Nuclear star clusters (NSC) are dense and compact stellar systems with sizes of a few parsecs located at galactic centers. Their properties and formation mechanisms seem to be tightly linked to the evolution of the host galaxy, with potentially different formation channels for late- and early-type galaxies (LTGs and ETGs). While most observations

ASASSN-24fw, monitored by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae, underwent a rapid and deep dimming event beginning in late 2024 and lasting until 2025 June. The pre-dimming spectral energy distribution indicates that ASASSN-24fw is an F-type main-sequence star with a persistent infrared excess, corresponding to a fractional luminosity of

The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is an ongoing observational programme aiming to map thousands of square degrees in the Northern Hemisphere. By combining 56 narrow-band photometric filters with a wide field of view, the survey delivers high-quality, integral-field-unit (IFU) like data suitable for

Sub-Neptunes with planetary radii of R p ≃ 2─4 R ⊕ are the most common planets around solar-type stars in short-period (P < 100 d) orbits. It is still unclear, however, what their most likely composition is, that is whether they are predominantly gas dwarfs or water worlds. The sub-Neptunes orbiting bright host stars are very valuable because they

Context. The Javalambre VARiability survey (J-VAR) is a multi-filter photometric survey conducted at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre, covering selected regions of the northern sky, and providing time-domain information for the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) fields. J-VAR primarily focuses on small bodies of the

The European Astronomical Society (EAS) is a society of professional astronomers working in Europe, with currently around 2500 members. It is supported by a network of affiliated societies: close to 30 national societies in most countries in Europe. Among other activities, the EAS organises an annual meeting which attracts well over 1000
