    Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs (BEARD): I. Physical drivers of the mass-size relation for Milky Way-like galaxies
    In the standard Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda-CDM) cosmology, galaxies grow by gradually accreting material and through mergers with other galaxies. This...

    Calibrating the Rossby number, a key parameter to study the magnetic activity of stars
    In a star like the Sun, surface magnetic activity results from the interaction between rotation, convection, and magnetic field. One of the key parameters to...

    Challenging the theoretically predicted mass-loss rate increase of blue supergiants in the bi-stability region of the stellar winds
    The properties of blue supergiants are key for constraining the end of the main sequence phase, a phase during which massive stars spend most of their lifetimes...
