The old, metal-poor, anticentre open cluster Trumpler 5
As part of a long-term programme, we analyse the evolutionary status and properties of the old and populous open cluster Trumpler 5 (Tr 5), located in the...
The OmegaWhite Survey for short period variable stars - II. An overview of results from the first four years
OmegaWhite is a wide-field, high cadence, synoptic survey targeting fields in the southern Galactic plane, with the aim of discovering short period variable...
We analyse the poorly studied open cluster King 1 in the second Galactic quadrant. From wide-field photometry, we have studied the spatial distribution of this...
The optical + infrared L dwarf spectral sequence of young planetary-mass objects in the Upper Scorpius association
We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic follow-ups of the lowest mass member candidates in the nearest OB association, Upper Scorpius (∼5-10 Myr...
The optical behaviour of BL Lacertae at its maximum brightness levels: a blend of geometry and energetics
In 2021 BL Lacertae underwent an extraordinary activity phase, which was intensively followed by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration. We...
The optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26
We present a 30-day monitoring campaign of the optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, starting only 19 min after the discovery of the...
The optical morphologies of the 2 Jy sample of radio galaxies: evidence for galaxy interactions
We present deep Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph South (GMOS-S)/Gemini optical broad-band images for a complete sample of 46 southern 2 Jy radio galaxies at...
WASP-4 b is a hot Jupiter exhibiting a decreasing orbital period, prompting investigations into potential mechanisms driving its evolution. We analysed 173...
We present intermediate resolution spectroscopy of the dwarf nova CY UMa in quiescence. From the radial velocities of the Hα emission, we derive an orbital...
