Descripción
We present the discovery of a 14-8+2 MJup companion located at 670 AU from UScoC-TIO 108, a 60+/-20 MJup brown dwarf of the very young Upper Scorpius association. Optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy confirm that both the primary and secondary are very cool objects, with Teff of 2700 and 2100 K, respectively, and that they are bona fide young members of the association. We will discuss the implications of the existence of wide substellar companions in current models of formation of these very low-mass objects. The results of this proceeding is also published in Béjar et al. 2008, ApJ, 673, L185.

    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
