Context. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is observing bright known planet-host stars across almost the entire sky. These stars have been subject to extensive ground-based observations, providing a large number of radial velocity measurements. Aims: The objective of this work is to use the new TESS photometric observations to

Aims: To advance our knowledge of star formation, in addition to statistical studies and large surveys of young stellar objects (YSOs), it is important to carry out detailed studies towards particular objects. Given that massive molecular clumps fragment into cores where star formation takes place, these kinds of studies should be done on different

A significant fraction of high redshift star-forming disc galaxies are known to host giant clumps, whose nature and role in galaxy evolution are yet to be understood. In this work, we first present a new method based on neural networks to detect clumps in galaxy images. We use this method to detect clumps in the rest-frame optical and UV images of

Recent numerical simulations (Greenstreet et al. 2012, Granvik et al. 2018) predicted the existence of a population of small bodies that is orbiting entirely inside Venus orbit. They could represent about 0.22 % of the steady-state near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). These asteroids are called Vatiras (by analog with the Atira-class NEAs) or Interior to

A fraction of near-Earth asteroids has the orbital elements similar to those of comets, but a visual aspect as any other point-like source. These are potentially dormant comets nuclei who entered in a period of inactivity. Their study can provide a new understanding of the final state in which volatile-rich objects reside and of the existing

We report the identification of SDSS J121929.45+471522.8 as the third apparently isolated magnetic (B ≃ 18.5 ± 1.0 MG) white dwarf exhibiting Zeeman-split Balmer emission lines. The star shows coherent variability at optical wavelengths with an amplitude of ≃0.03 mag and a period of 15.26 h, which we interpret as the spin period of the white dwarf
