For the large population of massive stars lying behind dust, among which are the youngests and potentially the most massive of our Galaxy, none of the commonly...

WEB, the Wind Evaluation Breadboard, is an Extremely Large Telescope Primary Mirror simulator, developed with the aim of quantifying the ability of a segmented...

The Wind Evaluation Breadboard (WEB) for the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is a primary mirror and telescope simulator formed by seven segments...

The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4.2-m solar telescope, based on an aplanatic Gregorian configuration with an alt-azimuthal mount. EST has an open...

Telescope enclosures are used to limit the disturbance caused by the wind on the pointing and tracking performances of telescopes and to preserve primary mirror...

Here we present a self-consistent stationary solution for spherically symmetric winds driven by massive star clusters under the impact of radiative cooling. We...

A large fraction of all stars, after experiencing heavy winds at the end of the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase, leave behind a core that is below the...

In the race to break the SMC frontier and reach metallicity conditions closer to the First Stars the information from UV spectroscopy is usually overlooked. New...

Very low metallicity massive stars are a key piece to understanding the infant, extremely metal-poor Universe and its early development. Our models for these...
