Descripción
Galaxies exhibit a wide variety of morphologies which are strongly related to their star formation histories. Having large samples of morphologically classified galaxies is fundamental to understand their formation and evolution. Morphological classification of galaxies based on visual inspection is extremely time consuming: an impossible task when dealing with the immense number of galaxy images (billions!) that future Big Data surveys such as LSST or EUCLID will release. Deep Learning algorithms (DL), which automatically extract high-level features at the pixel level, have been proven very successful in the last years for many different image recognition purposes. Here we show the excellent performance of DL algorithms to reproduce (or even improve) visual classification of galaxies for SDSS-DR7 images.The main results of this poster and the morphological catalogue with classifications for 670,000 SDSS-DR7 galaxies are presented in Domínguez Sánchez et al. (2018a).

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a
