To identify long-period variable (LPV) stars in IC 10—the nearest starburst galaxy of the Local Group—we conducted an optical monitoring survey using the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope with the wide-field camera (WFC) in the i band and V band from 2015 to 2017. We created a photometric catalog for 53,579 stars within the area of CCD4 of WFC (∼0.07

The Hera mission of the European Space Agency was launched successfully on October 7, 2024 and will perform the first rendezvous with a binary asteroid in fall 2026. It will measure in great detail the characteristics of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos. This will include for the first time the interior of an asteroid, as well as the outcome of

Context. The measurement of the tiny temporal evolution in the redshift of distant objects, the redshift drift, is a powerful probe of universal expansion and cosmology. Aims. We performed the first steps towards the measurement of such an effect using the Lyman-α forest in the spectra of bright quasars as a tracer of cosmological expansion. Our

Galaxy evolution is largely driven by star formation activity or by the cessation of it, also called star formation quenching. In this paper, we present fundamental star formation scaling relations for groups of galaxies at different evolutionary stages. To do so, we used the integrated Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution (iEDGE), which

Studying galaxy evolution requires knowledge not only of the stellar properties, but also of the interstellar medium (in particular the molecular phase) out of which stars form, using a statistically significant and unbiased sample of galaxies. To this end, we introduce here the integrated Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution (iEDGE), a

We compare the internal stellar structures of central galaxies in the TNG50 and TNG100 simulations and field galaxies in the CALIFA survey. The luminosity fractions of the dynamically cold, warm, and hot components in both TNG50 and TNG100 galaxies exhibit general consistency with those observed in CALIFA galaxies. For example, they all exhibit a
