The "Neptunian ridge" is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and 6 days. These planets may have formed similarly to their larger, hot Jupiter counterparts in the "3 day pileup," through a dynamically excited migration pathway. The

We investigated the origin and formation mechanisms of the intracluster light (ICL) in THE THREE HUNDRED simulations, a set of 324 hydrodynamically resimulated massive galaxy clusters. The ICL, a diffuse component comprised of stars not bound to any individual galaxy, serves as a critical tracer of cluster formation and evolution. Using two

Context. O-type stars are key drivers of galactic evolution. For the first time, modern spectroscopic surveys combined with Gaia distances are enabling reliable estimates of the fundamental parameters of several hundred Galactic O-type stars, spanning the full range of spectral types and luminosity classes. Aims. We aim to provide updated

Context. Cosmic voids are underdense regions within the large-scale structure of the Universe, spanning a wide range of physical scales ─ from a few megaparsecs to the largest observable structures. Their distinctive properties make them valuable cosmological probes and unique laboratories for galaxy formation studies. A key aspect to investigate

Cross-correlations techniques offer an alternative method to search for molecular species in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of exoplanet atmospheres. In a previous article, we applied cross-correlation functions for the first time to JWST NIRSpec/G395H observations of exoplanet atmospheres, resulting in a detection of CO in the

Asteroseismology, the study of stellar oscillations, and stellar modeling both offer profound insights into the fundamental properties and evolution of stars. With pySYD, a new open-source Python package, we were able to constrain the asteroseismic global parameters, ν max and Δν, for 82 solar-like oscillating subgiant and lower red giant stars
