    Close Binary Companions to APOGEE DR16 Stars: 20,000 Binary-star Systems Across the Color-Magnitude Diagram
    Many problems in contemporary astrophysics—from understanding the formation of black holes to untangling the chemical evolution of galaxies—rely on knowledge about binary stars. This, in turn, depends on the discovery and characterization of binary companions for large numbers of different kinds of stars in different chemical and dynamical

    Chemical evolution of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies in the self-consistently calculated integrated galactic IMF theory
    The galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function (gwIMF) of a galaxy in dependence on its metallicity and star formation rate can be calculated by the integrated galactic IMF (IGIMF) theory. This theory has been applied in a study of the chemical evolution of the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) satellite galaxies, but failed to reproduce the data. Here, we

    Broad-band spectral energy distribution of the X-ray transient Swift J1745-26 from outburst to quiescence
    Aims: We aim to analyse our study of the X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, using observations obtained from its outburst in September 2012, up to its decay towards quiescence in March 2013. Methods: We obtained optical and infrared observations, through override programme at ESO/VLT with FORS2 and ISAAC instruments, and added archival optical (VLT

    AT 2019abn: multi-wavelength observations over the first 200 days
    Context. AT 2019abn was discovered in the nearby M51 galaxy by the Zwicky Transient Facility at more than two magnitudes and around three weeks prior to its optical peak. Aims: We aim to conduct a detailed photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign for AT 2019abn, with early discovery allowing for significant pre-maximum observations of an

    Astrometric orbits of spectral binary brown dwarfs - I. Massive T dwarf companions to 2M1059-21 and 2M0805+48
    Near-infrared spectroscopic surveys have uncovered a population of short-period, blended-light spectral binaries composed of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. These systems are amenable to orbit determination and individual mass measurements via astrometric monitoring. Here, we present first results of a multiyear campaign to obtain high-precision

    A search for dark matter in Triangulum II with the MAGIC telescopes
    We present the first results from very-high-energy observations of the dwarf spheroidal satellite candidate Triangulum II with the MAGIC telescopes from 62.4 h of good-quality data taken between August 2016 and August 2017. We find no gamma-ray excess in the direction of Triangulum II, and upper limits on both the differential and integral gamma
