Descripción
We present a new calibration of the CaII triplet as metallicity indicator based in 4 globular and 11 open clusters which cover a range of metallicity - 2≤[Fe/H]≤+0.1 and age 13≤(Age/Gyr)≤0.25. We use it to derive the metallicity distribution in two fields situated at 5 and 8 degrees from the center of the LMC. We show that the mean [Fe/H] of the LMC field decreases as we move away from the bar.

    NIRPS near-infrared spectrograph: AITV phase at ESO3.6m/La Silla
    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS

    Euclid commissioning results: the near infrared spectrometer and photometer (NISP) signal detection chain
    Euclid, the M2 mission of the ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program, aims to explore the Dark Universe by conducting a survey of approximately 14 000 deg 2 and creating a 3D map of the observable Universe of around 1.5 billion galaxies up to redshift z ∼ 2. This mission uses two main cosmological probes: weak gravitational lensing and galaxy
