Context. Carbon abundances in first-ascent giant stars are usually lower than those of their main-sequence counterparts. At moderate metallicities, stellar...

We provide a new collection of spectra of 35 carbon stars obtained with the ESO/VLT X-Shooter instrument as part of the X-Shooter Spectral Library project. The...

We present deep spectrophotometry of 18 H II regions in the nearby massive spiral galaxies M 101 and M 31. We have obtained direct determinations of electron...

Eleven models of Galactic chemical evolution, differing in the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen yields adopted, have been computed to reproduce the Galactic O/H...

We present an on-going project consisting of analysis of a sample of twenty-five metal-poor stars, most of them carbon-enriched and thus tagged carbon-enhanced...

Aims: In this paper we introduce CaRM, a semi-automatic code for the retrieval of broadband transmission spectra of transiting planets through the chromatic...

Ultra-hot Jupiters are highly irradiated gas giants with equilibrium temperatures typically higher than 2000 K. Atmospheric studies of these planets have shown...

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...

Aims: We search for low-mass companions of M dwarfs and characterize their multiplicity fraction with the purpose of helping in the selection of the most...
