Description
A programme of visible multi-colour monitoring of blazars was started in the Canary Islands in 1986. Infrared monitoring was added to the programme in 1988. The sample of objects to be observed is deliberately kept small to ensure that each one receives an acceptable level of light curve coverage. The programme was carried out using scheduled telescope time and a small amount of service observations. We describe the aims of the monitoring programme and show some of the results obtained.

    An ultra-short-period super-Earth with an extremely high density and an outer companion
    We present the discovery and characterization of a new multi-planetary system around the Sun-like star K2-360 (EPIC 201595106). K2-360 was first identified in K2 photometry as the host of an ultra-short-period (USP) planet candidate with a period of 0.88 d. We obtained follow-up transit photometry, confirming the star as the host of the signal

    CAVITY: Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury surveY: I. First public data release
    The Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury surveY (CAVITY) is a legacy project aimed at characterising the population of galaxies inhabiting voids, which are the most under-dense regions of the cosmic web, located in the Local Universe. This paper describes the first public data release (DR1) of CAVITY, comprising science-grade optical data cubes

    BOWIE-ALIGN: A JWST comparative survey of aligned versus misaligned hot Jupiters to test the dependence of atmospheric composition on migration history
    A primary objective of exoplanet atmosphere characterization is to learn about planet formation and evolution, however, this is challenged by degeneracies. To determine whether differences in atmospheric composition can be reliably traced to differences in evolution, we are undertaking a transmission spectroscopy survey with JWST to compare the
