  • A planetary system with two transiting mini-Neptunes near the radius valley transition around the bright M dwarf TOI-776
    We report the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets around the bright M1 V star LP 961-53 (TOI-776, J = 8.5 mag, M = 0.54 ± 0.03 M ☉) detected during Sector 10 observations of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Combining the TESS photometry with HARPS radial velocities, as well as ground-based follow-up transit

  • 2D kinematics of massive stars near the Galactic Centre
    The presence of massive stars (MSs) in the region close to the Galactic Centre (GC) poses several questions about their origin. The harsh environment of the GC favours specific formation scenarios, each of which should imprint characteristic kinematic features on the MSs. We present a 2D kinematic analysis of MSs in a GC region surrounding Sgr A*

  • What Equinox?
    Equinox, what a controversial concept! Since the dawn of archaeoastronomy this has arguably been the most problematic concept—perhaps together with the lunar standstills or lunistices (González García and Belmonte, Journal of Skyscape Archaeology, 5(2):178-190, 2019)—to be taken into account since it was first used in `megalithic' astronomy to

  • Thermally altered subsurface material of asteroid (162173) Ryugu
    Analyses of meteorites and theoretical models indicate that some carbonaceous near-Earth asteroids may have been thermally altered due to radiative heating during close approaches to the Sun 1-3. However, the lack of direct measurements on the subsurface doesn't allow us to distinguish thermal alteration due to radiative heating from parent-body

  • The GTC gains high spectral resolution
    HORuS, a new high-resolution spectrograph for the Gran Telescopio Canarias, will facilitate an expanded range of optical and near-infrared studies, explains Instrument Scientist Carlos Allende Prieto.
