Recently, the exploitation of spectropolarimetric data has allowed to improve our knowledge of the dynamical and magnetic response of the photospheric and chromospheric layers to the rapid release of energy occurring during solar flares. In this framework, we have used high-resolution observations acquired on 22nd October 2014 during an X1.6

A number of scenarios have been proposed to explain the low velocity dispersion (and hence possible absence of dark matter) of the low surface brightness galaxies NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4. Most of the proposed mechanisms are based on the removal of dark matter via the interaction of these galaxies with other objects. A common feature of these

The star counting technique by the PAndAS survey reveals that M33 is undergoing a tidal interaction with its massive neighbor, M31. Due to this interaction, the stellar halo of M33 shows faint tidal features. These features are only visible at extremely low surface brightness levels (i.e. >30 mag/arcsec^2). For this reason, M33 is a perfect test

The dynamical study of nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies has played a fundamental role in challenging the cold dark matter model. These studies, based on the analysis of resolved stellar populations, are limited by the fact that we can only probe a small population of the nearest nearby galaxies. In the coming years, ultra-deep surveys will increase

We present eclipse maps of the two-dimensional thermal emission from the dayside of the hot-Jupiter WASP-43b, derived from an observation of a phase curve with the JWST MIRI/LRS instrument. The observed eclipse shapes deviate significantly from those expected for a planet emitting uniformly over its surface. We fit a map to this deviation

We present the discovery of three super-Earth candidates orbiting HD 48948, a bright K-dwarf star with an apparent magnitude of $m_V$ = 8.58 mag. As part of the HARPS-N Rocky Planet Search programme, we collect 189 high-precision radial velocity measurements using the HARPS-N spectrograph from 2013 October 6, to 2023 April 16.
