In this paper, we present the astrophotometric catalogues of 56 globular clusters and one open cluster. Astrometry and photometry are mainly based on images collected within the `HST Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters: Shedding UV Light on Their Populations and Formation' (GO-13297, PI: Piotto), and the `ACS Survey of Galactic Globular

We build on the evidence provided by our Legacy Survey of Galactic globular clusters (GC) to submit to a crucial test four scenarios currently entertained for the formation of multiple stellar generations in GCs. The observational constraints on multiple generations to be fulfilled are manifold, including GC specificity, ubiquity, variety

The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) is a Spanish research centre. It comprises the Instituto de Astrofisica, the main headquarters in La Laguna (Tenerife), the Teide Observatory in Izaña (Tenerife) and the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, in Garafia on La Palma. Whilst maintaining a level of excellence, not only for the facilities of

We present an online catalog for dwarfs with spectral types M, L and T. The catalog currently contains 893 objects listed in order of right ascension. For most of them the spectra can be downloaded from the catalog in ASCII or FITS formats. The web address is http://www.iac.es/galeria/ege/catalogo_spectral/.

We present the IACOB grid-based automatic tool for the quantitative spectroscopic analysis of O-stars. The tool consists of an extensive grid of FASTWIND models, and a variety of programs implemented in IDL to handle the observations, perform the automatic analysis, and visualize the results. The tool provides a fast and objective way to determine

We compute the z = 3 neutral hydrogen column density distribution function f(NHI) for 19 simulations drawn from the Overwhelmingly Large Simulations project using a post-processing correction for self-shielding calculated with full radiative transfer of the ionizing background radiation. We investigate how different physical processes and
