From the point of view of the intrinsic rotation, the Jupiter Trojans are not as well characterized as the main belt asteroids, primarily because the available...
LIGHTS. Survey Overview and a Search for Low Surface Brightness Satellite Galaxies
We present an overview of the LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures survey, which currently includes 25 nearby galaxies that are on average ∼1 mag...
LIGHTS. The extended point spread functions of the LIGHTS survey at the LBT
With the arrival of the next generation of ultra-deep optical imaging surveys reaching μV ∼ 30 mag/arcsec 2 (3 σ; 10′′ × 10′′), the removal of scattered light...
LIGHTS: A robust technique to identify galaxy edges
The LIGHTS survey is imaging galaxies at a depth and spatial resolution comparable to what the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will produce in 10 years...
Likely optical counterpart of the cool middle-aged pulsar J1957+5033
The 840-kyr-old pulsar PSR J1957+5033, detected so far only in γ- and X-rays, is a nearby and rather cool neutron star with a temperature of 0.2-0.3 MK, a...
Limitations of the Ca II 8542 Å Line for the Determination of Magnetic Field Oscillations
Chromospheric umbral oscillations produce periodic brightenings in the core of some spectral lines, known as umbral flashes. They are also accompanied by...
Limited impact of jet-induced feedback in the multi-phase nuclear interstellar medium of 4C12.50
Context. 4C12.50 (IRAS 13451+1232) at z = 0.122 is an ultraluminous infared radio galaxy that has often been proposed as a prime candidate for the link between...
Limiting the Abundance of LIGO/Virgo Black Holes with Microlensing Observations of Quasars of Finite Size
We present a simple but general argument that strongly limits the abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) (or other unknown population of compact objects)...
Limits on Hot Intracluster Gas Contributions to the Tenerife Temperature Anisotropy Map
We limit the contribution of the hot intracluster gas, by means of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, to the temperature anisotropies measured by the Tenerife...
