A public programme (IAC-STAR) has been developed for generating of HR and C-M synthetic diagrams to investigate problems of star formation and population synthesis. The programme's outputs have multiple applications: from use as tools for studying the History of Star Formation in the galaxies, to applications in the field of Surface Brightness Fluctuation. IAC-STAR is a free access project via the World Wide Web from the url http://iac-star.iac.es/iac-star and is proving to be very successful.

A planet the size of Jupiter (TrES-1) has been detected from its transits around a star K0 V. (Data: M=0.75 ± 0.07 MJ R= 1.08 (+0.18,-0.04) RJ ). This is the first planet discovered using the transit technique with a small telescope. It is currently the second best-known extrasolar planet, and one of two from which direct thermal emission (light emitted by the planet) has been detected.
