Context. The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of ≃3–5 days. These features are thought to be shaped by dynamical and atmospheric processes. However, their roles are not yet well understood. Aims. Our aim was to confirm and characterize the super-Neptune

We present the discovery and characterization of a new multi-planetary system around the Sun-like star K2-360 (EPIC 201595106). K2-360 was first identified in K2 photometry as the host of an ultra-short-period (USP) planet candidate with a period of 0.88 d. We obtained follow-up transit photometry, confirming the star as the host of the signal

Históricamente, los mapas celestes han sido la principal fuente de datos astronómicos, utilizados para explorar y comprender el Universo. Este trabajo está dedicado al estudio de uno de ellos, Lockman-SpReSO, un seguimiento espectroscópico óptico cartográfico de fuentes seleccionadas por su emisión infrarroja, a partir de observaciones previas con

Accretion onto compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, is one of the most powerful processes in the Universe, involving large exchanges of mass and energy. Among the astrophysical systems where this phenomenon is observed, X-ray binaries are particularly relevant due to their relatively short timescales of evolution, which are

This thesis focuses on the study of atmospheres of main sequence cool stars (spectral types G2V, K0V, and M2V, with solar metallicity) by means of three-dimensional time-dependent magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of their near-surface convection and photospheres. The simulations are computed with the MANCHA code, which is adapted to simulate other

Desde el descubrimiento de que existen diferentes tipos de galaxias nos hemos preguntado sobre su formación y evolución. ¿Evolucionan de manera diferente las galaxias de distintos tamaños y masas? Las galaxias gigantes y masivas fueron las primeras en ser estudiadas, su alta luminosidad superficial permitió que los primeros telescopios las
