Description
The measurements of cosmic rays electrons (e±) have begun a new era a few years ago with high precision experiments like PAMELA and Fermi-LAT. Both experiments show an excess above 10 GeV. Studying Fermi-LAT data, the total electron flux seems to be steeper than expected. While these new measurements have not closed the debate, results from AMS-02 are expected to reach the accuracy needed to determine a full description of these excesses, and hopefully give some evidence on the possible source. We will present in this paper, the AMS-02 capacity in the case of positrons produced by pulsars.

    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
