The "Fundación Galileo Galilei - INAF, Fundación Canaria" (FGG) is a Spanish no-profit institution constituted by "INAF", the Italian Institute of Astrophysics.
The FGG's aim is to promote the astrophysical research, as foreseen in the international agreement of May 26, 1979 ("Acuerdo de Cooperación en Materia de Astrofísica, B.O.E. Núm.161, 6 Jul 1979"), by managing and running the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), a 3.58m optical/infrared telescope located in the Island of San Miguel de La Palma, together with its scientific, technical and administrative facilities.

Unveiling the Secrets of Fluorine in the Stars with GIANO B: New Discoveries from Open Clusters
A team of international researchers has conducted an in-depth study on fluorine abundances in seven open clusters as part of the Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) program at Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG).
The study provides new insights into the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk using open clusters as they are crucial for understanding the age, evolution, and chemical properties of this portion of our Galaxy.
