Context The origin of phosphorus, one of the essential elements for life on Earth, is currently unknown. Prevalent models of Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) systematically underestimate the amount of P compared to observations, especially at low metallicities. The recently discovered P-rich ([P/Fe] ≳ 1.2 dex) and metal-poor ([Fe/H] ≃ −1.0 dex)

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation ground-based very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory. The first of the Large Size Telescopes (LST1), is already under commissioning at Roque de los Muchachos observatory, in La Palma. The unprecedented sensitivity at short timescales of CTA will make of this observatory the

Context. Exoplanets with orbital periods of less than one day are known as ultra-short period (USP) planets. They are relatively rare products of planetary formation and evolution processes, but especially favourable for characterisation with current planet detection methods. At the time of writing, 125 USP planets have already been confirmed. Aims

We present the VST ATLAS Quasar Survey, consisting of ~1229 000 quasar (QSO) candidates with 16 < g < 22.5 over ~4700 deg 2. The catalogue is based on VST ATLAS+NEOWISE imaging surveys and aims to reach a QSO sky density of 130 deg -2 for $z$ < 2.2 and ~30 deg -2 for $z$ > 2.2. To guide our selection, we use X-ray/UV/optical/MIR data in the

The Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes is completing a strategic change for the scientific use of its two telescopes, the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). After more than 30 years operating as multi-purpose telescopes, the telescopes will soon complete their shift to nearly-single instrument operation

Context. Quaoar is a classical trans-Neptunian object (TNO) with an area-equivalent diameter of 1100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultations observed between 2018 and 2021, an inhomogeneous ring (Q1R, i.e., Quaoar's first ring) has been detected around this body. Aims: A new stellar occultation by
