Context. With the growth of the scale, depth, and resolution of astronomical imaging surveys, there is increased need for highly accurate automated detection...

Schwarzschild orbit-based dynamical models are widely used to uncover the internal dynamics of early-type galaxies and globular clusters. Here we present for...

We critically review the basic assumptions of the standard model for the synthesis of the X-ray background (XRB) in the light of new data from ultradeep surveys...

OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object Survey) is the GTC Key Project that will allow an optimal exploitation of the Spanish Day One GTC instrument OSIRIS...

We present a preliminary analysis of public, deep (200 ksec.) Chandra/ACIS observations of three fields comprising the original Groth-Westphal strip (GWS)...

OTELO, the key OSIRIS science project is a deep emission line object survey to be performed with the OSIRIS Tunable Filters in selected atmospheric windows...

We describe the Milky Way Survey (MWS) that will be undertaken with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Mayall 4 m telescope at the Kitt Peak...

We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core...

An overview is given of the Permanent All Sky Survey (PASS) project. The primary goal of PASS is the detection of all transiting giant planets in the entire sky...
