Isotopic abundance of carbon in the DLA towards QSO B1331+170

Dinko Milaković, John K. Webb, Paolo Molaro +19

Chemical evolution models predict a gradual build-up of C in the universe, based on empirical nuclear reaction rates and assumptions on the properties of stellar populations…

The CUBES Instrument Model and Simulation Tools. Their role in the project Phase A study

Matteo Genoni, Marco Landoni, Guido Cupani +8

We present the simulation tools developed to aid the design phase of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), exploring aspects of t…

A sub-Neptune and a non-transiting Neptune-mass companion unveiled by ESPRESSO around the bright late-F dwarf HD 5278 (TOI-130)

A. Sozzetti, M. Damasso, A. S. Bonomo +45

[Abridged] We exploit the extreme radial velocity (RV) precision of the ultra-stable echelle spectrograph ESPRESSO on the VLT to unveil the physical properties of the transiting su…
