Accessible does not mean exploitable: HiPERCAM reveals the ultra-fast rotation of 2022 OB

Miguel R. Alarcon, Javier Licandro, Miquel Serra-Ricart +2

2022 OB is a sub-10-metre Apollo-type near-Earth asteroid whose orbital configuration placed it among the most dynamically accessible small bodies in near-Earth space, motivati…

Assessing interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Two-meter Twin Telescope

R. de la Fuente Marcos, M. R. Alarcon, J. Licandro +8

Context. Theories of the formation and evolution of small bodies in planetary systems predict that they may escape into interstellar space at any time. After having characterized j…

The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample -- IV. GTC/OSIRIS optical spectra of Gaia late-M and L dwarfs

W. J. Cooper, H. R. A. Jones, R. L. Smart +20

As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterisation of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telesco…

Searching for optical companions to four binary millisecond pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias

A. Yu. Kirichenko, A. V. Karpova, D. A. Zyuzin +6

We report on multi-band photometric observations of four binary millisecond pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The observations led to detection of binary companions to PSR…

Stars and brown dwarfs in the sigma Orionis cluster. III. OSIRIS/GTC low-resolution spectroscopy of variable sources

J. A. Caballero, A. Cabrera-Lavers, D. Garcia-Alvarez +1

Context. Although many studies have been performed so far, there are still dozens of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the young sigma Orionis open cluster without detailed spectr…
