Many detected planets experience hydrodynamic atmospheric escape during some stage of their life. Most of those exoplanets are hot Jupiters and sub-Neptunes orbiting close to their stars. Traditionally, the escape in these evaporating planets has been studied by Lyman-α line absorption measurements taken by instruments from space. Very recently, a

The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimetre Telescope (AtLAST) is a mature concept for the next generation 50-meter class single-dish astronomical observatory operating at submillimetre wavelengths, powered by renewable energy and run as a facility telescope by an international partnership. AtLAST will open a new discovery space in numerous fields of

Data and considerations are presented about the sustainability of astronomical observatories in the Spanish territory. While still not comparable to other science institutions, the energy consumption of large telescopic installations is high. To partially compensate it, effort has been put into producing in situ green energy, taking advantage of

We report on the detection of optical/near-infrared (O-IR) quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from the black hole (BH) X-ray transient Swift J1727.8–1613. We obtained three X-ray and O-IR high-time-resolution observations of the source during its intermediate state (2023 September 9, 15, and 17) using NICER, HAWK-I@VLT, HIPERCAM@GTC, and ULTRACAM

The most probable outcome of planetary formation is a sub-Neptune, a body with a radius between 2.0 and 3.5 Earth radii. This type of exoplanet has no counterpart in the Solar System, but they are very common elsewhere, and many of them have been observed to potentially host habitable surface conditions. Population studies have revealed a scarcity

Galaxies in voids have been found to be of a later type, bluer, less massive, and to have a slower evolution than galaxies in denser environments (filaments and walls). However, the effect of the void environment on their stellar population properties is still unclear. We aim to address this question using 118 optical integral field unit datacubes
