Descripción
We present a deep multicolor NIR survey that we are currently undertaking at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (Spain). The aim of the survey is obtain deep star counts in selected areas distributed along the Galactic plane to analyze the large scale structure of the Milky Way and the galactic components, in particular the Galactic bar. We are at least one magnitude deeper than in 2MASS and DENIS Galactic surveys, and even more in the inner Galaxy, as we are less limited by source confusion. This provides a better analysis of those regions where the extinction is higher.

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
