Descripción
The Very Small Array (VSA) detected a cold spot in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) towardsthe Corona Borealis supercluster of galaxies. The origin of this spot remains unclear as itis not obviously associated to any known cluster of galaxies. We present here recent observationalresults (GTC, WHT, SDSS) and theoretical (N-body simulations) studies aimed to better understandthe origin of this anomalous spot.We carried out a near-IR survey (LIRIS@WHT) complemented with optical data (ACAM@WHT, OSIRIS@GTC and SDSS) in the line of sight of the core of this supercluster to search for new clusters of galaxies at a higher redshift. Using the Mare Nostrum Universe (an N-body SPH cosmological simulationby Yepes et al. 2007), we also study the potential of the different physical phases insuperclusters to produce similar thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich signals to the observed in the cold spot.

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on

    Constraining the core-rotation rate along the red-giant evolution
    The evolution of the core rotation rate of red giant stars is a key parameter in understanding the stellar behavior in the late phases of stellar evolution. Thanks to the mixed-dipole modes, we can constrain the core rotation and internal rotational gradient as a star advances through the red-giant phase. This master thesis presents a pipeline
