Description
Quasars belong to the most energetic phenomena in the universe. Physical processes at the origin of them can be explained in the framework of the AGN unified scenario. The unified scenario predicts two classes of quasars, obscured and unobscured ones, depending on the orientation of the dusty torus which surrounds the central supermassive black hole. Variability is ubiquitous in AGN, and may be generated by several phenomena that would produce different footprints. Determining the nature and origin of the variability is a key subject to understand the differences between the different types of AGNs.

    JWST and cross-correlation techniques: A faster alternative for atmospheric studies
    The application of cross-correlation techniques to JWST transmission spectra has opened an alternate pathway to study exoplanet atmospheres with JWST observations, which will contribute to pave the road for the first atmospheric studies with ELTs. JWST observed for the first time the hot-Jupiter WASP-39b on July 2022 as part of the JWST Transiting

    The population of barred galaxies in the MACS J0647.8+7015 galaxy cluster at z=0.59
    We study the bar fraction in the MACS J0647.8+7015 cluster of galaxies at z=0.59 using the observations obtained with the NIRCam instrument mounted on the JWST telescope. We visually inspected the near infrared images obtained with the F200W filter of all the cluster members to identify the presence of bars. The cluster member selection was based

    Performance and first measurements of the MAGIC Stellar Intensity Interferometer
    In recent years, a technology developed between the 1950s and 1970s by the pioneering experiments of Hanbury Brown and Twiss has (re)emerged: the Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII). Unlike amplitude interferometry, SII exploits a second-order effect that can be measured by correlating the light intensities at different detectors without the
