We consider stochastically quantized self-interacting scalar fields as suitable models to generate dark energy in the Universe. Second quantization effects lead...
Characterisation at Cryogenic Temperatures of an Attenuator for an Application of Astrophysical Instrumentation with MKIDs
The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries...
Characterisation of extrasolar planetary transit candidates. II. The companions to late M-type stars
We present a second paper of a complete characterization of stars whose low-depth transits were discovered by the OGLE-III campaign to select the most promising...
Characterisation of local halo building blocks: Thamnos and Sequoia
Context. A crucial aspect of galaxy evolution is the pace at which galaxies build up their mass. We can investigate this hierarchical assembly by uncovering and...
Characterisation of the new target of the NASA Lucy mission: Asteroid 152830 Dinkinesh (1999 VD57)
Context. The NASA Lucy mission is designed to collect data that will be used to study the very interesting population of Jupiter Trojans, which are considered...
Characterisation of the TOI-421 planetary system using CHEOPS, TESS, and archival radial velocity data
Context. The TOI-421 planetary system contains two sub-Neptune-type planets (P b ~ 5.2 days, T eq, b ~ 900 K, and P c ~ 16.1 days, T eq,c ~ 650 K) and is a...
Characterisation of the upper atmospheres of HAT-P-32 b, WASP-69 b, GJ 1214 b, and WASP-76 b through their He I triplet absorption
Characterisation of atmospheres undergoing photo-evaporation is key to understanding the formation, evolution, and diversity of planets. However, only a few...
Characterisation of the warm-Jupiter TOI-1130 system with CHEOPS and a photo-dynamical approach
Context. Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as 'lonely' and only...
Characterisation of TOI-406 as a showcase of the THIRSTEE program: A two-planet system straddling the M-dwarf density gap
Context. The exoplanet sub-Neptune population currently poses a conundrum, as to whether small-size planets are volatile-rich cores without an atmosphere, or...
