Description
By making use of real information about the continental and oceanic surface distribution of the Earth, and cloudiness data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), we have studied the large-scale cloudiness behavior according to latitude and surface types (ice, water, vegetation and desert). These empirical relationships are used here to reconstruct the possible cloud distribution of historical epochs of the Earth history such as Late Cretaceous (90 My ago) and Late Triasic (230 My ago) when the landmass distribution was different. This information can be used to simulate the photometric variability of these planets according to their different geographical distribution.

    Massive characterisation of subgiants and red giants with TESS (Kepler and Gaia)
    TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge. The advent of multiple sectors of data for most stars every two years with the extended

    We present a 0.35-2.4 µm stellar spectral library composed by 31 stars observed with the Gemini Near-IR Spectrograph (GNIRS) on the 8.1 m Gemini North telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. These stars are present in the MILES library, and thus various parameters derived from the optical are available. Furthermore, out of those, 26 are presented for the

    Calibrating the color-redshift relation for an optimum exploitation of Euclid data
    Euclid's three dimensional reconstruction of the matter distribution in the Universe heavily relies on a proper calibration of the color-redshift relation. Getting such calibration was the motivation of the project Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation (C3R2) survey (Masters et al. 2017), with the goal of mapping the empirical
