    Fluorescent Excitation of Balmer Lines in Gaseous Nebulae: Case D
    Nonionizing stellar continua are a potential source of photons for continuum pumping in the hydrogen Lyman transitions. In the environments where these...

    Forbidden hugs in pandemic times. I. Luminous red nova AT 2019zhd, a new merger in M 31
    We present the follow-up campaign of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT 2019zhd, the third event of this class observed in M 31. The object was followed by several...

    Forbidden hugs in pandemic times. II. The luminous red nova variety: AT 2020hat and AT 2020kog
    We present the results of our monitoring campaigns of the luminous red novae (LRNe) AT 2020hat in NGC 5068 and AT 2020kog in NGC 6106. The two objects were...

    Formation of Fullerenes in H-containing Planetary Nebulae
    Hydrogen depleted environments are considered an essential requirement for the formation of fullerenes. The recent detection of C60 and C70 fullerenes in what...

    Forty-four New and Known M-dwarf Multiples in the SDSS-III/APOGEE M-dwarf Ancillary Science Sample
    Binary stars make up a significant portion of all stellar systems. Consequently, an understanding of the bulk properties of binary stars is necessary for a full...

    Fossil group origins. II. Unveiling the formation of the brightest group galaxies through their scaling relations
    Context. Fossil systems are galaxy associations dominated by a relatively isolated, bright elliptical galaxy, surrounded by a group of smaller galaxies lacking...

    Fossil groups origins. I. RX J105453.3+552102 a very massive and relaxed system at z ~ 0.5
    Context. The most accepted scenario for the origin of fossil groups is that they are galaxy associations in which the merging rate was fast and efficient. These...

    From the bulge to the outer disc: StarHorse stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions for stars in APOGEE DR16 and other spectroscopic surveys
    We combine high-resolution spectroscopic data from APOGEE-2 survey Data Release 16 (DR16) with broad-band photometric data from several sources as well as...
