Due to the complexity of scientific instruments, such as spectropolarimeters, managing instrument sequences can be challenging. To address this problem, a Finite-State Machine (FSM) approach has been used to manage solar observation sequences in the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS). FSMs provide a structured and visual representation of control

The evolution of galaxies appears linked to the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBH), as evidenced by empirical scale relations between hosts' large-scale properties and the mass of their central black holes. This co-evolutionary scenario suggests that all galaxies experience nuclear activity — active phases during which the black hole

In a hierarchical, dark matter-dominated Universe, stellar mass functions (SMFs), galaxy merger rates, star formation histories (SFHs), satellite abundances, and intracluster light (ICL), should all be intimately connected observables. However, the systematics affecting observations still prevent universal and uniform measurements of, for example

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

This study offers an in-depth analysis of the kinematic behavior of ionized gas in IZw18, a galaxy notable for its extremely low metallicity and close proximity, utilizing data from MEGARA/GTC. We explored the structure and dynamics of the galaxy through Hα line profiles, applying single and double Gaussian component fittings to create detailed

Recently, the exploitation of spectropolarimetric data has allowed to improve our knowledge of the dynamical and magnetic response of the photospheric and chromospheric layers to the rapid release of energy occurring during solar flares. In this framework, we have used high-resolution observations acquired on 22nd October 2014 during an X1.6
