Disc galaxies are complex systems shaped by different stellar structures such as bulges, discs, and bars. Every galaxy structure keeps a unique memory of their past evolution, thus, understanding the mass assembly of disc galaxies can only be achieved by analysing separately all these independent footprints of past evolution. In this work, we have

Context. While it is conjectured that a chromospheric canopy plays a role in penumbra formation, it has been difficult to find observational evidence of the connectivity between the photosphere and the chromosphere. Aims: We investigate the existence of a chromospheric canopy as a necessary condition for the formation of a penumbra. Another aim is

In this contribution, we present the results of a study on the high abundance discrepancy factor (ADF $\sim$ 10) planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6153 with MUSE. We have constructed flux maps for dozens of emission lines, that allowed us to build spatially resolved maps of extinction, electron temperature ($T_{\rm e}$), electron density ($n_{\rm e}$), and

OTELO is an ultradeep, 2D-spectroscopic (R$\sim$700) blind survey, defined on a window of 210 Å centred at 9175 Å targeting a region of the Extended Groth Field that is embedded in the Deep field 3 of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS). Is the deepest pointing of GALEX in imaging and spectroscopy. Such Pseudo-spectra(PS) were

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the polarization and magnetic sensitivity of the near-ultraviolet (near-UV) solar spectral lines of Fe II between 250 and 278 nm. In recent years, UV spectropolarimetry has become key to uncovering the magnetism of the upper layers of the solar chromosphere. The unprecedented data obtained by the

In this work we used a series of open clusters and associations observed by the Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) to study the use of lithium abundances (Li I spectral line at 6708 $\angstrom$) as an age indicator for pre- and main-sequence FGKM late-type stars. Previous studies of open clusters have shown that lithium depletion is not only strongly age
