  • Pre-perihelion monitoring of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
    The discovery of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov offered the unique opportunity to obtain a detailed analysis of an object coming from another planetary system, and leaving behind material in our interplanetary space. We continuously observed 2I/Borisov between 2019 October 3 and December 13 using the 1.52-m Telescopio Carlos Sánchez equipped with

  • Planets observed with CHEOPS. Two super-Earths orbiting the red dwarf star TOI-776
    Context. M-dwarf stars are the most common of potential exoplanet host stars in the Galaxy. It is therefore very important to understand planetary systems orbiting such stars and to determine the physical parameters of such planets with high precision. Also with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) the observation of atmospheric

  • Performance and first measurements of the MAGIC stellar intensity interferometer
    In recent years, a new generation of optical intensity interferometers has emerged, leveraging the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The MAGIC telescopes host the MAGIC-SII system (Stellar Intensity Interferometer), implemented to investigate the feasibility and potential of this technique on IACTs. After

  • OGLE-2014-BLG-0221Lb: A Jupiter Mass Ratio Companion Orbiting Either a Late-type Star or a Stellar Remnant
    We present the analysis of the microlensing event OGLE-2014-BLG-0221, a planetary candidate event discovered in 2014. The photometric light curve is best described by a binary-lens single-source model. Our light-curve modeling finds two degenerate models, with event timescales of t E ∼ 70 days and ∼110 days. These timescales are relatively long

  • Observational Tests of Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback: An Overview of Approaches and Interpretation
    Growing supermassive black holes (Active Galactic Nuclei; AGN) release energy with the potential to alter their host galaxies and larger-scale environment; a process named "AGN feedback". Feedback is a required component of galaxy formation models and simulations to explain the observed properties of galaxy populations. We provide a broad overview

  • Observational evidence of different formation mechanisms of Solar System-type architectures across spectral types
    Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the
