Description
A cyclical approximation of the evolutionary synthesis of stellar populations has been developed into a general solution for the mass and time-dependence of the 'birth function' of stars. The general solution allows introduction of a function, G(t), which is the ratio of gas injected into a defined region to that which form stars in the same time interval, at time t. On the basis of this direct relation of the output of dying stars with the formation of the next generation, analytical approximations can be made to the macroscopic evolution of stellar populations in a well-defined zone of a galaxy. This is presently demonstrated for the cases of four zones of the dwarf elliptical M32.

    Observational evidence of different formation mechanisms of Solar System-type architectures across spectral types

    Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the

    First light and results for atmospheric characterization with The Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS)

    NIRPS is a new fiber-fed high spectral resolution (~80k) spectrograph assisted by adaptive optics installed on the 3.6m telescope of ESO at LaSilla, Chile. Operated simultaneously with HARPS, NIRPS covers the Y, J, and H bands. The commissioning phase demonstrated high stability for time-series observations along precise radial velocities reaching

    3.5 years of observing exoplanet day sides with CHEOPS

    Characterising Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) is the first ESA exoplanet space mission. The satellite carries a 30cm telescope, optimised to deliver exquisite (ppm-level) photometry of bright exoplanetary systems at optical wavelengths. CHEOPS has spent approximately 20% of its observing time during its 3.5-year long nominal mission studying
