Description
OSIRIS is the optical Day One instrument, and so far the only Spanish instrument, currently operating at the GTC. Building and testing an instrument for a 8-10m-class telescope with nonprevious commissioning in turn, has represented a truly unique experience. In this contribution, the current status, the last commissioning results and some future prospects are given.

    The Galactic underdogs: characterizing a population of metal-poor stars with disc kinematics in the Milky Way
    To deepen our knowledge of the early history of the Milky Way, it is of particular interest to investigate the orbital and chemical properties of the most metal-poor stars, which are commonly associated with the oldest stars in our Universe. With the advent of astrometric (Gaia), spectroscopic (APOGEE, GALAH, LAMOST, Gaia-RVS), and photometric

    Inferring stellar population properties from HST+JWST photometry using Normalizing Flows
    Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. By investigating the properties of these stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, we can gain insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time. For this purpose, we
