  • Strong spectral features from asymptotic giant branch stars in distant quiescent galaxies
    Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary population synthesis models with different input physics are used for this purpose. Moreover, the contribution from the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stellar phase, which peaks

  • Hexa-(2-ethylhexyl)-hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene as archetypal model compound of asphaltenes and MAONs
    Hexa(ethylhexyl)-hexa-(peri)-hexabenzocoronene (HEH-HBC) was selected as model compound of asphaltenes. In fact, in the “island” model the asphaltenes are described with a relatively large aromatic core surrounded by aliphatic chains attached to the edges of the core. In their turn the asphaltenes are considered model compounds of MAONs (Mixed

  • Few EURONEAR NEA mini-surveys observed with the INT, KASI and T80S telescopes during the ParaSOL synthetic tracking project
    The modern synthetic tracking technique (ST) can make use of small and medium-sized telescopes to detect asteroids fainter than the classic blinking methods, by arbitrary shifting and co-adding more images of the same survey field, if GPU computing resources are available. In the framework of the Romanian ParaSOL project, we developed and tested an

  • Is the symbiotic recurrent nova T CrB late? Recent photometric evolution and comparison with past pre-outburst behaviour
    T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova that last erupted in 1946. Given its recurrence time-scale of approximately 80 yr, the next outburst is eagerly anticipated by the astronomical community. In this work, we analyse the optical light curves of T CrB, comparing recent photometric evolution with historical data to evaluate potential predictive

  • Year six photometric measurements of known Trans-Neptunian Objects and Centaurs by the Dark Energy Survey
    We identified known Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) and Centaurs in the complete Dark Energy Survey (DES) year six catalogue (DES Y6) through the Sky Body Tracker (SkyBoT) tool. We classified our data set of 144 objects into a widely used 4-class taxonomic system of TNOs. No such previous classification was available in the literature for most of

  • Wide Binary Orbits Are Preferentially Aligned with the Orbits of Small Planets, but Probably Not Hot Jupiters
    Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 au) can shed light on how planets form and evolve in binary systems. Previous observations by multiple groups discovered a possible alignment between the orbits of visual binaries and the exoplanets that reside in them
