Aims. The Milky Way has a large population of dwarf galaxy satellites. Their properties are sensitive to both cosmology and the physical processes underlying galaxy formation, but these properties are still not properly characterised for the entire satellite population. Methods. We aim to provide the most accurate systemic dynamical and metallicity

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down to <2R Earth ) around bright stars (<11 mag), including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars

Context. Binary stars are gravitationally bound stellar systems where the evolution of each component can significantly influence the evolution of its companion and the system as a whole. In certain cases, the evolution of these systems can lead to the formation of a red giant-white dwarf system, which may exhibit symbiotic characteristics. Aims

Magnetic fields play a significant role in star-forming processes on core to clump scales. We investigate magnetic field orientations and strengths in the massive star-forming clump P2 within the filamentary infrared dark cloud G28.34+0.06 using dust polarization observations made using SCUBA-2/POL-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) as

We present the Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS), a Hubble Space Telescope Treasury Program dedicated to the observation of all kinematically confirmed Milky Way globular clusters that missed previous Hubble imaging. After introducing the aims of the programme and describing its target clusters, we showcase the first results of the

Phosphorus is an essential element for biological systems, but its synthesis and dispersion over the history of the Milky Way has defied galactic evolution models. The molecular hydride form of phosphorus, phosphine (PH 3), should be abundant in the atmospheres of low-temperature brown dwarfs and gas giant exoplanets, as it is in Jupiter and Saturn
