Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs
Zhewei Chen, Hao Zhu, Jiaojiao Jiang +1
GNN-to-MLP distillation aims to retain the predictive accuracy of a message-passing teacher while deploying a graph-free MLP at inference. Existing methods mainly transfer node-wis…
Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts
A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101
This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…
The small transiting planet population revealed by ESPRESSO with extreme precision radial velocities
M. J. Hobson, B. Lavie, F. Bouchy +35
Small planets are extremely common in the Galaxy, including planets with masses and radii between those of Earth and Neptune. Characterizing these planets' masses requires ultra-pr…
Estimating the completeness of the QUBRICS Survey with 3501 QSO redshifts from Gaia DR3 spectra
Matteo Porru, Stefano Cristiani, Francesco Guarneri +9
QSOs are essential for investigating the structure and evolution of the Universe. Historically, their identification has been concentrated in the northern hemisphere, primarily due…
The ESPRESSO Redshift Drift Experiment III -- The Third Epoch of QSO J052915.80-435152.0
Andrea Trost, Catarina M. J. Marques, S. Cristiani +25
The Sandage-Loeb test probes cosmic expansion directly by measuring the redshift drift in quasar absorption features in a model-independent way. In this series of papers, we have l…
One H2 molecule per ten million H-atoms reveals sub-pc scale cold overdensities at z~4
P. Noterdaeme, S. Balashev, T. Berg +11
We present the detection and analysis of H2 absorption at z = 4.24 towards the bright quasar J0007-5705, observed with the Very Large Telescope as part of the ESPRESSO QUasar Absor…
E-XQR-30: Evidence for an Increase in the Ionization State of Metal Absorbers from z~6 to z~2
Stephanie Rowlands, R. L. Davies, E. Ryan-Weber +15
We investigate the evolution of the ionization state of metal-enriched gas in and around galaxies near the epoch of reionization using a sample of 488 metal absorption systems at 4…
Unveiling the nature of HE 0107-5240
E. Caffau, M. Steffen, P. Molaro +27
The vast majority of the most iron-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit a strong carbon enhancement, with C/H ratios only about two orders of magnitude below solar. This unusual chemic…
TOI-2322: two transiting rocky planets close to the stellar rotation period and its first harmonic
M. J. Hobson, A. Suárez Mascareño, C. Lovis +42
Context. Active regions on the stellar surface can induce quasi-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations that can mimic planets and mask true planetary signals. These spurious sign…
TOI-512: Super-Earth transiting a K-type star discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO
J. Rodrigues, S. C. Barros, N. C. Santos +38
One of the goals of the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the ESO 8.2m telescope is to follow up on candidate planets from transit surveys such as the TESS mission. H…
Revisiting the multi-planetary system of the nearby star HD 20794: Confirmation of a low-mass planet in the habitable zone of a nearby G-dwarf
N. Nari, X. Dumusque, N. C. Hara +44
Close-by Earth analogs and super-Earths are of primary importance because they will be preferential targets for the next generation of direct imaging instruments. Bright and close-…
Exploring quasar evolution with proximate molecular absorbers: Insights from the kinematics of highly ionized nitrogen
R. Cuellar, P. Noterdaeme, S. Balashev +3
We investigate the presence and kinematics of NV absorption proximate to high redshift quasars selected upon the presence of strong and HI absorption at the quasar redshift…
HYPERION: broad-band X-ray-to-near-infrared emission of Quasars in the first billion years of the Universe
I. Saccheo, A. Bongiorno, E. Piconcelli +41
We aim at characterizing the X-ray-to-optical/near-infrared broad-band emission of luminous QSOs in the first Gyr of cosmic evolution to understand whether they exhibit differences…
HYPERION. Shedding light on the first luminous quasars: A correlation between UV disc winds and X-ray continuum
A. Tortosa, L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli +41
One of the main open questions in the field of luminous () quasars (QSOs) at is the rapid formation (Gyr) of their superm…
A sub-Earth-mass planet orbiting Barnard's star
J. I. Gonzalez Hernandez, A. Suarez Mascareno, A. M. Silva +37
Barnard's star is a primary target within the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTO) as it is the second closest neighbour to our Sun after the Centauri stellar system. We…
Three super-Earths and a possible water world from TESS and ESPRESSO
M. J. Hobson, F. Bouchy, B. Lavie +51
Since 2018, the ESPRESSO spectrograph at the VLT has been hunting for planets in the Southern skies via the RV method. One of its goals is to follow up candidate planets from trans…
