Context. TOI-396 is an F6 V bright naked-eye star (V ≈ 6.4) orbited by three small (R p ≈ 2 R ⊕) transiting planets discovered thanks to space-based photometry from two TESS sectors. The orbital periods of the two innermost planets, namely TOI-396 b and c, are close to the 5:3 commensurability (P b ~ 3.6 d and P c ~ 6.0 d), suggesting that the

A critical requirement of spectroscopic large scale structure analyses is correcting for selection of which galaxies to observe from an isotropic target list. This selection is often limited by the hardware used to perform the survey which will impose angular constraints of simultaneously observable targets, requiring multiple passes to observe all

We present new orbital solutions for 15 binaries, which were astrometrically measured by our team during 2010–2013, using the FastCam 'lucky-imaging' camera installed at the 1.5-m Carlos Sánchez Telescope (CST) at the Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife (Spain). We present first orbital solutions for BU 1292, STF 147, HDS 1898, and STT 325 and revise

Context. In sunspot umbrae, the core of some chromospheric lines exhibits periodic brightness enhancements known as umbral flashes. The consensus is that they are produced by the upward propagation of shock waves. This view has recently been challenged by the detection of downflowing umbral flashes and the confirmation of a resonant cavity above

Aims. We performed a combined analysis of stellar kinematics with line-of-sight accelerations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) to probe the mass content of Omega Centauri (ω Cen). Our mass model includes the stellar mass distribution, a more concentrated mass component linked to the observed MSP population, a generic cluster of stellar remnants

Context. Primitive asteroids consisting of mainly phyllosilicates and opaque minerals have great variation at near-ultraviolet (NUV) wavelengths (0.35–0.5 μm). The absorption in NUV could be indicative of phyllosilicates that reflect their formation environments such as the distribution of water, temperature, and pressure. The asteroid collisional
