Descripción
We developed a new approach to provide accurate estimates of the metalcontent, reddening, and true distance modulus of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs).The method is based on hom*ogeneous optical (BVI) and near-infrared (JHK)mean magnitudes and on predictedperiod–luminosity–metallicity relations (IJHK) and absolutemean magnitude–metallicity relations (BV). We obtained solutionsfor three different RRL samples in ω Cen: first overtone (RRc,90), fundamental (RRab, 80), and global (RRc+RRab) in which the periodof first overtones were fundamentalized. The metallicity distributionshows a well defined peak at [Fe/H]∼‑1.98 and a standarddeviation of σ = 0.54 dex. The spread is, as expected, metal-poor([Fe/H] ≤ ‑2.3) objects. The current metallicity distributionis ∼0.3 dex more metal-poor than similar estimates for RRLsavailable in the literature. The difference vanishes if the truedistance modulus we estimated is offset by ‑0.06/‑0.07 magin true distance modulus. We also found a cluster true distance modulusof μ = 13.720 ± 0.002 ± 0.030 mag, where the formererror is the error on the mean and the latter is the standard deviation.Moreover, we found a cluster reddening of E(B ‑ V) = 0.132± 0.002 ± 0.028 mag and spatial variations of the order ofa few arcmin across the body of the cluster. Both the true distancemodulus and the reddening are slightly larger than similar estimatesavailable in the literature, but the difference is within 1σ. Themetallicity dependence of distance diagnostics agrees with theory andobservations, but firm constraints require accurate and hom*ogeneousspectroscopic measurements.

TOI-4336 A b: A temperate sub-Neptune ripe for atmospheric characterization in a nearby triple M-dwarf system
Context. Small planets transiting bright nearby stars are essential to our understanding of the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. However, few constitute prime targets for atmospheric characterization, and even fewer are part of multiple star systems. Aims: This work aims to validate TOI-4336 A b, a sub-Neptune-sized exoplanet

The colliding-wind binary HD 168112
Context. Radio surveys of early-type stars have revealed a number of non-thermal emitters. Most of these have been shown to be binaries, where the collision between the two stellar winds is responsible for the non-thermal emission. Aims: HD 168112 is a non-thermal radio emitter, whose binary nature has only recently been confirmed spectroscopically

The CAVITY project: The spatially resolved stellar population properties of galaxies in voids
The Universe is shaped as a web-like structure, formed by clusters, filaments, and walls that leave large low number-density volumes in between named voids. Galaxies in voids have been found to be of a later type, bluer, less massive, and to have a slower evolution than galaxies in denser environments (filaments and walls). However, the effect of
