We investigate the feasibility of detecting decameter-scale objects on day-side trajectories in infrared wavelengths from space, prior to their close encounters with Earth. Specifically, we examine a 20-m object on a Chelyabinsk-progenitor orbit (Jan/Feb 2013) and the 60-m potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 (Nov/Dec 2024 & 2032) during their

We present spatially resolved spectroscopic observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6720, the Ring Nebula, taken during the science verification phase of WEAVE, a new instrument mounted on the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma. We use the instrument's Large Integral Field Unit (LIFU) to obtain spectra of the Ring Nebula, covering its entire

We present a multiwavelength analysis of the fast X-ray transient EP241021a, discovered by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope aboard the Einstein Probe satellite on 2024 October 21. The event was not detected in gamma-rays. Follow-up observations from $\sim$1.5 to 100 d post-trigger were obtained across X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, near-infrared, and

The near-infrared calcium II triplet (CaT), around 850 nm, is a key metallicity indicator for red giant stars. We present a revised [Fe/H] calibration as a function of CaT line strengths and four luminosity indicators, including the Gaia G band, together with the classical V, I, and $K_s$ bandpasses. For this purpose, we used a sample of 366 red
