The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM), part of the Observatorios de Canarias (OCAN) alongside the Observatorio del Teide (OT) on Tenerife, is one of the most important astronomical sites in the world. Together, these observatories host the telescopes and instruments of around 60 institutions from over 20 countries, forming the EU's largest

Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary population synthesis models with different input physics are used for this purpose. Moreover, the contribution from the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stellar phase, which peaks

Context. Close-by Earth analogs and super-Earths are of primary importance because they will be preferential targets for the next generation of direct imaging instruments. Bright and close-by G-to-M type stars are preferential targets in radial velocity surveys to find Earth analogs. Their brightness allows us to achieve the best precision on RV

Context. Planetesimal belts are ubiquitous around nearby stars, and their spatial properties hold crucial information for planetesimal and planet formation models. Aims. We present resolved dust observations of 74 planetary systems as part of the REsolved ALMA and SMA Observations of Nearby Stars (REASONS) survey and archival reanalysis. Methods

The detection of primordial B modes of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) could provide information about the early stages of the Universe's evolution. The faintness of this signal requires exquisite calibration accuracy and control of instrumental systematic effects which otherwise could bias the measurements. In this work, we study the impact

Context. TOI-396 is an F6 V bright naked-eye star (V ≈ 6.4) orbited by three small (R p ≈ 2 R ⊕) transiting planets discovered thanks to space-based photometry from two TESS sectors. The orbital periods of the two innermost planets, namely TOI-396 b and c, are close to the 5:3 commensurability (P b ~ 3.6 d and P c ~ 6.0 d), suggesting that the
