Description
New ground based observing opportunities are becoming, or about to become, available to astronomers for QSO research. These, combined with state of the art focal plane instruments, provide unprecedented sensitivity for detecting faint surface brightness features. During the talk I will take the liberty of talking about one of these new large telescope facilities currently being built in Spain, and will discuss some of the advantages for QSO research offered by these new facilities.

    ChronoGal: Unveiling the secrets of our Galaxy through stellar ages from Gaia Colour-Magnitude Diagrams
    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
