    Multiplicity among the cool supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds
    The characterization of multiplicity of high-mass stars is of fundamental importance to understand their evolution, the diversity of observed core-collapse...
  • Publication
    Multiplicity of the red supergiant population in the young massive cluster NGC 330
    Context. The multiplicity properties of massive stars are one of the important outstanding issues in stellar evolution. Quantifying the binary statistics of all...

    Multiwavelength Observations of the Black Hole Transient XTE J1752–223 during Its 2010 Outburst Decay
    Galactic black hole transients show many interesting phenomena during outburst decays. We present simultaneous X-ray (RXTE, Swift, and INTEGRAL), and optical...

    MuSCAT2 multicolour validation of TESS candidates: an ultra-short-period substellar object around an M dwarf
    Context. We report the discovery of TOI 263.01 (TIC 120916706), a transiting substellar object (R = 0.87 R Jup) orbiting a faint M3.5 V dwarf (V = 18.97) on a 0...

    MUSE spectroscopy of planetary nebulae with high abundance discrepancies
    We present MUSE deep integral-field unit spectroscopy of three planetary nebulae (PNe) with high-abundance discrepancy factors (ADF > 20): NGC 6778, M 1-42, and...

    MUSSES2020J: The Earliest Discovery of a Fast Blue Ultraluminous Transient at Redshift 1.063
    In this Letter, we report the discovery of an ultraluminous fast-evolving transient in rest-frame UV wavelengths, MUSSES2020J, soon after its occurrence by...

    NanoFull: Fullerene- and graphene-based molecular nanostructures in circumstellar envelopes
    NanoFull is an ambitious interdisciplinary project to: i) understand the process of formation process of fullerene- and graphene-based molecular nanostructures...
  • Publication
    Nature of a shell of young stars in the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Context. Understanding the evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds requires an in-depth exploration and characterization of the stellar content in their...

    Near-infrared spectroscopy in NGC 7538
    Aims: The characterisation of the stellar population in young high-mass star-forming regions allows fundamental cluster properties like distance and age to be...
