In the pursuit of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the field of Astrophysics and High Energy Physics, a group of young researchers at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) and the Institute of Cosmos Science (ICCUB), under the scope of the DEI-ICCUB commission, has built a mentoring program for students in the Master of Astrophysics

We have employed a novel way to measure the distance to NGC1052-DF2, using the internal stellar velocity dispersions (σ) of its globular clusters (GCs). We obtained deep (15.1 h), R = 18 200, calcium triplet integrated-light spectra for 10 GCs in NGC1052-DF2 using FLAMES GIRAFFE on VLT. For five GCs, we measured the σ values, along with precision

We report the discovery of BD+05 4868 Ab, a transiting exoplanet orbiting a bright (V = 10.16) K-dwarf (TIC 466376085) with a period of 1.27 days. Observations from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite reveal variable transit depths and asymmetric transit profiles that are characteristic of comet-like tails formed by dusty effluents

The completeness of stellar spectral libraries across all evolutionary phases, parameter space and chemical abundances, is essential to build more sophisticated stellar population synthesis models to decode information from galaxy spectra. On the one hand, due to distinct nucleosynthesis channels, the comparison between magnesium and calcium can

We have generated 2D-multicomponent surface brightness (SB) modelling for 100 galaxies in the Large Galaxy Atlas (LGA) together with 19 nearby cD galaxies using the near-infrared (NIR) images from 2MASS ( $J, H, {\, \rm and}\, K_s$). Our final sample of 119 galaxies includes cD galaxies, Virgo cluster galaxies, group galaxies, and field galaxies

This Primer provides an overview of a fundamental set of analysis methods for studying waves, vibrations and related oscillatory phenomena — including instabilities, turbulence and shocks — across diverse scientific fields. These phenomena are ubiquitous, from astrophysics to complex systems in terrestrial environments, and understanding them
