    MCAO near-IR photometry of the globular cluster NGC 6388: MAD observations in crowded fields
    Context: Deep photometry of crowded fields, such as Galactic globular clusters, is severely limited by the resolution of ground-based telescopes. On the other...

    Measuring and characterizing the line profile of HARPS with a laser frequency comb
    Aims: We study the 2D spectral line profile of the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), measuring its variation with position across the...

    Measuring dark matter flows in merging clusters of galaxies
    The Rees-Sciama effect produced in mergers of galaxy clusters is discussed, and an analytical approximation to compute this effect from numerical simulations is...

    Measuring stellar surface rotation and activity with the PLATO mission: I. Strategy and application to simulated light curves
    The Planetary Transits and Oscillations of stars mission (PLATO) will allow us to measure surface rotation and monitor photometric activity of tens of thousands...

    MELCHIORS. The Mercator Library of High Resolution Stellar Spectroscopy
    Aims: Over the past decades, libraries of stellar spectra have been used in a large variety of science cases, including as sources of reference spectra for a...

    Membership, rotation, and lithium abundances in the open clusters NGC 2451 A and B
    High-resolution spectra of 30 late-type and 9 early-type candidate members of the young (˜50-80 Myr) open clusters NGC 2451 A and B have been analyzed in order...

    Menzel 3: Dissecting the ant
    The structure and kinematics of the bipolar nebula Mz 3 have been investigated by means of HST, CTIO and ESO images and spectra. At least four distinct outflows...

    Merger induced clump formation in distant infrared luminous starburst galaxies
    While the formation of stellar clumps in distant galaxies is usually attributed to gravitational violent disk instabilities, we show here that major mergers...

    Merging in the common envelope and the origin of early R-type stars
    Context. Binary systems experiencing one or two common envelope episodes during the red giant branch or the Hertzsprung gap phases can produce a single star...
