We consider stochastically quantized self-interacting scalar fields as suitable models to generate dark energy in the Universe. Second quantization effects lead...

The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries...

We present a second paper of a complete characterization of stars whose low-depth transits were discovered by the OGLE-III campaign to select the most promising...

Context. A crucial aspect of galaxy evolution is the pace at which galaxies build up their mass. We can investigate this hierarchical assembly by uncovering and...

Context. The NASA Lucy mission is designed to collect data that will be used to study the very interesting population of Jupiter Trojans, which are considered...

Context. The TOI-421 planetary system contains two sub-Neptune-type planets (P b ~ 5.2 days, T eq, b ~ 900 K, and P c ~ 16.1 days, T eq,c ~ 650 K) and is a...

Characterisation of atmospheres undergoing photo-evaporation is key to understanding the formation, evolution, and diversity of planets. However, only a few...

Context. Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as 'lonely' and only...

Context. The exoplanet sub-Neptune population currently poses a conundrum, as to whether small-size planets are volatile-rich cores without an atmosphere, or...
