Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary population synthesis models with different input physics are used for this purpose. Moreover, the contribution from the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stellar phase, which peaks

We study the bulge-disc components and stellar mass distribution in the fast-rotating, highly massive spiral galaxy 2MASX J23453268-0449256, which is distinguished by extraordinary radio jets extending to Mpc scales. Using high-resolution multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations and multiparameter panchromatic spectral energy

We report the discovery of a transiting brown dwarf orbiting a low-mass star, TOI-6508 b. Today, only ∼50 transiting brown dwarfs have been discovered. TOI-6508 b was first detected with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in Sectors 10, 37 and 63. Ground-based follow-up photometric data were collected with the SPECULOOS

We investigated by means of Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer/Very Large Telescope (MUSE/VLT) observations the true size of the coronal line region (CLR) in a local sample of nine active galactic nuclei (AGNs) known for displaying prominent coronal emission. Our analysis show that the CLR is extended from several hundred parsecs to a few

Using a sample of 2800 galaxy clusters identified in the Dark Energy Survey across the redshift range $0.20 \lt z \lt 0.60$, we characterize the hierarchical assembly of bright central galaxies (BCGs) and the surrounding intracluster light (ICL). To quantify hierarchical formation we use the stellar mass-halo mass (SMHM) relation, comparing the

Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. Rapid progress is now being made thanks to timely discoveries and localizations with the Einstein Probe mission. Early results indicate that FXTs may frequently, but not always, be associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)
