Descripción
The Milky Way satellites offer the possibility of studying their star formation histories in great detail. Color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) reaching the old main-sequence turnoffs, allow a careful modelling of their stellar populations using synthetic CMDs, and spectroscopy of the brightest stars, provides a direct measurement of their metallicity. Here I present new wide field, old main sequence turnoff photometry of the LMC and Fornax, and briefly discuss preliminary results of a CaII triplet spectroscopy study of metallicities of individual stars in Fornax.

    Self-supervised component separation for the extragalactic submillimetre sky
    We use a new approach based on self-supervised deep learning networks originally applied to transparency separation in order to simultaneously extract the components of the extragalactic submillimeter sky, namely the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the cosmic infrared background (CIB), and the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. In this proof-of

    Optical properties of Y dwarfs observed with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
    Aims: Our science goals are to characterise the optical properties of Y dwarfs and to study their consistency with theoretical models. Methods: A sample of five Y dwarfs was observed with three optical and near-infrared instruments at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias. Deep near-infrared (J- or H-band) and multicolour optical images (z-, i-, r-, G

    Asteroid reflectance spectra from Gaia DR3: Near-UV in primitive asteroids
    Context. In the context of charge-coupled devices (CCDs), the ultraviolet (UV) region has mostly remained unexplored after the 1990s. Gaia DR3 offers the community a unique opportunity to explore tens of thousands of asteroids in the near-UV as a proxy of the UV absorption. This absorption has been proposed in previous works as a diagnostic of
