This contribution gives an overview of the ground-based observing efforts organized to collect the auxiliary data mandatory for the calibrations and tests of...
Ground-based observations of (65803) Didymos 2.5 years after the DART impact: searching for ongoing evolution
On 2022 September 26, NASA's DART mission intentionally impacted Dimorphos, the moon of near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos, changing the binary system's...
Ground-based observations are a strong tool for asteroseismic studies and even in the era of asteroseismic space missions they continue to play an important...
Ground-based observations of the beta Cephei CoRoT main target HD 180642
We present the preliminary results of a detailed study of ground-based photometric and spectroscopic observations dedicated to the β Cephei CoRoT main target HD...
Ground-based proper motions of nearby local group galaxies: A progress report for Fornax
Determining the kinematics of the dwarf Spheroidal galaxies (dSph) satellites of the Milky Way (MW) is crucial to estimate the mass of our galaxy, to understand...
Growth in size of the massive ellipticals galaxies by dry mergers
Massive galaxies have grown a factor of 4 in size since z=2 to the present. The reasons of this growth remain unclear. Within the possible mechanisms that have...
Growth of Massive Bulges by Mergers of Dense Satellites
We present merger models suggesting that bulge growth via accretion of dense satellites generates two of the observed trends of galaxies along the Hubble...
