Descripción
The Universidad Complutense of Madrid (UCM) has recently installed a high sensitivity video system to detect meteors. It is intended to study the entry in our atmosphere of interplanetary particles of mass greater than a gram. The station, not fully equipped yet, is a node of the national Spanish Fireball Network (SPMN) and includes cameras located at the Astronomical Observatory (Physics building) and others distributed around. The system has been automated to detect and record meteors only when the atmospheric conditions are good enough. Undergraduate and graduate physics students have collaborated to develop, install and test the system. Detections which are bright enough to drop a meteorite are analyzed using double station observations with the cameras of the SPMN nodes around Spain to determine their atmospheric paths, origin and landing area.

    Identification of Superclusters and their Properties in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
    Superclusters are the largest massive structures in the cosmic web on tens to hundreds of megaparsecs (Mpc) scales. They are the largest assembly of galaxy clusters in the Universe. Apart from a few detailed studies of such structures, their evolutionary mechanism is still an open question. In order to address and answer the relevant questions, a

    Rapid multiwavelength variability reveals jet emission in the black hole binary V404 Cygni in quiescence
    Spitzer Space Telescope observations of several quiescent black hole low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have shown mid-infrared excesses above the emission of a companion star. The excess has been proposed to originate from either a relativistic jet or circumbinary disk. If the mid-IR originates in a jet, then it probes the region closest to the black

    KIC 9163796 - Age determination by asteroseismic grid modelling for an oscillating red giant binary
    The age of a star cannot be measured but only inferred from observational quantities related to age. A wellknown stellar age greatly impacts our understanding of evolution on much larger scales, such as exoplanetary systems or the history of the Milky Way. For stars in the red-giant phase, comparison of observations with evolutionary models
