Constraints on the dust extinction law of the Galaxy
This work explores data from a few surveys, most notably the serendipitous catalogue from the NASA SWIFT mission that made use of the NUV/optical camera UVOT...
Constraints on the in situ and ex situ stellar masses in nearby galaxies obtained with artificial intelligence
The hierarchical model of galaxy evolution suggests that mergers have a substantial impact on the intricate processes that drive stellar assembly within a...
Cosmic amorphous dust in the interstellar medium as a possible explanation for the Anomalous Microwave Emission
The main emission mechanisms of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the spectral range between the radio and the far infrared are very well characterised and...
Stellar ages are key to several fields of astrophysics such as exoplanet research, galactic-archeology, and of course stellar physics. Obtaining the ages of...
Detection of Methane in the Closest Extreme Metal-poor T Dwarf
WISEA J181006.18-101000.5 (WISE1810) is the nearest metal-poor ultracool dwarf to the Sun. It has a low effective temperature and has been classified as an...
Detection of TiO and Na in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-65b
We present the low-resolution transmission spectra of the puffy hot Jupiter HAT-P-65b (0.53 MJup, 1.89 RJup, Teq = 1930 K), based on two transits observed using...
Discovery of a massive black hole companion to a B-type star from radial velocity measurements
All stellar-mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted from gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems...
Discovery of a transiting hot water-world candidate orbiting Ross 176 with TESS and CARMENES
The TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission has discovered many exoplanet candidates that need to be confirmed and characterized from the ground...
Discovery of a young forming planet around the nearby star AU Mic
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is the second closest pre-main-sequence star, at a distance of 9.79 parsecs and with an age of 22 million years . AU Mic possesses a...
