The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be the biggest solar telescope in Europe and it is currently concluding its preliminary design that includes adaptive optics from its first light. In this phase of the project, the feasibility of the project is demonstrated and the design must meet the requirements after having mitigated the major risks. The

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) winds and jets are potential drivers of multi-phase outflows and can significantly modify the interstellar medium (ISM) properties of their host galaxies. The Quasar Feedback (QSOFEED) project aims to investigate the impact of multi-phase quasar-driven outflows and jets on the nuclear regions of quasar host galaxies

High-resolution galaxy spectra encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. By investigating the properties of these stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, we can gain insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time, in particular, the triggers
