Description
The optical warps of NGC 5907 is studied by means of CCD photometry, for the U and I filters, as well as for a narrow band filter centered at H-alpha. The present observations were extended out to about 380 arcsec in the NW side and out to about 348 arcsec in the SE side. The H I warps begin at these galactocentric radii, so that the optical ones are not clearly distinguished. The U warp is larger than the I one in the NW, but this difference is not appreciated in the SE. The disk shows slight corrugations.

    The Gaia-ESO Survey is an European Southern Observatory (ESO) public spectroscopic survey that targeted 10 5 stars in the Milky Way covering the major populations of the disk, bulge and halo. The observations were made using FLAMES on the VLT obtaining both UVES high (R ~ 47 000) and GIRAFFE medium (R ~ 20 000) resolution spectra. The analysis of

    TESS and ESPRESSO discover a super-Earth and a mini-Neptune orbiting the K-dwarf TOI-238*
    The number of super-Earth and mini-Neptune planet discoveries has increased significantly in the last two decades thanks to transit and radial velocity (RV) surveys. When it is possible to apply both techniques, we can characterise the internal composition of exoplanets, which in turn provides unique insights on their architecture, formation and
