This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the stellar content in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 by comparing stellar evolution models and observations in color–magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and color–color diagrams (CC-Ds). Our analysis is based on optical ground-based g, r, i photometry, and deep archival Hubble Space Telescope

Context. Current exoplanet surveys are focused on detecting small exoplanets orbiting in the liquid-water habitable zones of their host stars. Despite recent significant advancements in instrumentation, the main limitation in detecting these exoplanets is the intrinsic variability of the host star itself. Aims. Our aim is to investigate the

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

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
