Ariel, the atmospheric remote-sensing infrared exoplanet large-survey, is the recently adopted M4 mission within the Cosmic Vision science programme of ESA. The goal of Ariel is to investigate the atmospheres of planets orbiting distant stars in order to address the fundamental questions on how planetary systems form and evolve and to investigate

"Amanar: under the same sky" is a science outreach project organized by GalileoMobile, the Asociación Canaria de Amistad con el Pueblo Saharaui (ACAPS) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), with the aim to support and inspire the Sahrawi community from the refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria, using Astronomy. The initiative pays special

Ultra-hot Jupiters are defined as giant planets with equilibrium temperatures larger than 2000 K. Most of them are found orbiting bright A-F stars, making them extremely suitable object to study their atmospheres using high-resolution spectroscopy.TOI-1431b, also known as MASCARA-5b, a newly discovered planet with the temperature of 2375 K is a

The constant influx of new material from space to Earth provides an opportunity to delve into the processes that took place in the formation of the Solar System [1]. Some fragments of asteroids or comets have been wandering through space remaining practically unaltered, ending their journey upon impact with our atmosphere producing the spectacular

The Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) is an observational campaign that aims to obtain photometry in 12 ultraviolet-visible filters (0.3-1 μm) of ∼8 500 deg2 of the sky observable from Javalambre (Teruel, Spain). Due to its characteristics and strategy of observation, this survey will let us analyze a great number of Solar

Polana, Eulalia, and Themis are known to have negative spectral slope (blue) in visible wavelengths (VIS). We revisited our observations of those asteroid family members from 2010 to 2012 with the 3.56-m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (El Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Spain), in order to characterize their reflectance in the near
