Description
Pierced mirrors are used in high resolution and ultrastable spectrographs to feed guiding cameras and to improve the target stability. This paper describes the concept, design, manufacture, test and integration of ESPRESSO pierced mirrors which are part of the Fiber Link subsystem. ESPRESSO is a spectrograph located in the Coude Laboratory of VLT that can be feed by the light of any VLT telescope. Similar mirrors will be used in the Fiber Link subsystem of NIRSP spectrograph which is an Infrared spectrograph for the 3.6 m telescope of the Silla Observatory.

    Accretion-induced variability of interacting red giant binaries masquerading as oscillations
    Symbiotic stars are strongly interacting binaries with long orbital periods, containing an evolved red giant and a white dwarf or a neutron star embedded in a circumbinary nebula. They constitute unique astrophysical laboratories important for understanding the binary evolution and diverse processes occurring also in many other types of

    2 Young 2 Furious - Challenges and opportunities in the study of young exoplanets
    Current theories of planetary evolution predict that infant giant planets have large radii and very low densities before they slowly contract to reach their final size after about several hundred million years. These theoretical expectations have remained untested for a long time, as the detection and characterization of very young planets is

    The mysterious globular cluster population of NGC5846-UDG1 (MATLAS-2019)
    The number of globular clusters plays a fundamental role in understanding the early stages of galaxy formation. We know that the GC population of normal galaxies correlates with the amount of dark matter in these objects. Extending this analysis to the number of globulars in very low surface brightness galaxies is therefore key to understanding the
