Descripción
We have been undertaking a monitoring project of 13 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) using FT North since early 2006. The introduction of FT South has allowed us to extend this monitoring to include 15 southern hemisphere LMXBs (see Figure 1). With new instrumentation, we also intend to expand this monitoring to include both infrared wavelengths and spectroscopy.

    Inferring stellar population properties from HST+JWST photometry using Normalizing Flows
    Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) 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. For this purpose, we

    The importance of professional role models and changing stereotypes in fostering STEM vocations
    Recent studies show that in Europe we are losing women's talent in some key disciplines for the future, particularly those directly related to astronomy. In order to get more girls and young women interested in the so-called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields, it is necessary to change the highly entrenched stereotypes

    Mass and radius determination of young planets and the implications for their gas envelope evolution
    Despite thousands of extrasolar planets discovered to date, the dominant mechanisms forming planets and the timescales of planetary migration and atmospheric evaporation remain to be probed observationally. To shed light on these mechanisms, we performed a combined photometric and spectroscopic analysis of several young transiting systems at
