Descripción
Four years after its announcement at SPIE, FLAMES, the VLT fibre facility, has been completed, integrated into the VLT observatory and commissioned. It has been in operation since February 2003. More than 250000 scientific (single) spectra have been obtained, which have enabled the on-sky performance of the instrument to be compared to the predictions. We show that in several relevant aspects the real instrument significantly outperforms the specified astronomical performance. Some of the early scientific results are finally presented.

    Convection, rotation, and magnetic activity of solar-like stars from asteroseismology
    During the last decade, our understanding of stellar physics and evolution has undergone a tremendous revolution thanks to asteroseismology. Space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, K2, and TESS have already been observing millions of stars providing high-precision photometric data. With these data, it is possible to study the convection of stars

    Tales of stellar & binary co-evolution, told by stellar oscillations
    Stellar binarity and stellar oscillations are mostly seen and studied as two separate phenomena. Sometimes, one process is even complicating the analysis of the other beyond the liking of one or the other research community. However, the complete picture painted by the physical constraints provided by the combination of both processes represents a

    The Multimodal Universe: 100 TB of Machine Learning Ready Astronomical Data
    We present the Multimodal Universe, a new framework collating over 100 TB of multimodal astronomical data for its first release, spanning images, spectra, time series, tabular and hyper-spectral data. This unified collection enables a wide variety of machine learning (ML) applications and research across astronomical domains. The dataset brings
