We present a quantitative analysis of the star formation history (SFH) of the Local Group dSph galaxy Leo I, from the information in its Hubble Space Telescope [(V-I),I] color-magnitude diagram (CMD). It reaches the level of the oldest main-sequence turnoffs, and this allows us to retrieve the SFH in considerable detail. The method we use is based

The starburst galaxy NGC 6090: from 2.5μm to 200μm.
We have carried out broad band photometry of the interacting galaxy system NGC 6090 from 3.6 to 200μm using ISOPHOT. This is complemented by a low resolution spectrum in the wavelength range 2.5-11.5μm. The IR spectral energy distribution of a starburst galaxy is shown with unprecedented detail. From our Far Infrared measurements we can demonstrate

The Stellar Content of the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
The stellar content and stellar age distribution of the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy are discussed in the light of deep CM diagrams for (V - R) and (V - I) color indices, complemented by Hα data. The CM diagrams of Pegasus show two structures-red tail and red tangle-which denote the presence of intermediate-age and old stars in the galaxy. After

The stochastic nature of stellar population modelling
Since the early 1970s, stellar population modelling has been one of the basic tools for understanding the physics of unresolved systems from observation of their integrated light. Models allow us to relate the integrated spectra (or colours) of a system with the evolutionary status of the stars of which it is composed and hence to infer how the

The temporal behaviour of seeing
Using a large amount of data gathered during previous seeing campaign at ORM, we analyse the temporal evolution of seeing in order to find out whether predictions could be made over a short time interval of a few hours. The first results are presented.

The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program
JWST presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structures, and dynamics of transiting exoplanets in unprecedented detail. However, the high-precision, time-series observations required for such investigations have unique technical challenges, and our prior
