Aims. We investigate how to quantitatively model the observed differential image motion (DIM) in relative astrometric observations. Methods. As a test bed we used differential astrometric observations from the FORS2 camera of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) obtained during 2010–2019 under several programs of observations of southern brown dwarfs

C-complex asteroids are dark, low-albedo objects, mainly containing carbon components. Their spectra are usually featureless, especially in the visible-near-infrared (VNIR) wavelengths. However, for some taxonomic types, absorption has been found in the near-UV (NUV) range. Laboratory studies have shown similarities to spectra of chondrite

We report the first spatially resolved detection of the near-infrared [C I] λ8727 emission from the outer pair of low-ionization structures in the planetary nebula NGC 7009 from data obtained by the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer integral field unit. This atomic carbon emission marks the transition zone between ionized and neutral gas and for

We present the stellar value-added catalogue based on the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Early Data Release. The catalogue contains radial velocity and stellar parameter measurements for $\simeq$ 400 000 unique stars observed during commissioning and survey validation by DESI. These observations were made under conditions similar to

High-resolution galaxy spectra encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. The properties of the stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, provide insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time. We explore a simulation-based inference (SBI)

This research explores the surface properties of ten Centaurs through their reflective properties in the 0.6-5.3 μm range obtained using the JWST/NIRSpec spectrograph in the framework of two different programs: the JWST GO-1 large program "Discovering the Surface Composition of the trans-Neptunian Objects, Icy Embryos for Planet Formation" (DiSCo
