We report the discovery and characterisation of a giant transiting planet orbiting a nearby M3.5V dwarf (d = 80.4pc, G = 15.1 mag, K=11.2mag, R * = 0.358 ± 0.015 R ⊙, M * = 0.340 ± 0.009 M ⊙). Using the photometric time series from TESS sectors 10, 36, 46, and 63 and near-infrared spectrophotometry from ExTrA, we measured a planetary radius of 0.77

Aims: Knowledge of rotation periods (P rot) is important for understanding the magnetic activity and angular momentum evolution of late-type stars, as well as for evaluating radial velocity signals of potential exoplanets and identifying false positives. We measured photometric and spectroscopic P rot for a large sample of nearby bright M dwarfs

We use spectral energy distribution fitting to place constraints on the stellar populations of 59 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the low-to-moderate density fields of the MATLAS survey. We use the routine PROSPECTOR, coupled with archival data in the optical from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, and near- and mid-infrared imaging from the

Detailed chemical studies of F/G/K - or solar-type - stars have long been routine in stellar astrophysics, enabling studies in both Galactic chemodynamics and exoplanet demographics. However, similar understanding of the chemistry of M and late-K dwarfs - the most common stars in the Galaxy - has been greatly hampered both observationally and

We study the circular polarization of the magnetic-field-induced transition (MIT) between the 3d 5( 6 S)4d 7 D 2 and 3d 5( 6 S)4p 7 P 4° states of Cr I at 533.03 nm (wavelength in air). The fractional circular polarization V/I of this spectral line resulting from the solution of the radiation transfer problem in a sunspot model permeated by a

The discovery of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov offered the unique opportunity to obtain a detailed analysis of an object coming from another planetary system, and leaving behind material in our interplanetary space. We continuously observed 2I/Borisov between 2019 October 3 and December 13 using the 1.52-m Telescopio Carlos Sánchez equipped with
