Descripción
We present integral-field spectroscopic observations with the VIMOS-IFU at the VLT of fast (2000-3000 kms-1) Balmer-dominated shocks surrounding the northwestern rim of the remnant of supernova 1006. The high spatial and spectral resolution of the instrument enable us to show that the physical characteristics of the shocks exhibit a strong spatial variation over few atomic scale lengths across 133 sky locations. Our results point to the presence of a population of non-thermal protons (10-100 keV) which might well be the seed particles for generating high-energy cosmic rays. We also present observations of Tycho's supernova remnant taken with the narrow-band tunable filter imager OSIRIS at the GTC and the Fabry-Perot interferometer GHaFaS at the WHT to resolve respectively the broad and narrow Hα lines across a large part of the remnant.

    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
