An automated system to classify stellar spectra - I
Analyses of stellar spectra often begin with the determination of a number of parameters that define a model atmosphere. This work presents a prototype for an...
An eclipsing double-line spectroscopic binary at the stellar/substellar boundary in the Upper Scorpius OB association
Aims: We aim at constraining evolutionary models at low mass and young ages by identifying interesting transiting system members of the nearest OB association...
An effective temperature calibration for solar type stars using equivalent width ratios. A fast and easy spectroscopic temperature estimation
Aims: Precise determination of the stellar effective temperature of solar type stars is extremely important for astrophysics. We present an effective...
An empirical spectral library of chemically well characterized stars for stellar population modelling
With the goal of assembling a new generation of more realistic single stellar population (SSP) models, we have obtained magnesium abundances for nearly 80% of...
An enhanced slope in the transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-104b
We present the optical transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-104b based on one transit observed by the blue and red channels of the Double Spectrograph...
An ESPRESSO view of the HD 189733 system. Broadband transmission spectrum, differential rotation, and system architecture
Context. The development of state-of-the-art spectrographs has ushered in a new era in the detection and characterization of exoplanetary systems. The...
An extensive spectroscopic time series of three Wolf-Rayet stars - I. The lifetime of large-scale structures in the wind of WR 134
During the summer of 2013, a 4-month spectroscopic campaign took place to observe the variabilities in three Wolf-Rayet stars. The spectroscopic data have been...
An image of the dust sublimation region in the nucleus of NGC 1068
We present near-infrared interferometric data on the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory Very...
An impressionist view of V Hydrae. When MATISSE paints asymmetric giant blobs
Context. Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars enrich the interstellar medium through their mass loss. The mechanism(s) shaping the circumstellar environment of...
