Description
We present preliminary results on high resolution Hα imaging of the Wolf-Rayet blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCDG) Mrk 1094. This galaxy presents a bar-shape structure and is currently undergoing a strong star formation burst distributed in several knots. Spatially resolved photometry of the different knots indicates that star formation seems to be propagating from the center outwards all along the bar. We discuss the different processes that could explain these observational facts. In this sense, Mrk 1094 is the first BCDG in which this kind of phenomena is detected.

    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

    Kepler meets Gaia: Binary systems, color-magnitude diagram, and kinematic analysis
    The Kepler mission has delivered unprecedented high-quality photometry. These data have impacted numerous research fields including Galactic studies, asteroseismology, and exoplanets, and continue to be an astrophysical gold mine to this day. Because of this, thorough investigations of the ∼200,000 stars observed by Kepler remain of paramount
