Descripción
Superjupiters are much brigther when they are young and still contracting, and the contrast with the harboring stars is significantly more favorable for their detection. Within the JOVIAN (Jupiter-like Objects in the Visible and the Infrared: Astrophysical Nature) project, a search has been performed for superjupiters around nearby young stars using 4 m class telescopes. Here we summarize the results and present prospects for a future search around young and also relatively older nearby stars with the 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the mid-infrared camera CanariCam.

    Localised and transient impact of nuclear activity on the central kiloparsec of galaxies
    Observational and theoretical evidence supports the idea that the influence of supermassive black hole growth on galaxies extends from the central tens of parsecs (localised, transient impact) to hundreds of kiloparsecs (global, long-term impact). Because of the completely different scales of these localised and global effects on the host galaxies

    Ultra-deep imaging of NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4 to unravel their origins
    A number of scenarios have been proposed to explain the low velocity dispersion (and hence possible absence of dark matter) of the low surface brightness galaxies NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4. Most of the proposed mechanisms are based on the removal of dark matter via the interaction of these galaxies with other objects. A common feature of these

    Insights from super-metal-rich stars: Is the Milky Way bar young?
    Context: Bar formation and merger events can contribute to the rearrangement of stars within the Galaxy in addition to triggering star formation (SF) epochs. Super-metal-rich (SMR) stars found in the solar neighbourhood (SNd) can be used as tracers of such events as they are expected to originate only in the inner Galaxy and to have definitely
