Description
The MAGIC Telescope is the only IACT suited for the observation of GRBs. Thanks to its fast repositioning time and low energy threshold, MAGIC has been able to perform observations of the prompt and early afterglow emission of several GRBs. Since the beginning of operations of Swift the GRB scenario has changed, both for what concerns the statistics of alerts and for the new discoveries on the delayed emission. Here we present the new expectations of observation in the so called "Swift era" and the scientific results of two years of GRB observation by the MAGIC Telescope.

    Evaluating hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation with a variance analysis of optical spectra
    Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, such as EAGLE and IllustrisTNG, provide valuable insights when coupled with high-quality survey data, enhancing our comprehension of galaxy evolution. In this work, we adopt a variance analysis of subsets of continuum-subtracted Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra by Sharbaf+2023 and evaluate equivalent

    From metal-poor to metal-rich: new insights on Milky Way bar, bulge and disc with machine learning and Gaia.
    Machine Learning applications such as the hybrid-CNN (Guigluon et al. 2024) allows to homogeneously combine Gaia RVS spectra, photometry (G, BP, RP), parallaxes and the XP coefficients to obtain precise stellar parameters down to S/N=15. In this contribution, I will focus on the scientific applications and new results facilitated by this machine

    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs in the Euclid era
    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs (ultracool subdwarfs, including very-low-mass stars and brown dwarfs) are tracers of the pristine chemical composition at early phases in the assembly of the Milky Way. They are poorly understood because they are extremely faint and rare. Our aims are to improve the knowledge of ultracool subdwarf candidates, to break
