    Mass estimates from optical modelling of the new TRAPUM redback PSR J1910-5320
    Spider pulsars continue to provide promising candidates for neutron star mass measurements. Here we present the discovery of PSR J1910-5320, a new millisecond...

    Masses, revised radii, and a third planet candidate in the 'Inverted' planetary system around TOI-1266
    Is the population of close-in planets orbiting M dwarfs sculpted by thermally driven escape or is it a direct outcome of the planet formation process? A number...

    Massive Stars in the SDSS-IV/APOGEE-2 Survey. II. OB-stars in the W345 Complexes
    In this work, we have applied a semi-empirical spectral classification method for OB-stars using the APOGEE spectrograph to a sample of candidates in the W3–W4...

    Massive stellar systems: observational challenges and perspectives in the E-ELT era
    We introduce the empirical framework concerning optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of crowded stellar fields. In particular, we address the impact that...

    Measuring masses in low mass X-ray binaries via X-ray spectroscopy: the case of MXB 1659-298
    The determination of fundamental parameters in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) typically relies on measuring the radial velocity curve of the companion star...
