HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
The Dynamics of the Milky Way: Unveiling the 6D Skeleton of Star Formation in the 2040s
Loredana Prisinzano, Germano G. Sacco, Francesco Damiani +5
The Milky Way (MW) is our unique laboratory to test star formation theories at the level of individual stars, serving as the Rosetta Stone to interpret extragalactic observations.…
Transients as Determinants of Habitability
Fatemeh Zahra Majidi, Katia Biazzo, Maria Tsantaki +7
Stellar magnetic activity, manifested through spots (faculae and flares), fundamentally shapes the exoplanets' environments. For low-mass stars in particular, where most habitable-…
Toward the time-domain spectroscopic study of the dynamic life of stars: from accretion to magnetic activity
Fatemeh Zahra Majidi, Amelia Bayo, Marc Audard +11
Stars and planets can be seen as the second fundamental building blocks of baryons in the universe (only second to the dust and gas in molecular clouds). Their formation involves d…
