A new stellar library at the near-IR spectral region developed for the empirical calibration of the Caii triplet and stellar population synthesis modelling is presented. The library covers the range λλ8348-9020 at 1.5-Å (FWHM) spectral resolution, and consists of 706 stars spanning a wide range in atmospheric parameters. We have defined a new set

We present a homogeneous set of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, [Fe/H]) for a sample of about 700 field and cluster stars which constitute a new stellar library in the near-IR developed for stellar population synthesis in this spectral region (λ8350-9020). Having compiled the available atmospheric data in the literature for field stars

File table contains details of the new near-IR stellar library observed to calibrate the Ca II triplet. It includes the indices CaT*, CaT and PaT measured over the final spectra as well as their corresponding errors. The Henry Draper Catalogue number, other names (mainly HR and BD numbers), coordinates, spectral type, luminosity class, apparent

We describe the search for Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) near the submillimeter-bright starburst galaxy HFLS3 at z = 6.34 and a study on the environment of this massive galaxy during the end of reionization. We performed two independent selections of LBGs on images obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)

Context. The majority of all galaxies reside in groups of fewer than 50 member galaxies. These groups are distributed in various large-scale environments from voids to superclusters. Aims: The evolution of galaxies is affected by the environment in which they reside. Our aim is to study the effects of the local group scale and the supercluster
