Description
We present a theoretical investigation on the influence of a deterministic magnetic field on the linear and circular polarization of the Na I, K I, and Ba II D2 lines. We describe the three ions by means of a three-level atomic model, and we take into account the hyperfine structure which is shown by some isotopes. We focus on the ``solar prominence case'', in which an optically thin slab of chromospheric plasma, situated 7000 km above the visible solar ``surface'', and permeated by a magnetic field of given strength and orientation, is illuminated from below by the continuum photospheric radiation field.

    Mass and radius determination of young planets and the implications for their gas envelope evolution
    Despite thousands of extrasolar planets discovered to date, the dominant mechanisms forming planets and the timescales of planetary migration and atmospheric evaporation remain to be probed observationally. To shed light on these mechanisms, we performed a combined photometric and spectroscopic analysis of several young transiting systems at

    Participation to the PLATO Ground-Based Observation Programme
    The ESA PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) mission aims at the detection and characterisation (radii, mass, density, age) of terrestrial exoplanets in orbits up to the habitable zone around Sun-like stars. To achieve these goals, an optimised complementary Ground-based Observations Programme (GOP) is set up with the purpose to

    Unveiling the central kpc of Type I AGN host galaxies in seeing-limited IFS data
    The evolution of galaxies appears linked to the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBH), as evidenced by empirical scale relations between hosts' large-scale properties and the mass of their central black holes. This co-evolutionary scenario suggests that all galaxies experience nuclear activity — active phases during which the black hole
