Formation Histories of Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster
    Given their low surface brightness, it is hard to determine high-quality spectra of dwarf galaxies outside the Local Group, where it is not possible to study the individual stars. Although several studies exist that use absorption line lengths to study the stellar populations of dwarf galaxies, studies of the Star Formation Histories in these
