CARMENES finds a nearby Neptune in the temperate zone of an early-M dwarf
We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around...
CARMENES project boosts the number of known planets in the solar neighbourhood
20,000 observations from the Calar Alto telescope in Spain are made public, and have led to the discovery of 59 planets, some of them potentially habitable. The...
Caught in the act: the winds driven by supermassive black holes directly impact star formation
Patricia Bessiere, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has led research which has used data from the KECK telescope in Hawaii to...
Challenging the theoretically predicted mass-loss rate increase of blue supergiants in the bi-stability region of the stellar winds
The properties of blue supergiants are key for constraining the end of the main sequence phase, a phase during which massive stars spend most of their lifetimes...
