Description
As part of a systematic effort to characterize the properties and progenitors of the most luminous planetary nebulae (PNe), we obtained a sample among the brightest PNe in two stellar systems of different metallicities: LMC (Z/Z⊙~0.5) and M31 (Z/Z⊙~1) by means of a combined effort with the VLT and the 10mGTC. Modelling of these data will allow us to infer the masses of the stellar progenitors, gaining insights into the controversial origin of the universal cutoff of the Planetary Nebulae Luminosity Function (PNLF).

    Massive characterisation of subgiants and red giants with TESS (Kepler and Gaia)
    TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge. The advent of multiple sectors of data for most stars every two years with the extended

    Simulations of SKA observations of radio continuum and HI 21-cm line emission from M51 analogs
    Galactic gas contains atomic hydrogen (HI), which is crucial to numerous astrophysical phenomena. Studying the HI atomic gas in and around galaxies is very important to investigate the physical conditions under which massive star formation is quenched throughout cosmic time and to examine the feeding and feedback scenario in the conventional models

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas
