Description
We are performing a survey of a sample of 17 radio jets with Chandra and HST, with the aim of finding their X-ray and optical counterparts. In this paper, we present the preliminary Chandra results for the first six sources observed and analyzed so far. In four of them an X-ray jet is clearly detected. We compare the X-ray morphologies to the radio ones, using archival radio data and discuss similarities and differences with respect to previously studied cases. Our results show that X-ray jets are no longer rare and exotic phenomena, but qualify as a rather common occurrences of the extragalactic sky. .

    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

    a Study of Post-Agb Stars in the Light of GAIA DR3 Data
    Low and intermediate-mass stars evolve through the Post Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) phase before they reach the Planetary Nebulae stage. After leaving the Main Sequence, they undergo intense episodes of mass loss when in the Giant Branch and, then, they enter the post-AGB stage which is a rather puzzling stellar evolutionary phase . Also, it

    Unsupervised classification of RR Lyrae stars
    Big datasets are becoming increasingly important in astrophysics due to new surveys continuously observing our night sky. A prominent example of an observatory that will produce a large data stream is Vera C. Rubin LSST, designed to simultaneously monitor the southern night sky in six colors. Unsupervised machine learning (ML), a method of learning
