The composition of comets hold clues about the early stages of the formation and evolution of the Solar System. Being the brightest comet observed in the northern hemisphere since the passage of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) in 1997, comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) represents an interesting target for studying its coma composition and the chemical

We analyse the molecular and atomic emission lines of 71 bright Herschel-selected galaxies between redshifts 1.4 and 4.6 detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. These lines include a total of 156 CO, [C I], and H 2O emission lines. For 46 galaxies, we detect two transitions of CO lines, and for these galaxies we find gas

In a recent Antiquity article, Darvill (2022) proposed that the mid third-millennium BC Stage 2 sarsen settings of Stonehenge (comprising the Trilithon Horseshoe, Sarsen Circle and the Station Stone Rectangle) were conceived in order to represent a calendar year of 365.25 days—that is, a calendar identical in duration to the Julian calendar. In the

The study of planetary nebulae provides important constraints for many aspects of stellar and Galactic evolution. Hen 2-108 is a poorly known planetary nebula with a slight elliptical morphology and a peculiar central star (CS), which has defied classification. In this work, we present the first detailed integral field spectroscopic study of the

Transiting exoplanets orbiting young nearby stars are ideal laboratories for testing theories of planet formation and evolution. However, to date only a handful of stars with age <1 Gyr have been found to host transiting exoplanets. Here we present the discovery and validation of a sub-Neptune around HD 18599 , a young (300 Myr), nearby (d = 40 pc)

How do galaxies shape their morphology through time? How many details of galaxies at cosmic noon are we going to unveil? This contribution aims at presenting the expected performance of JWST imaging observations in constraining the evolution of galaxies and the origin of the Hubble sequence. In particular, I describe NIRCam mock observations of
