Description
We present our project to explore the stellar content of the nearest Milky Way massive star forming región, Cygnus-X. The main aim (but not the only one) is to understand the formation and evolution of single and multiple massive stars. Using the new WEAVE multifiber spectrograph attached to the 4.2-m WHT and within the SCIP survey we will secure high resolution, high S/N, multiepoch spectra of massive stars born in the same region of the Milky Way. Combined with Gaia data, the analysis of the spectra will enlighten the different evolutionary scenarios, their past and future, and their relative weights. The results of our project will constitute a cornerstone to interpret the observations in other regions of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies.

    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

    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

    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
