The analysis of high spectral resolution spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric observations constitutes a very powerful way of inferring the dynamical...
Silicon in the dayside atmospheres of two ultra-hot Jupiters
Atmospheres of highly irradiated gas giant planets host a large variety of atomic and ionic species. Here we observe the thermal emission spectra of the two...
Simultaneous multicolour transit photometry of hot Jupiters HAT-P-19b, HAT-P-51b, HAT-P-55b, and HAT-P-65b
Accurate physical parameters of exoplanet systems are essential for further exploration of planetary internal structure, atmospheres, and formation history. We...
Simultaneous polarization monitoring of supernovae SN 2008D/XT 080109 and SN 2007uy: isolating geometry from dust
Context. The possible existence of a continuum encompassing the diversity of explosive stellar deaths, ranging from ordinary supernovae (SNe; lacking any sign...
Single stellar populations in the near-infrared. I. Preparation of the IRTF spectral stellar library
We present a detailed study of the stars of the NASA InfraRed Telescope Facility (IRTF) spectral library to understand its full extent and reliability for use...
Six transiting planets and a chain of Laplace resonances in TOI-178
Determining the architecture of multi-planetary systems is one of the cornerstones of understanding planet formation and evolution. Resonant systems are...
Small-scale flux emergence events observed by Sunrise/IMaX
Thanks to the unprecedented combination of high spatial resolution (0''.2) and high temporal cadence (33 s) spectropolarimetric measurements, the IMaX...
Small-scale magnetic flux emergence in a sunspot light bridge
Context. Light bridges are convective intrusions in sunspots that often show enhanced chromospheric activity. Aims: We seek to determine the nature of flux...
SMARTY: The MILES moderate resolution near-infrared stellar library
Most of the observed galaxies cannot be resolved into individual stars and are studied through their integrated spectrum using simple stellar populations (SSPs)...
