Descripción
We report here the first results of an extensive optical/near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic study of massive stellar clusters in Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies using observations obtained from KPNO (USA), OAN (Mexico), the HST and the 2MASS data archive. We have collected spectra, B-imagery and 2MASS JHK imagery of approximately 60 prominent stellar clusters in 23 WR galaxies. One-third of the clusters have a WR stellar signature at HeIIλ4686. In this poster, we present the comparison of the derived ages and masses of clusters with WR stars (WRCs) against clusters not containing WR stars (nWRCs). The results show that the mean age of the WRCs distribution is 5.2 ± 1.8 Myr and 6.4 ± 2 Myr for the nWRCs. The mean ages of the two cluster groups are not statistically different. The WRCs masses appear to be more evenly distributed than the nWRC masses and one typically finds that the WRC mass in a particular galaxy is larger than the nWRC mass.

    Witnessing the rapid growth of disk galaxies over cosmic time
    The Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, with their outstanding depth and spatial resolution, are opening up the possibility of studying the edges of disk galaxies over a significant cosmic time interval. This allows us to study in detail the evolution of galaxy edges over the past 8 Gyr. The edge of galaxies, understood here as the farthest

    The mysterious U-shape of colour profiles observed in ultra-deep imaging of disk galaxies
    It has been 20 years since the classification of galaxy disk types observed in deep imaging was established. These classifications, which notably consist of pure exponential, truncated, and antitruncated, have significantly enriched our understanding of the structural diversity within galaxies. Using ultra-deep imaging, most spiral galaxy profiles

    JWST and cross-correlation techniques: A faster alternative for atmospheric studies
    The application of cross-correlation techniques to JWST transmission spectra has opened an alternate pathway to study exoplanet atmospheres with JWST observations, which will contribute to pave the road for the first atmospheric studies with ELTs. JWST observed for the first time the hot-Jupiter WASP-39b on July 2022 as part of the JWST Transiting
