We present a sample of 341 "little red dots" (LRDs) spanning the redshift range z ∼ 2–11 using data from the CEERS, PRIMER, JADES, UNCOVER, and NGDEEP surveys. Unlike past use of color indices to identify LRDs, we employ continuum slope fitting using shifting bandpasses to sample the same rest-frame emission blueward and redward of the Balmer break

Context. Over ten mid-infrared (mid-IR) and X-ray models are currently attempting to describe the nuclear obscuring material of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), but many questions remain unresolved. Aims. This study aims to determine the physical parameters of the obscuring material in nearby AGNs and explore their relationship with nuclear activity

The discovery of the most metal-poor stream, C-19, provides us with a fossil record of a stellar structure born very soon after the big bang. In this work, we search for new C-19 members throughout the sky by combining two complementary stream-searching algorithms, STREAMFINDER and StarGO, and utilizing low-metallicity star samples from the

Aims. The Milky Way has a large population of dwarf galaxy satellites. Their properties are sensitive to both cosmology and the physical processes underlying galaxy formation, but these properties are still not properly characterised for the entire satellite population. Methods. We aim to provide the most accurate systemic dynamical and metallicity

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down to <2R Earth ) around bright stars (<11 mag), including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars

Context. Binary stars are gravitationally bound stellar systems where the evolution of each component can significantly influence the evolution of its companion and the system as a whole. In certain cases, the evolution of these systems can lead to the formation of a red giant-white dwarf system, which may exhibit symbiotic characteristics. Aims
