In a previous work, we reported on the discovery of supersonic magnetic upflows on granular cells in data from the SUNRISE/IMaX instrument. In the present work, we investigate the physical origin of these events employing data from the same instrument but with higher spectral sampling. By means of the inversion of Stokes profiles we are able to

M 22 is an anomalous globular cluster that hosts two groups of stars with different metallicity and s-element abundance. The star-to-star light-element variations in both groups, with the presence of individual Na-O and C-N anticorrelations, demonstrates that this Milky Way satellite has experienced a complex star formation history. We have

Given the very close proximity of their habitable zones, brown dwarfs (BDs) represent high-value targets in the search for nearby transiting habitable planets that may be suitable for follow-up occultation spectroscopy. In this paper, we develop search strategies to find habitable planets transiting BDs depending on their maximum habitable orbital

Massive stars are fundamental drivers of the Universe because of their injection of energy, momentum, and nuclear-processed material in every stage of their life and death. Their feedback depends on their formation, winds and evolution, and these in turn depend on chemical composition. The GTC-OSIRIS combination is an excellent machine for

Massive galaxies have grown a factor of 4 in size since z=2 to the present. The reasons of this growth remain unclear. Within the possible mechanisms that have been suggested to explain this evolution, the accretion of satellites by the massive galaxies seems to be the most promising one. To understand the details of this growth we have performed a

We present the study of the most massive galaxies (M^{*}>10^{11} {M}_{&sun;}) found in a cosmological simulation performed with MASCLET (Mesh Adaptative Scheme for CosmologicaL structurE evoluTion) and analyzed with HALMA (HALo finder for MAsclet). We focus on the structure of these virtual galaxies, analysizing their radial gradients, morphology
