Description
We present new tools for improving our abilities for disentangling relevant stellar population parameters in early-type galaxies. To develop these tools we use stellar population synthesis models predicting spectra for old and intermediate-aged stellar populations at moderately high resolution. We propose new indices to lift the age/metallicity degeneracy, which do not need to be restricted to standard spectroscopic definitions. We use this methodology to explore various approaches that might provide further clues on galaxy formation and evolution.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet

    Contrast optimization in wide-field AO
    In Solar Adaptive Optics (AO), it is common to work with a wide Field of View (FoV), which necessitates special control techniques to enhance system performance. Ground-Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) configurations lack sufficient degrees of freedom to correct altitude layers individually, resulting in an averaged correction across the entire FoV. In
