    The Pristine survey - VII. A cleaner view of the Galactic outer halo using blue horizontal branch stars
    We use the Pristine survey CaHK narrow-band photometry, combined with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)ugr photometry, to provide a cleaner sample of blue horizontal branch stars in the Galactic halo out to large distances. We demonstrate a completeness of 91 per cent and a purity of 93 per cent with respect to available spectroscopic

    The Pristine survey - VI. The first three years of medium-resolution follow-up spectroscopy of Pristine EMP star candidates
    We present the results of a 3-yr long, medium-resolution spectroscopic campaign aimed at identifying very metal-poor stars from candidates selected with the CaHK, metallicity-sensitive Pristine survey. The catalogue consists of a total of 1007 stars, and includes 146 rediscoveries of metal-poor stars already presented in previous surveys, 707 new

    The missing mass conundrum of post-common-envelope planetary nebulae
    Most planetary nebulae (PNe) show beautiful, axisymmetric morphologies despite their progenitor stars being essentially spherical. Angular momentum provided by a close binary companion is widely invoked as the main agent that would help eject an axisymmetric nebula, after a brief phase of engulfment of the secondary within the envelope of the

    The MASTER Global Robotic Telescope Network: Observations of Asteroid NEA 2015 TB145
    The results of white-light photometry for a uniquely long series of data (13.5 hours of observations, 1124 measurements) for the Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2015 TB145 are presented. These data were obtained with the MASTER-Amur and MASTER-Tavrida wide-field robotic telescopes of the Mobile Astronomical System of Telescope-Robots (MASTER) global

    The MASCOT landing area on asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Stereo-photogrammetric analysis using images of the ONC onboard the Hayabusa2 spacecraft
    A high-resolution 3D surface model, map-projected to a digital terrain model (DTM), and precisely ortho-rectified context images (orthoimages) of MASCOT landing site area are important data sets for the scientific analysis of relevant data that have been acquired with MASCOT's image camera system MASCam and other instruments (e.g., the radiometer

    The K2 Galactic Caps Project - going beyond the Kepler field and ageing the Galactic disc
    Analyses of data from spectroscopic and astrometric surveys have led to conflicting results concerning the vertical characteristics of the Milky Way. Ages are often used to provide clarity, but typical uncertainties of >40 per cent from photometry restrict the validity of the inferences made. Using the Kepler APOKASC sample for context, we explore
