    The massive white dwarf in the recurrent nova TCrB
    We have obtained I-, J-, H- and K-band light curves of the recurrent nova TCrB. We find that we can fit the J-band light curve only with a Roche lobe filling...

    The maximum stellar mass, star-cluster formation and composite stellar populations
    We demonstrate that the mass of the most massive star in a cluster correlates non-trivially with the cluster mass. A simple algorithm, according to which a...

    The merger history of massive spheroids since z ˜ 1 is size-independent
    Using a compilation of 379 massive (stellar mass M ≳ 1011 M⊙) spheroid-like galaxies from the near-infrared Palomar/DEEP-2 survey, we investigated, up to z ˜ 1...

    The metal-rich halo tail extended in |z|: a characterization with Gaia DR2 and APOGEE
    We report an analysis of the metal-rich tail ([Fe/H] > -0.75) of stars located at distances from the Galactic plane up to |z| ˜ 10 kpc, observed by the Apache...

    The metallicity-period-mass diagram of low-mass exoplanets
    The number of exoplanet detections continues to grow following the development of better instruments and missions. Key steps for the understanding of these...

    The Milky Way bar pattern speed using Hercules and Gaia DR3
    The distribution of moving groups in the solar neighbourhood has been used to constrain dynamical properties of the Milky Way for decades. The kinematic...

    The Milky Way's bulge star formation history as constrained from its bimodal chemical abundance distribution
    We conduct a quantitative analysis of the star formation history (SFH) of the Milky Way's (MW) bulge by exploiting the constraining power of its stellar [Fe/H]...

    The miniJPAS survey quasar selection - I. Mock catalogues for classification
    In this series of papers, we employ several machine learning (ML) methods to classify the point-like sources from the miniJPAS catalogue, and identify quasar...

    The mmax-Mecl relation, the IMF and IGIMF: probabilistically sampled functions
    We introduce a new method to measure the dispersion of mmax values of star clusters and show that the observed sample of mmax is inconsistent with random...
