We present Herschel-PACS spectroscopy of four main-sequence star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1.5. We detect [OI]63-=μm line emission in BzK-21000 at z = 1.5213, and measure a line luminosity, $L_{\rm [O\, {\small I}]63\, \mu m} = (3.9\pm 0.7)\times 10^9$ -=L ☉. Our PDR modelling of the interstellar medium in BzK-21000 suggests a UV radiation field

I present RoadRunner, a fast exoplanet transit model that can use any radially symmetric function to model stellar limb darkening (LD) while still being faster to evaluate than the analytical transit model for quadratic LD by Mandel & Agol. CPU and GPU implementations of the model are available in the PYTRANSIT transit modelling package, and come

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) was an ESO Large Programme that has provided a rich, legacy dataset for studies of both resolved and integrated populations of massive stars. Initiated in 2008 (ESO Period 82), we used the Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) to observe more than 800 massive stars in the dramatic 30 Doradus

Context. The relevance of M dwarfs in the search for potentially habitable Earth-sized planets has grown significantly in the last years. Aims: In our on-going effort to comprehensively and accurately characterise confirmed and potential planet-hosting M dwarfs, in particular for the CARMENES survey, we have carried out a comprehensive multi-band

We revisit the diagonal ridge feature (diagonal distributions in the R, v φ plane) found in Gaia and present a timing analysis for it between Galactocentric distances of R = 7.5 and 12 kpc, using main-sequence turnoff and OB stars selected from the LAMOST Galactic spectroscopic surveys. We recover the ridge pattern in the R-v φ plane color coded by

Context. Recent statistical deconvolution methods have produced extended kinematical maps in a range of heliocentric distances that are a factor of two to three larger than those analysed in Gaia Collaboration (2018, A&A, 616, A11) based on the same data. Aims: In this paper, we use such maps to derive the rotation curve both in the Galactic plane
