High-velocity stars in the Milky Way are related to extreme astrophysical phenomena. In this work, we characterize 28 stars with Galactocentric velocities higher than 400 $\mathrm{km\, s^{-1}}$ observed in the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey Data Release 2 (J-PLUS DR2) survey. We combine J-PLUS photometry with astrometric data from the

Context. Given the widespread availability of grids of models for stellar atmospheres, it is necessary to recover intermediate atmospheric models by means of accurate techniques that go beyond simple linear interpolation and capture the intricacies of the data. Aims: Our goal is to establish a reliable, precise, lightweight, and fast method for

Invited talk about double-barred galaxies for the conference "Galactic bars: driving and decoding galaxy evolution" (Granada, 3-7 July, 2023).

Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the Galaxy, and are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the Milky Way. Recently, it has been shown that tidal streams of open clusters can now also be detected within the Milky Way disc, such as the Hyades stream. During this talk, I will present the

The Sunrise Chromospheric Infrared spectroPolarimeter (SCIP) has been developed for the third flight of the SUNRISE balloon-borne stratospheric solar observatory. The aim of the SCIP is to reveal the evolution of three-dimensional magnetic fields in the solar photosphere and chromosphere using spectropolarimetric measurements with a polarimetric

Galaxies in the Universe are distributed in a web-like structure characterized by different large-scale environments: dense clusters, elongated filaments, sheetlike walls and under-dense regions, called voids 1-5. The low density in voids is expected to affect the properties of their galaxies. Indeed, previous studies 6-14 have shown that galaxies
