Rubin-LSST will provide an unprecedented combination of time coverage, 6-bands photometric depth and spatial extension for a variety of environments. In particular, crowded stellar fields (the Galactic Plane and Bulge, Galactic Globular Clusters, the Magellanic Clouds) will be of particular interest for a relevant part of the Community that

The search for and characterization of exoplanets are among the most active and rapidly advancing fields in modern astrophysics. The initial caution after the first bewildering discoveries has given way to a succession of discoveries with neck-breaking pace. To date, more than 4000 exoplanets have been detected, spanning wide ranges in physical

Sunspots are the most evident manifestations of solar magnetism, and oscillations are a fundamental physical process taking place in them. Despite the efforts over the last 50 years, a global picture of sunspot oscillations remains elusive. The goal of this project is to develop a thorough analysis of sunspot waves, from the solar interior to the

Open clusters are groups of stars, from a few hundreds to several thousands of stars, which have formed from the same molecular cloud. They represent very important entities in our Galaxy to understand star formation and evolution because their members share similar distance, age and metallicity. This year our group has studied four of the closest

The objectives of the preparatory phase for EST are: (1) to explore possible legal frameworks and related governance schemes that can be used by agencies to jointly establish, construct and operate EST as a new research infrastructure, with the implementation of an intermediate temporary organisational structure, as a previous step for future

The project aims to observationally exploit X-ray binaries, a research line in which our group it is one of the world leaders. These stellar systems, composed of a black hole (or a neutron star) and a solar-like star (companion), are unique laboratories to explore the behaviour of the matter and radiation under the most extreme gravitational fields
