Description
The ALHAMBRA photometric system was specifically designed to perform a
tomography of the Universe in some selected areas. Although mainly
designed for extragalactic purposes, its 20 contiguous, equal-width,
medium-band photometric system in the optical wavelength range, shows a
great capacity for stellar classification. In this contribution we
propose a methodology for stellar classification and physical parameter
estimation (Teff, log g, [Fe/H], and color excess E(B -
V)) based on 18 independent reddening-free Q-values from the ALHAMBRA
photometry. Based on the theoretical Spectral library BaSeL 2.2, and
applied to 288 stars from the Next Generation spectral Library (NGSL),
we discuss the reliability of the method and its dependence on the
extinction law used.

Galaxies in the universe can be located in different environments, some of them are isolated or in low density regions and they are usually called field galaxies. The others can be located in galaxy associations, going from loose groups to clusters or even superclusters of galaxies. One of the foremost challenges of the modern Astrophysics is to
