Dusty post-red giant branch (post-RGB) stars are low- and intermediate-mass stars where the RGB evolution was prematurely terminated by a poorly understood binary interaction. These binary stars are considered to be low-luminosity analogues of post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binary stars. In this study, we investigated the chemical

Planets with orbital periods shorter than 1 day are rare and have formation histories that are not completely understood. Small (R p < 2 R ⊕) ultra-short-period (USP) planets are highly irradiated, probably have rocky compositions with high bulk densities, and are often found in multi-planet systems. Additionally, USP planets found around small

Context. In recent years, a number of Lyman continuum (LyC) leaker candidates have been found at intermediate redshifts, providing insight into how the Universe was reionised at early cosmic times. There are now around 100 known LyC leakers at all redshifts, which enables us to analyse their properties statistically. Aims: Here, we identify new LyC
