Using early data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, we search for active galactic nuclei (AGN) signatures in 410,757 line-emitting galaxies. By employing the BPT emission-line ratio diagnostic diagram, we identify AGNs in 75,928/296,261 (≈25.6%) high-mass ( 9.5) and 2444/114,496 (≈2.1%) dwarf ( 9.5) galaxies. Of these AGN

Context. One of the goals of the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the ESO 8.2 m telescope is to follow up on candidate planets from transit surveys such as the TESS mission. High-precision radial velocities are required to characterize small exoplanets. Aims. We intend to confirm the existence of a transiting super-Earth around the

Context. The C-19 stellar stream is the most metal-poor stream known to date. While its wth and velocity dispersion indicate a dwarf galaxy origin, its metallicity spread and abundance patterns are more similar to those of globular clusters (GCs). If it is indeed of GC origin, its extremely low metallicity ([Fe/H]=‑3.4, estimated from giant stars)

Context. The Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue of reliable photometric metallicities makes use of spectrophotometric information from Gaia DR3 XP spectra to calculate metallicity-sensitive CaHK magnitudes, which in turn provides photometric metallicities for ~30 million FGK stars using the Pristine survey model and the survey's training sample

NCORES was a large observing programme on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellite using the radial velocity technique. This paper presents an overview of the programme, its scientific goals and published results, covering 35 planets in 18 planetary

This work is part of a series of papers describing in detail the design and characterization of the LSPE-STRIP, a microwave telescope operating in the Q- and W-bands which is foreseen to be installed at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife. The paper aims to describe the Pointing Reconstruction Model (PRM) and the prototype Star Tracker, which
