Using high-precision photometry, NASA's TESS space mission has discovered many intriguing transiting planet candidates. These discoveries require ground-based follow-up observations, including high-precision Doppler spectroscopy, to rule out false positive scenarios and measure the mass of the transiting planets. In this study, we present an

Context. Sunspots survive on the solar surface for timescales ranging from days to months. This requires them to be in an equilibrium involving magnetic fields and hydrodynamic forces. Unfortunately, theoretical models of sunspot equilibrium are very simplified as they assume that spots are static and possess a self-similar and axially symmetric

Context. The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph) is a satellite orbiting the Milky Way that has experienced multiple stripping events due to tidal interactions with our Galaxy. Its accretion history has led to a distinct stellar overdensity, which is the remnant of the core of the progenitor. Aims. We present a complete chemical analysis

MAXI J1834–021 is a new X-ray transient discovered in February 2023. We analysed the spectral and timing properties of MAXI J1834–021 using NICER, NuSTAR and Swift data collected between March and October 2023. The light curve showed a main peak followed by a second activity phase. Most of the spectra extracted from individual NICER observations

Fast X-ray transients are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its Wide-field X-ray Telescope has led to a rapid expansionof the sample and allowed the exploration of these transients across the electromagnetic spectrum. EP250108a is a recently detected

To identify long-period variable (LPV) stars in IC 10—the nearest starburst galaxy of the Local Group—we conducted an optical monitoring survey using the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope with the wide-field camera (WFC) in the i band and V band from 2015 to 2017. We created a photometric catalog for 53,579 stars within the area of CCD4 of WFC (∼0.07
