Context. The solar spectrum is a primary reference for the study of physical processes in stars and their variation during activity cycles. High resolution...
A fresh look at the seismic spectrum of HD49933: analysis of 180 days of CoRoT photometry
Context: Solar-like oscillations have now been observed in several stars, thanks to ground-based spectroscopic observations and space-borne photometry. CoRoT...
A full transit of v<SUP>2</SUP> Lupi d and the search for an exomoon in its Hill sphere with CHEOPS
The planetary system around the naked-eye star v 2 Lupi (HD 136352; TOI-2011) is composed of three exoplanets with masses of 4.7, 11.2, and 8.6 Earth masses (M...
A fundamental plane for field star-forming galaxies
Context. Star formation rate (SFR), metallicity, and stellar mass are among the most important parameters of star-forming (SF) galaxies characterizing their...
A geometric distance to the supermassive black Hole of NGC 3783
The angular size of the broad line region (BLR) of the nearby active galactic nucleus NGC 3783 has been spatially resolved by recent observations with VLTI...
A giant thin stellar stream in the Coma Galaxy Cluster
The study of dynamically cold stellar streams reveals information about the gravitational potential where they reside and provides important constraints on the...
A giant umbrella-like stellar stream around the tidal ring galaxy NGC 922
Context. Tidal ring galaxies (TRGs) are rarely observed in the local universe due to their intrinsically transient nature. The tidal ring structures are the...
A half-a-day long thermonuclear X-ray burst from KS 1731-260
We report on an approximately twelve hour long X-ray flare from the low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260. The flare has a rise time of less than 13 min and...
A He I upper atmosphere around the warm Neptune GJ 3470 b
High resolution transit spectroscopy has proven to be a reliable technique for the characterization of the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. Taking...
