    TOI-150: A Transiting Hot Jupiter in the TESS Southern CVZ
    We report the detection of a hot Jupiter ({M}p={1.75}-0.17+0.14 {M}{{J}}, R p = 1.38 ± 0.04 R J) orbiting a middle-aged star ({log}g={4.152}-0.043+0.030) in the...

    TOI-519 b: A short-period substellar object around an M dwarf validated using multicolour photometry and phase curve analysis
    Context. We report the discovery of TOI-519 b (TIC 218795833), a transiting substellar object (R = 1.07 R Jup) orbiting a faint M dwarf (V = 17.35) on a 1.26 d...

    Toluene pyrolysis in an electric ARC: Products analysis
    Toluene pyrolysis in a submerged carbon arc produced at least 72 different molecular species as detected by gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry...

    Toward an Internally Consistent Astronomical Distance Scale
    Accurate astronomical distance determination is crucial for all fields in astrophysics, from Galactic to cosmological scales. Despite, or perhaps because of...

    Towards a more complete sample of binary central stars of planetary nebulae with Gaia
    Context. Many if not most planetary nebulae (PNe) are now thought to be the outcome of binary evolutionary scenarios. However, only a few percent of the PNe in...

    Towards a new classification of galaxies: principal component analysis of CALIFA circular velocity curves
    We present a galaxy classification system for 238 (E1-Sdm) CALIFA (Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area) galaxies based on the shapes and amplitudes of their...

    Towards the understanding of the late stages of stellar evolution and the formation of complex organic molecules
    Most of the stars (M < 8 solar masses, Ms) end their lives with a phase of strong mass loss on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), just before they form...

    Tracing Chemical Evolution over the Extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars
    We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of...

    Tracing the stellar component of low surface brightness Milky Way dwarf galaxies to their outskirts. I. Sextans
    Aims: We present results from deep and very spatially extended CTIO/DECam g and r photometry (reaching out to 2 mag below the oldest main-sequence turn-off and...
