Context. Current exoplanet surveys are focused on detecting small exoplanets orbiting in the liquid-water habitable zones of their host stars. Despite recent significant advancements in instrumentation, the main limitation in detecting these exoplanets is the intrinsic variability of the host star itself. Aims. Our aim is to investigate the

Aims. Previous estimates of planet occurrence rates in the CARMENES survey indicated increased numbers of planets on short orbits for M dwarfs with masses below 0.34M ⊙. Here we focused on the lowest-mass stars in the survey, comprising 15 inactive targets with masses under 0.16 M ⊙. Methods. To correct for detection biases, we determined detection

Context. The TESS mission is searching for transiting planets over the entire sky, including two continuous viewing zones. Data from the continuous viewing zones span a long time baseline and offer ideal conditions for precise planet radius estimations, enabling the community to prepare for the PLATO mission. Aims. We report on the validation and

Statistics that capture the directional dependence of the baryon distribution in the cosmic web enable unique tests of cosmology and astrophysical feedback. We use constrained oriented stacking of thermal Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (tSZ) maps to measure the anisotropic distribution of hot gas 2.5–40 Mpc away from galaxy clusters embedded in massive

Context. Prominences are cool overdensities of plasma supported by magnetic fields that levitate in the solar corona. The physical characterization of these structures is key for understanding the magnetic field in the corona. Aims. Our work attempts to shed light on the properties of prominences by using observations at high polarimetric

Coronal lines are forbidden emission lines with a ionisation potential χ ≳ 100 eV. They are linked to energetic phenomena triggered by active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the circumnuclear medium. We present the first high-angular-resolution integral-field analysis of the [Fe VII] λ6087 coronal line in a sample of four nearby low-inclination Seyfert
