Descripción
We present a deep multicolor NIR survey that we are currently undertaking at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (Spain). The aim of the survey is obtain deep star counts in selected areas distributed along the Galactic plane to analyze the large scale structure of the Milky Way and the galactic components, in particular the Galactic bar. We are at least one magnitude deeper than in 2MASS and DENIS Galactic surveys, and even more in the inner Galaxy, as we are less limited by source confusion. This provides a better analysis of those regions where the extinction is higher.

    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

    Magnetic activity and its variability in the Sun and solar-like stars
    The light curves of solar-like stars provide information on stellar rotation and magnetic activity thanks to active-region crossings. In this work, we investigate the temporal variation of the photometric magnetic activity of the Sun and Kepler solar-like stars. We find that the most active stars are those exhibiting the most significant variations

    Exploring convolutional neural networks for classification and segmentation of evolving granular structures in the solar surface
    Solar granulation is the visible signature of convective cells emerging from the upper convective zone towards the solar surface. High-resolution images have revealed the complexity of the granulation, evidencing special phenomena such as exploding granules or granular lanes, which are known to be directly related to the emergence of small-scale
