Massive stars condition the evolution of the interstellar medium by the amount of energy released during their lives and especially by their deaths as supernova explosions. The vast amounts of spectroscopic data for massive stars provided by previous and existing instruments on ground-based and space-based telescopes have already saturated our

In the last decades important improvements have been made towards better access and working conditions for women in science. However, we are still far from reaching gender equality in the scientific field. We still suffer from gender stereotypes during childhood, subtle gender bias in academic and scientific evaluations, unequal work-life

Using spectral data from the SAMI Integral Field Spectrograph and full spectral fitting techniques, we obtain and study the stellar population properties of a sample of dwarf galaxies in the Fornax Cluster. Our analysis focuses on the relation of stellar populations properties with the environment and internal properties of dwarfs. We covered the

It is very common in astrophysics that certain relevant parameters of the objects studied cannot be obtained directly from observations, but require numerical models that simulate the relevant physical mechanisms, often through an iterative process of trial and error. This is often lengthy and consumes a large part of the human and material

The ``Proyecto Educativo con Telescopios Robóticos'' (PETeR) of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias is an online inquiry-based laboratory that allows school students to carry out their own observations and research projects in astronomy using professional robotic telescopes. The availability of observing time on several telescopes, which also

http://research.iac.es/proyecto/emir/ {EMIR} is one of the first common user instruments for the GTC, the 10 meter telescope operating at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain). EMIR has been built by a Consortium of Spanish and French institutes led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The instrument
