Descripción
El objetivo general del Proyecto es el estudio de la estructura, historia evolutiva y proceso de formación de galaxias a través de sus poblaciones estelares resueltas, tanto a partir de fotometría como espectroscopia. El proyecto puede dividirse en cuatro líneas principales:
I. Historia de formación estelar en el Grupo Local.
El objetivo de esta línea es la caracterización de la estructura espacio-temporal de las galaxias del Grupo Local mediante la observación de sus estrellas individuales. Un objetivo fundamental es la determinación de las historias de la formación estelar (HFE) detalladas y extendidas a toda la historia evolutiva de la galaxia con objeto de determinar el grado de importancia que los procesos cosmológicos (tales como la reionización o self-shielding) o locales (barrido de gas por supernovas, fuerzas de marea, migración estelar) tuvieron en su formación.
II. Multipoblaciones estelares en cúmulos globulares.
De forma contraria al paradigma clásico, hay evidencias de que los cúmulos globulares (CG) albergan más de una población estelar de diferente composición química. Observaciones fotométricas de los CG usando el HST muestran fuertes evidencias de múltiples secuencias principales en el DCM. El objetivo de la línea es caracterizar dichas multipoblaciones en CG.
III. Formación y estructura de la Vía Láctea.
Esta línea tiene como eje principal el estudio de la Vía Láctea a través de los datos que proporcionará GAIA (espacio) y el survey ESO-VVV . Este tipo de datos van a dar una oportunidad única de conocer la historia de formación estelar en el disco y en el bulbo galáctico. En este marco, es necesario adecuar las herramientas desarrolladas por nuestro grupo para el análisis de poblaciones estelares al tipo de datos que está suministrando ambos surveys.
IV. Evolución estelar y diagrama color-magnitud sintético.
Nuestro grupo ha liderado el desarrollo de una nueva librería de evolución estelar. Hay una necesidad en la comunidad científica de mejorar la confianza y exactitud de la computación de modelos estelares mediante la incorporación de las últimas mejoras en el campo de la física tales como la Ecuación de Estado, nuevos cálculos en tablas de opacidades o en secciones nucleares effectivas.

Interactions between large-scale radio structures and gas in a sample of optically selected type 2 quasarsContext. The role of radio mode feedback in non radio-loud quasars needs to be explored in depth to determine its true importance. Its effects can be identified based on the evidence of interactions between the radio structures and the ambient ionised gas. Aims: We investigate this interaction in a sample of 13 optically selected type 2 quasarsVillar Martín, M. et al.

A Case against a Significant Detection of Precession in the Galactic WarpRecent studies of warp kinematics using Gaia DR2 data have produced detections of warp precession for the first time, which greatly exceeds theoretical predictions of models. However, this detection assumes a warp model derived for a young population (few tens of megayears) to fit velocities of an average older stellar population of the thin diskChrobáková, Ž. et al.

Exact Semianalytical Calculation of Rotation Curves with Bekenstein-Milgrom Nonrelativistic MONDAstronomers derive MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) rotation curves using the simple algebraic rule of calculating the acceleration as equal to the Newtonian acceleration (a) divided by some factor μ(a). However, there are velocity differences between this simple rule and the calculation derived from more sophisticated MOND versions such as AQUALLópez-Corredoira, M. et al.

Multiple Populations in Low-mass Globular Clusters: Palomar 13Since the discovery of chemically peculiar stars in globular clusters in the last century, the study of multiple populations has become increasingly important, given that chemical inhomogeneity is found in almost all globular clusters.

PSR B0656+14: the unified outlook from the infrared to X-raysWe report detection of PSR B0656+14 with the Gran Telescopio Canarias in narrow optical F657, F754, F802, and F902 and near-infrared JHK s bands. The pulsar detection in the K s band extends its spectrum to 2.2 $\mu$ m and confirms its flux increase towards the infrared. We also present a thorough analysis of the optical spectrum obtained by usZharikov, S. et al.

Statistical analysis of Galactic globular cluster type propertiesThe analysis of pseudo-colour diagrams, the so-called chromosome maps, of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) permits to classify them into type I and type II clusters. Type II GCs are characterized by an above-the-average complexity of their chromosome maps and some of them are known to display star-to-star variations of slow neutron-capture reactionSimioni, M. et al.

The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. XX. Ages of Single and Multiple Stellar Populations in Seven Bulge Globular ClustersIn the present work we analyzed seven globular clusters (GCs) selected from their location in the Galactic bulge and with metallicity values in the range -1.30 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ -0.50. The aim of this work is first to derive cluster ages assuming single stellar populations and second to identify the stars from first (1G) and second generations (2G) fromOliveira, R. A. P. et al.

280 one-opposition near-Earth asteroids recovered by the EURONEAR with the Isaac Newton TelescopeContext. One-opposition near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are growing in number, and they must be recovered to prevent loss and mismatch risk, and to improve their orbits, as they are likely to be too faint for detection in shallow surveys at future apparitions. Aims: We aimed to recover more than half of the one-opposition NEAs recommended forVaduvescu, O. et al.
