Description
The UV-Excess survey of the northern Galactic plane images a 10°
× 185° wide band, centred on the Galactic equator using the
2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope in four bands (I5875) down to ~21-22 mag (
in I5875). The setup and data reduction procedures are described.
Simulations of the colours of main-sequence stars, giant, supergiants,
DA and DB white dwarfs and AM Canum Venaticorum stars are made,
including the effects of reddening. A first look at the data of the
survey (currently 30 per cent complete) is given.

Bipolar Nebulae
This project has three major objectives: 1) To determine the physico-chemical characteristics of bipolar planetary nebulae and symbiotic nebulae, to help understanding the origin of bipolarity and to test theoretical models, mainly models with binary central stars, aimed at explaining the observed morphology and kinematics. 2) To study the low

Binary Stars
The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is fundamental to understand stellar and galactic evolution. Particularly relevant is that binary systems are still the best source of precise stellar mass and radius measurements. Research lines
