Description
Rayleigh scattering produced in the lower atmosphere by laser launched from the ground, could be very relevant for performances of Laser Guide Stars systems and for light contamination measurements in other close telescopes. We have studied the scattering above Teide Observatory (Canary Islands) produced by a potassium laser. We show measurements during two weeks with different atmospheric transparencies, and got information about the variation of aerosol and dust related with altitude and the impact on other close telescopes.

    The luminosity functions of an homogeneous sample of 50 young nearby open clusters
    Open clusters are groups of coeval stars sharing properties such as distance and metallicity, and they are key to understanding stellar evolution. We shed light on the evolution of open clusters with a special focus on the universality of the luminosity function. We applied an upgraded version of the convergent point technique on about 50 open

    Gas Flows in the Central Regions of NGC 4593 with Muse
    Gas flows into the centres of galaxies form an important ingredient to the formation, growth and evolution of galaxies. The process of gas falling into the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) can lead to high levels of non-stellar emission which results in an active galactic nucleus (AGN). However, the details of how such gas flows reach the

    The effect of local and large scale environment on star formation histories in galaxies
    The environment of galaxies plays a key role in their evolution. The availability of large extragalactic surveys makes it possible to place a galaxy not only in its immediate environment, but also in its position within the large-scale structure of the universe. Within this context, we investigate how the local environment influences the star
