Context. The nature of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources is still a matter of debate. Studies of their counterparts in other spectral ranges will help to...
Fragments of harmony amid apparent chaos: A closer look at the X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions of the galaxy RX J1301.9+2747
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are an extreme X-ray variability phenomenon associated with low-mass (M BH < 10 7 M ⊙) supermassive black holes (SMBHs). First...
Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: a new determination of the D/H ratio towards PKS1937-101
Primordial abundances of light elements are sensitive to the physics of the early Universe and can directly constrain cosmological quantities, such as the...
Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: Precise limit on variations in the fine-structure constant towards the bright quasar HE 0515−4414
The strong intervening absorption system at redshift 1.15 towards the very bright quasar HE 0515−4414 is the most studied absorber for measuring possible...
Further observations of 3C 273 for the 3.3-micron dust feature
An attempt is made to confirm the observation of Allen (1980) of a 3.3-micron emission feature attributed to thermal dust emission in the quasar 3C 273...
The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as...
Gaia Early Data Release 3. Gaia photometric science alerts
Context. Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey...
Gaia Early Data Release 3. The celestial reference frame (Gaia-CRF3)
Context. Gaia-CRF3 is the celestial reference frame for positions and proper motions in the third release of data from the Gaia mission, Gaia DR3 (and for the...
Gaia Focused Product Release: A catalogue of sources around quasars to search for strongly lensed quasars
Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of 0.18″...
