    The Formation and Disintegration of Magnetic Bright Points Observed by Sunrise/IMaX
    The evolution of the physical parameters of magnetic bright points (MBPs) located in the quiet Sun (mainly in the interwork) during their lifetime is studied...

    The Fornax 3D project: PNe populations and stellar metallicity in edge-on galaxies
    Context. Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) are useful distance indicators and are often used to trace the dark-matter content in external galaxies. At the...

    The Fornax3D project: Planetary nebulae catalogue and independent distance measurements to Fornax cluster galaxies
    Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) offer a way to determine the distance to their host galaxies thanks to the nearly universal shape of the planetary nebulae...

    The fraction of binary systems in the core of five Galactic open clusters
    We used deep wide-field photometric observations to derive the fraction of binary systems in a sample of five high-latitude Galactic open clusters. By analysing...

    The fundamental parameters of the Algol binary AI Draconis revisited
    We present the results of an analysis of our infrared light curves of the Algol-type binary AI Draconis in the J, H and K bands, and of published light curves...

    The Gaia-ESO Survey: A globular cluster escapee in the Galactic halo
    A small fraction of the halo field is made up of stars that share the light element (Z ≤ 13) anomalies characteristic of second generation globular cluster (GC)...
