We present infrared observations of the counterparts to the X- ray transients SLX 1746-331 and XTE J1810-189 obtained with the 6.5m Magellan Baade telescope at...

With the goal of confirming the metallicity ``excess'' observed in stars with planetary mass companions, we have conducted a high-precision spectroscopic study...

We have confirmed the detection of a surprising, and so far unique, absorption feature on a main-belt asteroid, 24 Themis. Our 2 to 4 micron reflectance spectra...

We present a study of the properties of radial conformal Killing fields (RCKF) in conformally flat space-times, pointing out its interest in kinematical...

Dwarf irregular galaxies, due to their lower masses, relative isolation, and high-quality data availability, are ideal laboratories to test various models of...

We investigate the star formation activity in galaxy pairs in chemical hydrodynamical simulations consistent with a Lambda-CDM scenario. A statistical analysis...

A new empirical model that accurately describes the inner and outer light-profiles of early-type galaxies is presented. This model effectively unites the Sérsic...

In this new era of extensive variability surveys, classical pulsators such as RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) and Classical Cepheids play a crucial role. We focus our...

Tightly connect tubes used for the circulation of cryogenic fluids is a task that requires some thought and technical experience. ESO is intensively using...
