The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has developed a robust and sustainable framework that is aligned with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals including economic diversification, local job creation and skills development. The RCU is currently thriving to deliver an environmentally and historically conscientious

The PLATO stellar analysis pipeline will provide photometric rotation and activity measurements for as many observed stars as possible. This poster is aimed at presenting the scientific abilities of the rotation and activity analysis module that will be implemented in the PLATO pipeline. The strategy combines Fourier analysis, autocorrelation of

Context. Planetary nebulae (PNe) have three main components: a central star (CS), ionized gas, and dust in the nebula. Each contains critical chemical fingerprints of the PN's evolution, which serve as tracers of the evolution, nucleosynthesis, and dust production that occurred during the preceding asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. Aims: We aim

Context. The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby, late-K-dwarf with six transiting planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with radii ranging from to 2.9 R $\Earth$ and orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All the planets, but the innermost one, form a chain of Laplace resonances. The fine-tuning and fragility of such orbital

Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
