Description
We have analyzed the structure of bulges of early-to intermediate-type spirals, on nuclear and global scales, using HST NIR imaging together with ground-based NIR imaging. The goals are (a) to see whether results on bulge structure derived from ground-based, 1" FWHM seeing data remain valid when high-resolution HST data are used; (2) to compare nuclear properties of bulges to those of ellipticals; and (3) to provide bulge-disk scaling relations based on accurate profile decompositions employing the HST data. Details are presented in Balcells et al. (2003, 2004a, 2004b).

    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
