Descripción
Climate diagnostic archives appears to be a very useful tool for astronomical site assessment. These climatological databases combine data from meteorological archives for different data sources (radiosoundings, satellites, etc) and meteorological models to derived any parameter at a particular selected location. Although the products from climate diagnostic archives are heavily constrained by observational data, a rigorous control of data quality, analysis and cross comparison needs to be performed before the method becomes extensively used for site characterisation. In this talk we present an statistical analysis of winds, an important parameter for site characterisation, using in-situ measurements (ground level and balloon data) and data derive from climate diagnostic archives. The cross-comparison of results obtained from the two set of data allow us to propose some restrictions in the use of climate diagnostic products for site characterisation.

    Application of Bayesian Inference to disentangle CMB foregrounds
    Both Galactic dust emission and Cosmic infrared background anisotropies (CIB) act as a dominant foreground contaminant for the measurements of the CMB anisotropies (intensity and polarization) at the frequency range above 217 GHz. The Galactic dust and CIB share a similar form of spectral energy distribution, which makes it harder to disentangle

    Constraining stellar and orbital co-evolution through ensemble seismology of solar-like oscillators in binary systems
    The evolution of stars and their hosting binary systems is a highly interactive process and cannot be investigated in a segregated manner. Due to the constraints drawn by stellar binarity, oscillating red-giant stars in binary systems represent a unique opportunity to study the details of the structure and evolution of stars in the advanced phases

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to
