Descripción
We present deep and accurate Near-Infrared (NIR) photometry of the Galactic Globular Cluster (GC) ω Cen. Data were collected using the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) on VLT (ESO). The unprecedented quality of the images provided the opportunity to perform accurate photometry in the central crowded regions. Preliminary results indicate that the spread in age among the different stellar populations in ω Cen is limited.

    A Multi-wavelength Study of Rotation and Magnetic Activity in Young Open Clusters
    In main-sequence, low-mass (<1.3 Solar mass) stars, rotation and magnetic activity decrease over time, with the spin-down thought to be due to angular momentum lost through magnetized winds. This magnetic activity heats the stellar atmospheres, leading to the production of Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and X-ray radiation, each originating from different

    LeMMINGs. Multi-wavelength constraints on the co-existence of nuclear star clusters and AGN in nucleated galaxies
    The relation between nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and the growth of the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs), as well as their connection to the properties of the host galaxies, is crucial for understanding the evolution of galaxies. Recent observations have revealed that about 10% of nucleated galaxies host hybrid nuclei, consisting of both
