POLIS: A spectropolarimeter for the VTT and for GREGOR
The polarimetric Littrow Spectrograph POLIS is designed for vector polarimetry at high angular and spectral resolution. It measures the magnetic field...
Possible detection of a bimodal cloud distribution in the atmosphere of HAT-P-32 A b from multiband photometry
We present high-precision photometry of eight separate transit events in the HAT-P-32 planetary system. One transit event was observed simultaneously by two...
Possible detection of phase changes from the non-transiting planet HD 46375b by CoRoT
Context. The present work deals with the detection of phase changes in an exoplanetary system. HD 46375 is a solar analog known to host a non-transiting Saturn...
Possible ring material around centaur (2060) Chiron
We propose that several short-duration events observed in past stellar occultations by Chiron were produced by ring material. Some similarities between these...
Post maximum light and late time optical imaging polarimetry of type I superluminous supernova 2020znr
Optical imaging polarimetry was conducted on the hydrogen poor superluminous supernova 2020znr during three phases after maximum light (≍ +34 d, +288 d, and...
Powerful mechanical-driven outflows in the central parsecs of the low-luminosity active galactic nucleus ESO 428-G14
Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGNs) are characterized for low-radiative efficiency, much less than one percent of their Eddington limit. Nevertheless...
Pre-main sequence spectroscopic binaries suitable for VLTI observations
Context: A severe problem for research in star-formation is that the masses of young stars are almost always estimated from evolutionary tracks alone. Since the...
Pre-perihelion monitoring of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
The discovery of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov offered the unique opportunity to obtain a detailed analysis of an object coming from another planetary system...
Precise characterisation of HD 15337 with CHEOPS: A laboratory for planet formation and evolution
Context. The HD 15337 (TIC 120896927, TOI-402) system was observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), revealing the presence of two short...
