Description
Star clusters provide a unique and powerful probe useful for studying the star formation histories of galaxies. In particular, the ages, metallicities and kinematics of star clusters bear the imprint of the galaxy formation process. M33 is the only nearby late-type spiral galaxy and it provides a notable connection between the cluster populations of earlier-type spirals and the numerous, nearby later-type dwarf galaxies. GTC/OSIRIS provides us, for the first time, with adequate velocity precision to reach the faint end of the luminosity function and to perform a detailed spectroscopic study. We will present here high velocity precision of faint star clusters using GTC/OSIRIS as well as brighter star clusters using WHT/WYFFOS. In combination with our photometric study as well as structural parameter analysis, we will provide relevant information of the star formation history and evolution of the galaxy.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet
