Stars in the Earth transit zone
Transit observations have found the majority of exoplanets to date. Also spectroscopic observations of transits and eclipses are the most commonly used tool to characterize... -
Ultracool dwarfs in wide binaries
We present the discovery of 255 binary and 6 multiple system candidates with wide (>5arcsec) separation composed by ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) companions to stars, plus nine... -
Metallicity and rotation in the Kepler field
A curious rotation period distribution in the colour-magnitude-period diagram (CMPD) of the Kepler field was recently revealed, thanks to data from Gaia and Kepler spacecraft.... -
Extended Breakthrough Listen sample
We extend the source sample recently observed by the Breakthrough Listen Initiative by including additional stars (with parallaxes measured by Gaia) that also reside within the... -
Algol eclipsing binaries in the Catalina Survey
The discovery and characterization of Algol eclipsing binaries (EAs) provide an opportunity to contribute for a better picture of the structure and evolution of low-mass stars.... -
Galactic disc Pristine low-metallicity stars
The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity... -
Abundances in cool metal-polluted white dwarfs
The accretion of rocky material is responsible for the presence of heavy elements in the atmospheres of a large fraction of white dwarf stars. Those objects represent a unique... -
N-rich stars orbital classification
We have used the galaxy modelling algorithm GRAVPOT16, to explore the most probable orbital elements of a sample of 64 selected N-rich stars across the Milky Way. We use the... -
Mode identification in 3 pulsating hot subdwarfs
We report on the detection of pulsations of three pulsating subdwarf B stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) satellite and our results of mode... -
Luminosities of 34 slowly pulsating B stars
We provide three statistical model prescriptions for the bolometric corrections appropriate for B-type stars as a function of (i) T_eff_, (ii) T_eff_ and logg, and (iii) T_eff_,... -
Planet-hosting stars and debris disc
We investigate whether the tentative correlation between planets and debris discs which has been previously identified can be confirmed at high significance. We compile a sample... -
Superflares in solar-type stars with TESS
Superflares on solar-type stars have been a rapidly developing field ever since the launch of Kepler. Over the years, there have been several studies investigating the... -
Multiwavelength view of the open cluster NGC 2527
Star clusters are ideal platforms for categorizing X-ray emitting stars and to study X-ray emission as a function of stellar age and activity. We present a comprehensive study... -
TICs 167692429 and 220397947 triple stars
We report the discovery and complex analyses of the first two compact hierarchical triple star systems discovered with TESS in or near its southern continuous viewing zone... -
The Pristine survey XI: the FORS2 sample
Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are old objects that mostly formed very early after the big bang. They are rare and, to select them, we have to rely on low-resolution... -
Coronal mass ejections on solar-like stars
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) may have major importance for planetary and stellar evolution. Stellar CME parameters, such as mass and velocity, have yet not been determined... -
Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars with Gaia DR2 I
We obtain distances to 383 Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars from Gaia DR2 parallaxes and Bayesian methods, with a prior based on HII regions and dust extinction. Distances agree... -
Discovery and timing of 40 pulsars
We present the results of processing an additional 44 per cent of the High Time Resolution Universe South Low Latitude (HTRU-S LowLat) pulsar survey, the most sensitive blind... -
Disentangling cataclysmic variables in Gaia DR2
Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) are interacting binaries consisting of at least three components that control their colour and magnitude. Using Gaia we here investigate the... -
TOI-222: a 34-d eclipsing binary
We report the period, eccentricity, and mass determination for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) single-transit event candidate TOI-222, which displayed a single...
