The ΛCDM model predicts that mergers are expected to dominate the early evolution of galaxies. However, the high fraction of massive galaxies that are pure discs or that host very small bulges, including systems like the Milky Way (MW), challenges this paradigm. The BEARD (Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs) project is an international

The young TOI-451 planetary system, aged 125 Myr, provides a unique opportunity to test theories of planetary internal structures and atmospheric mass-loss through examination of its three transiting planets. We present an exhaustive photometric and spectroscopic follow-up to determine the orbital and physical properties of the system. We perform

Context. Despite the importance of magnetic fields in massive stars, their origin is widely debated and still not well understood. Aims. With the mounting evidence for the importance of studying magnetic fields in interacting massive binary and multiple systems, it appears necessary to investigate the presence of magnetic fields in semi-detached

Context. This paper presents new results from the ESO Large Programme Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS). The LEWIS sample consists of low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBs) and ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) located inside 0.4R vir of the Hydra I cluster. Integral-field spectroscopy is acquired for 24 galaxies with the MUSE spectrograph

The linear structure reported by P. van Dokkum et al. has been proposed as either a massive stellar wake produced by a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. New JWST/NIRSpec IFU observations by P. van Dokkum et al. target the tip of the structure, where a SMBH would produce a bow shock, whereas a normal galaxy would

The Javalambre VARiability Survey (J-VAR) is a photometric survey that is being carried out with the 0.8m Javalambre Auxiliary Survey Telescope, located at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (Teruel, Spain), using a subset of seven filters from J-PLUS, covering the wavelength range 0.39─0.88 $\mu$m. The scientific objectives of J-VAR are
