Aims. Previous estimates of planet occurrence rates in the CARMENES survey indicated increased numbers of planets on short orbits for M dwarfs with masses below 0.34M ⊙. Here we focused on the lowest-mass stars in the survey, comprising 15 inactive targets with masses under 0.16 M ⊙. Methods. To correct for detection biases, we determined detection

Context. The TESS mission is searching for transiting planets over the entire sky, including two continuous viewing zones. Data from the continuous viewing zones span a long time baseline and offer ideal conditions for precise planet radius estimations, enabling the community to prepare for the PLATO mission. Aims. We report on the validation and

Symbiotic stars, interacting binaries composed of a cool giant and a hot compact companion, exhibit complex variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. Over the past decades, large-scale photometric and spectroscopic surveys from ground- and space-based observatories have significantly advanced their discovery and characterization. These

The Hera mission was launched on 7 October 2024 and will reach its destination, the binary asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos, in late 2026. Hera carries the hyperspectral imager Hyperscout-H. Its sensor consists of 2048 × 1088 pixels arranged in macro pixel blocks of 5 × 5 pixels. The 25 pixels of each block are covered with filters in 25 different

Statistics that capture the directional dependence of the baryon distribution in the cosmic web enable unique tests of cosmology and astrophysical feedback. We use constrained oriented stacking of thermal Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (tSZ) maps to measure the anisotropic distribution of hot gas 2.5–40 Mpc away from galaxy clusters embedded in massive

Context. Prominences are cool overdensities of plasma supported by magnetic fields that levitate in the solar corona. The physical characterization of these structures is key for understanding the magnetic field in the corona. Aims. Our work attempts to shed light on the properties of prominences by using observations at high polarimetric
