Context. Planetesimal belts are ubiquitous around nearby stars, and their spatial properties hold crucial information for planetesimal and planet formation models. Aims. We present resolved dust observations of 74 planetary systems as part of the REsolved ALMA and SMA Observations of Nearby Stars (REASONS) survey and archival reanalysis. Methods

The detection of primordial B modes of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) could provide information about the early stages of the Universe's evolution. The faintness of this signal requires exquisite calibration accuracy and control of instrumental systematic effects which otherwise could bias the measurements. In this work, we study the impact

Context. TOI-396 is an F6 V bright naked-eye star (V ≈ 6.4) orbited by three small (R p ≈ 2 R ⊕) transiting planets discovered thanks to space-based photometry from two TESS sectors. The orbital periods of the two innermost planets, namely TOI-396 b and c, are close to the 5:3 commensurability (P b ~ 3.6 d and P c ~ 6.0 d), suggesting that the

A critical requirement of spectroscopic large scale structure analyses is correcting for selection of which galaxies to observe from an isotropic target list. This selection is often limited by the hardware used to perform the survey which will impose angular constraints of simultaneously observable targets, requiring multiple passes to observe all

We present new orbital solutions for 15 binaries, which were astrometrically measured by our team during 2010–2013, using the FastCam 'lucky-imaging' camera installed at the 1.5-m Carlos Sánchez Telescope (CST) at the Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife (Spain). We present first orbital solutions for BU 1292, STF 147, HDS 1898, and STT 325 and revise

Context. In sunspot umbrae, the core of some chromospheric lines exhibits periodic brightness enhancements known as umbral flashes. The consensus is that they are produced by the upward propagation of shock waves. This view has recently been challenged by the detection of downflowing umbral flashes and the confirmation of a resonant cavity above
