    ATREIDES: I. Embarking on a trek across the exo-Neptunian landscape with the TOI-421 system
    The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by a complex interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Desert, Ridge, and Savanna...

    Automated analysis of stellar spectra
    Classical model-atmosphere analyses of stellar spectra usually begin by measuring equivalent widths, and then proceed into a loop in which 1) model spectra are...
  • Publication
    Automatic model-based telluric correction for the ESPRESSO data reduction software. Model description and application to radial velocity computation
    Context. Ground-based high-resolution spectrographs are key instruments for several astrophysical domains, such as exoplanet studies. Unfortunately, the...

    Balloon-Borne Submillimeter Polarimetry of the Vela C Molecular Cloud: Systematic Dependence of Polarization Fraction on Column Density and Local Polarization-Angle Dispersion
    We present results for Vela C obtained during the 2012 flight of the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry. We mapped polarized...

    Bar properties as a function of wavelength: a local baseline with S<SUP>4</SUP>G for high-redshift studies
    The redshift evolution of bars is an important signpost of the dynamic maturity of disc galaxies. To characterize the intrinsic evolution safe from band...

    BAYES-LOSVD: A Bayesian framework for non-parametric extraction of the line-of-sight velocity distribution of galaxies
    We introduce BAYES-LOSVD, a novel implementation of the non-parametric extraction of line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) in galaxies. We employed...
  • Publication
    Bayesian bulge-disc decomposition of galaxy images
    We introduce PHI, a fully Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm designed for the structural decomposition of galaxy images. PHI uses a triple layer...
