Description
In this contribution we summarise our science preparation activities to complete the CARMENES (http://carmenes.caha.es/) input catalogue of M dwarfs using low-resolution spectroscopy to derive spectral indices sensible to spectral type, gravity and metallicity as well as the level of chromospheric activity. We provide here all this information for 181 stars in addition to the 727 stars already published in Alonso-Floriano et al. (2015). We have developed a calibration of the M-dwarfs metallicity (Alonso-Floriano et al. 2016) using physical binaries composed of an F-, G- or K-dwarf primary and an M-dwarf secondary that allows us to provide the metallicity for all these M dwarfs.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of
