Descripción
We compare the host galaxies properties of BL Lac objects with those of radio loud quasars (RLQs) imaged by the WFPC2 on board of HST. The considered objects (z<0.5) are always well resolved and their host galaxies satisfactorily modelled by ellipticals. After homogeneous treatment of the data we find RLQs hosts are systematically more luminous (by ~0.7 mag) with respect to the hosts of BL Lacs. Using the M_BH - L_bulge relation, derived for nearby elliptical galaxies, we have evaluated the central black hole masses of our sample of active galaxies. These data are discussed in conjunction with the nuclear luminosity and the Eddington ratio.

    The mysterious globular cluster population of NGC5846-UDG1 (MATLAS-2019)
    The number of globular clusters plays a fundamental role in understanding the early stages of galaxy formation. We know that the GC population of normal galaxies correlates with the amount of dark matter in these objects. Extending this analysis to the number of globulars in very low surface brightness galaxies is therefore key to understanding the

    MARVEL - an array of four telescopes feeding a stabilised spectrograph for high-precision radial velocities of stars
    Mercator Array for Radial VELocities (MARVEL) is an ensemble of four 80-cm off the shelf telescopes feeding a single stabilised high-resolution (R>90 000) echelle spectrograph. The facility is currently under construction and will be located on La Palma (Canary Islands), next to the Mercator telescope. The facility is designed such that the four
