    Exoplanets around Low-mass Stars Unveiled by K2
    We present the detection and follow-up observations of planetary candidates around low-mass stars observed by the K2 mission. Based on light-curve analysis...
  • Publication
    Exploring the contamination of the DES-Y1 cluster sample with SPT-SZ selected clusters
    We perform a cross validation of the cluster catalogue selected by the red-sequence Matched-filter Probabilistic Percolation algorithm (redMaPPer) in Dark...
  • Publication
    Exploring the diversity and similarity of radially anisotropic Milky Way-like stellar haloes: implications for disrupted dwarf galaxy searches
    We investigate the properties of mergers comparable to the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies...

    Exploring the nature of new main-belt comets with the 10.4 m GTC telescope: (300163) 2006 VW139
    Aims: We aim to study the dust ejected by main-belt comet (MBC) (300163) 2006 VW139 to obtain information on the ejection mechanism and the spectral properties...
  • Publication
    Exploring the stellar surface phenomena of WASP-52 and HAT-P-30 with ESPRESSO
    We analyse spectroscopic and photometric transits of the hot Jupiters WASP-52 b and HAT-P30 b obtained with ESPRESSO, Eulercam and NGTS for both targets, and...

    Exploring the Sun's upper atmosphere with neural networks: Reversed patterns and the hot wall effect
    We have developed an inversion procedure designed for high-resolution solar spectro-polarimeters, such as those of Hinode and the DKIST. The procedure is based...
  • Publication
    Extreme value theory and the solar cycle
    Aims:We investigate the statistical properties of the extreme events of the solar cycle as measured by the sunspot number. Methods: The recent advances in the...
  • Publication
    Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) observables of simulated plasmoid-mediated reconnection in the solar corona
    Context. Understanding the role of magnetic reconnection in the heating and dynamics of the solar atmosphere requires detailed observational data of any...
  • Publication
    Far- and mid-infrared spectroscopy of complex organic matter of astrochemical interest: coal, heavy petroleum fractions and asphaltenes
    The coexistence of a large variety of molecular species (i.e. aromatic, cycloaliphatic and aliphatic) in several astrophysical environments suggests that...
