Relics are massive, compact and quiescent galaxies that assembled the majority of their stars in the early Universe and lived untouched until today, completely missing any subsequent size growth caused by mergers and interactions. They provide the unique opportunity to put constraints on the first phase of mass assembly in the Universe with the

Aims. Our aim was to study the chromospheric line-of-sight (LOS) velocities during the GOES M3.2 flare (SOL2013-05-17T08:43) using simultaneous high-resolution ground-based spectroscopic data of the He I 10830 Å triplet and Ca II 8542 Å line. A filament was present in the flaring area. Methods. The observational data were acquired with the Vacuum

Writing proposals and job applications is arguably one of the most important tasks in the career of a scientist. The proposed ideas must be scientifically compelling, but how a proposal is planned, written and presented can make an enormous difference. This Perspective is the third in a series aimed at training the writing skills of professional

Luminous and Ultra-luminous IR galaxies ((U)LIRGs) are critical for investigating feedback mechanisms due to a combination of intense star formation (SF) episodes and active galactic nuclei (AGN), particularly in the context of complex galaxy interactions. We conduct a detailed analysis of the II ZW 096 merging system using the Multi-Unit

Dwarf novae are astrophysical laboratories for probing the nature of accretion, binary mass transfer, and binary evolution, but their diverse observational characteristics continue to challenge our theoretical understanding. We here present the discovery of and subsequent observing campaign on GOTO065054+593624 (hereafter GOTO0650), a dwarf nova of

We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a 1.25R J ‑ 0.07 R J + 0.08 R J , 5.89M J ± 0.26M J giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at d ≃ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. Radial velocity (RV) observations of TOI-4465 showed a
