Description
We discuss methods and preliminary results in a search for variable stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. This galaxy presents a complex star formation history and hosts a unique sample of variable stars. We collected B,V time series data during different runs, from 1999 to 2004, with the MOSAICII camera available at 4m CTIO telescope. The methodology is based on correlations between a version of the Welch-Stetson variability index, the variability probability of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, and general statistical parameters associated with the individual light curves.

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A

    Unveiling Chiron, an odd ice ball, with Webb: Ice and Gas Phases Revealed
    We present unprecedented findings on (2060) Chiron using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec imaging and spectroscopy from cycle 1 GTO program 1273. Our study (Pinilla-Alonso et al. 2024 A&A Letter) marks the first detection of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) active outgassing and coma emission at heliocentric distances of ~18 au

    Conceptual optical design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST), with its primary mirror of 4.2 diameter, will be the largest solar telescope available in Europe. EST will offer Integral Field Spectropolarimetry (IFS) by incorporating the EST spectropolariMeter Based on slicEr-mirrors for the near-infraRed (EMBER). This instrument is a high-resolution spectropolarimeter that
