Description
LINERs have been a class of low-luminosity AGN difficult to explain under the unified model. It has been claimed (González-Martín et al. 2009b) that a high percentage of them are obscured sources. Mid-infrared high spatial resolution data will bring us the oportunity to study the obscuration of these intringuing sources. However, these observations have been challenging due to the faintness of the sources and the inclusion of circumnuclear emission. Here, we investigate the great potential of the new instrument CanariCam at GTC. With a preliminary sample of LINERs observed with VISIR at VLT and T-ReCs at GEMINI we have obtained that LINERs fit into the relation claimed by Asmus et al. (2011) for AGNs.

    Application of Bayesian Inference to disentangle CMB foregrounds
    Both Galactic dust emission and Cosmic infrared background anisotropies (CIB) act as a dominant foreground contaminant for the measurements of the CMB anisotropies (intensity and polarization) at the frequency range above 217 GHz. The Galactic dust and CIB share a similar form of spectral energy distribution, which makes it harder to disentangle

    Constraining stellar and orbital co-evolution through ensemble seismology of solar-like oscillators in binary systems
    The evolution of stars and their hosting binary systems is a highly interactive process and cannot be investigated in a segregated manner. Due to the constraints drawn by stellar binarity, oscillating red-giant stars in binary systems represent a unique opportunity to study the details of the structure and evolution of stars in the advanced phases

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to
