Descripción
We have performed a spectropolarimetric survey of the variable Mira star omicron Ceti along three pulsation cycles. We present those new data collected with the Narval instrument mounted on the Telescope Bernard Lyot (TBL) in Pic du Midi, France. We have detected time variable polarimetric signatures (on QUV Stokes spectra) associated with Balmer hydrogen emission lines supposed to be formed behind the front of a shock wave propagating throughout the stellar atmosphere. We associate the linear polarization of Balmer emission lines in Mira stars to the presence and the structure of the radiative shock wave.

    Star Formation Histories of Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster
    Given their low surface brightness, it is hard to determine high-quality spectra of dwarf galaxies outside the Local Group, where it is not possible to study the individual stars. Although several studies exist that use absorption line lengths to study the stellar populations of dwarf galaxies, studies of the Star Formation Histories in these

    An extreme ultra-diffuse galaxy with the mass of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Extremely faint galaxies (mu_V>27 mag/arcsec^2), have only been discovered in the Local Group. These galaxies are very low in mass (tens of 10^5 Msun) and compact (effective radius <1 kpc). These objects populate the least massive dark matter haloes capable of producing stars, providing us with valuable insights into the nature of star formation at

    Unveiling galaxy protoclusters in the era of Euclid
    How large-scale structures formed in the early universe is a key cosmological question with few answers from empirical evidence. Unveiling galaxy clusters and their high-z progenitors (i.e., protoclusters) is essential to picture galaxy evolution drawn by the hierarchical formation scenario. However, unveiling these early structures at high
