Mass and radius determination of young planets and the implications for their gas envelope evolution
Despite thousands of extrasolar planets discovered to date, the dominant mechanisms forming planets and the timescales of planetary migration and atmospheric...
Mass determination of K2-19b and K2-19c from radial velocities and transit timing variations
We present FIES@NOT and HARPS-N@TNG radial velocity follow-up observations of K2-19, a compact planetary system hosting three planets, of which the two larger...
We present results on luminous and dark matter mass distributions in disk galaxies from the DiskMass Survey. As expected for normal disk galaxies, stars...
Mass function of IC4665 from UKIDSS-GCS (Lodieu+, 2011)
Knowledge of the mass function in open clusters constitutes one way to constrain the formation of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs along with the knowledge of...
Observations of H2O isotopologues of the extreme OH/IR star OH 26.5+0.6 show that the star has an initial mass consistent with it being an intermediate-mass...
Mass Loss in Galactic Globulars: Red Giant Stragglers and Helium White Dwarfs
The evolution of Population II Red Giants has been studied by adopting Reimers' formalism for the efficiency of mass loss. Evolutionary computations for models...
We present evidence that recently identified massive rubidium-rich AGB stars also played an important role as sources of certain long-lived and short-lived...
