Temperature inversion layers are predicted to be present in ultra-hot giant planet atmospheres. Although such inversion layers have recently been observed in several ultra-hot Jupiters, the chemical species responsible for creating the inversion remain unidentified. Here, we present observations of the thermal emission spectrum of an ultra-hot

Massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) are mainly populated by old stars that dominate the optical spectral range. We analyse optical and near-ultraviolet (NUV) absorption lines from integrated spectra of massive ETGs to study its young stellar content, thanks to the extreme sensitivity of the NUV to young stars. We find that young stellar populations

I present the status and the recent results of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment. QUIJOTE is a project that operates from the Teide Observatory, with the aim to characterize the emission of the galactic foregrounds at microwave wavelengths, and to study the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, targeting the detection of the

Context. The lack of high-precision long-term continuous photometric data for large samples of stars has impeded the large-scale exploration of pulsational variability in the OB star regime. As a result, the candidates for in-depth asteroseismic modelling have remained limited to a few dozen dwarfs. The TESS nominal space mission has surveyed the

La forma habitual de medir el tamaño de las galaxias, el radio efectivo, es el resultado de una época cuando las imágenes astronómicas eran poco profundas y, por tanto, incapaces de capturar la extensión completa de las fuentes astronómicas. Esta situación ha cambiado drásticamente en la actualidad con la llegada de cartografiados muy profundos
