  • The Galaxy "Missing Dark Matter" NGC 1052-DF4 is Undergoing Tidal Disruption
    The existence of long-lived galaxies lacking dark matter represents a challenge to our understanding of how galaxies form. Here, we present evidence that explains the lack of dark matter in one such galaxy: NGC 1052-DF4. Deep optical imaging of the system has detected tidal tails in this object caused by its interaction with its neighboring galaxy

  • The EDGE-CALIFA survey: exploring the role of molecular gas on galaxy star formation quenching
    Understanding how galaxies cease to form stars represents an outstanding challenge for galaxy evolution theories. This process of "star formation quenching" has been related to various causes, including active galactic nuclei activity, the influence of large-scale dynamics, and the environment in which galaxies live. In this paper, we present the

  • The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. LP 714-47 b (TOI 442.01): populating the Neptune desert
    We report the discovery of a Neptune-like planet (LP 714-47 b, P = 4.05204 d, m b = 30.8 ± 1.5M ⊕, R b = 4.7 ± 0.3 R ⊕) located in the "hot Neptune desert". Confirmation of the TESS Object of Interest (TOI 442.01) was achieved with radial-velocity follow-up using CARMENES, ESPRESSO, HIRES, iSHELL, and PFS, as well as from photometric data using

  • Sunrise Chromospheric Infrared SpectroPolarimeter (SCIP) for sunrise III: system design and capability
    The Sunrise balloon-borne solar observatory carries a 1 m aperture optical telescope and provides us a unique platform to conduct continuous seeing-free observations at UV-visible-IR wavelengths from an altitude of higher than 35 km. For the next flight planned for 2022, the post-focus instrumentation is upgraded with new spectro- polarimeters for

  • Spin-driven evolution of asteroids' top-shapes at fast and slow spins seen from (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu
    Proximity observations by OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 provided clues on the shape evolution processes of the target asteroids, (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu. Their oblate shapes with equatorial ridges, or the so-called top shapes, may have evolved due to their rotational conditions at present and in the past. Different shape evolution scenarios

  • Spectroscopic classification of a complete sample of astrometrically-selected quasar candidates using Gaia DR2
    Here we explore the efficiency and fidelity of a purely astrometric selection of quasars as point sources with zero proper motions in the Gaia data release 2 (DR2). We have built a complete candidate sample including 104 Gaia-DR2 point sources, which are brighter than 20th magnitude in the Gaia G-band within one degree of the north Galactic pole
