Present models of the zodiacal light (scattered sunlight from interplanetary dust in the visible) and zodiacal emission (thermal emission in the mid-infrared) are primarily constrained by surface-brightness measurements obtained at relatively large solar elongations (ϵ ≳ 60°). As a result, their predictive accuracy at smaller elongations remains

The orbital histories of the dwarf satellites of the Milky Way (MW) are key to understanding their evolution and placing their present-day properties in a dynamical context. We present the results of the orbit integration of 72 dwarfs in the vicinity of the MW, based on accurate 6D phase-space coordinates from the literature and a suite of six

Understanding how galaxy evolution is affected in forming high-z overdensities is a major open question in modern astrophysics. Here, we present the average properties of the quiescent galaxy population recently identified in the core of the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.16. By stacking observations from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST; F160W

Protoplanetary nebulae are considered to be the evolutionary link between asymptotic giant branch stars and planetary nebulae. They possess many of the physical characteristics expected of such a link and provide valuable information about the evolutionary process in these objects. One important characteristic of protoplanetary nebulae is the

Context. Solar analogs are stars whose fundamental properties closely match those of the Sun and, as such, they serve as useful laboratories for tests of stellar structure and evolution, particularly in the context of the upcoming PLATO mission. Aims. Our study is focussed on six seismic solar analogs observed by Kepler and K2, which have been

Context. Ground-based spectrographs operating in the near-infrared (NIR) regime are hampered by various absorption and emission features of Earth's atmosphere. While considerable attention has been paid to mitigating telluric absorption, correcting telluric emission features remains non-trivial and can significantly affect the observation of faint
