Description
We present observations and analyses of some of the most massive stars in the Milky Way, showing the potential and limits of current model atmospheres, and the consequences for the evolution theory of massive stars. We then show how these techniques can be applied to very bright stars in M31 and M33 to derive radial abundance gradients and get information about chemical galactic evolution.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition

    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
