Context. Wide-field, multi-filter photometric surveys enable the reconstruction of the Milky Way's star formation history (SFH) on Galactic scales and provide complementary insights into disc assembly. The 12-filter system of the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) is particularly suitable, as its colours trace stellar chemical

Context. Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) are believed to significantly contribute to the star formation activity and mass assembly in galaxies. EELGs likely also play a leading role in the cosmic re-ionization as their interstellar medium may allow a significant fraction of their ionizing photons to escape (> 5%). Finding low-redshift

Fisher-matrix forecasts are presented for the cosmological surveys of the Javalambre Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) and the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS). The wide, low-redshift coverage of J-PAS and the high-density, high-redshift mapping of PFS are strongly complementary: combining the two reduces

Crater II (CraII) is a very intriguing low surface brightness and extended galaxy in the vicinity of our Galaxy. Motivated by its huge area and the number of RR Lyrae stars (RRLSs) detected near to its core, we performed a follow-up campaign to get deep multiband (g, i) and multiepoch DECam observations in the outskirts of CraII, covering up to 8r
