Draco C1 is a known symbiotic binary star system composed of a carbon red giant and a hot, compact companion—likely a white dwarf—belonging to the Draco dwarf...
GIUSEPPE BONO: “High resolution spectroscopy allow us to know the abundance of chemical enrichment of the Milky Way, which are the ingredients of proteins and organic life”
Giuseppe Bono, astrophysicist and associate professor of the Department of Physics at the Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata" (Italy), is a long...
Ground-based Characterization of (98943) Torifune 2001 CC<SUB>21</SUB>, the Target of the Hayabusa2# Space Mission
The near-Earth asteroid (98943) Torifune, previously designated 2001 CC 21, is the flyby target of the Hayabusa2 extended mission, nicknamed Hayabusa2# (Small...
GSC04778-00152 photometry and spectroscopy (Tuvikene+, 2008)
CCD photometry of GSC04778-00152 was carried out on 54 nights during 9 observing runs. In January 2006 the observations were made with the 41-cm Meade telescope...
GTC and OSIRIS: expanding the metallicity horizon of massive stars knowledge
Massive stars are fundamental drivers of the Universe because of their injection of energy, momentum, and nuclear-processed material in every stage of their...
GTC Follow-up Observations of Very Metal-poor Star Candidates from DESI
The observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will significantly increase the numbers of known extremely metal-poor stars by a factor of...
We compared the results from SigSpec and from the iterative-sine-wave fitting, considering an error range of 0.005d-1 in frequency (i.e., a width 3.4 times...
High-resolution observations of bright boulders on asteroid Ryugu: 2. Spectral properties
Many small boulders with reflectance values higher than 1.5 times the average reflectance have been found on the near-Earth asteroid 162,173 Ryugu. Based on...
