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…
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…
Embedding Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the WST Collaboration
Laurane Fréour, Anna Puglisi, Maria Cristina Fortuna +11
The proposed Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a next-generation telescope facility with a 12-meter primary mirror that may be operational in the 2040s. The project has a…
Toward decision-aware AI for LSST-scale time-domain astronomy
C. R. Bom, A. Mahabal, F. Bianco +27
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will generate approximately (10^7) alerts per night, pushing time-domain astronomy beyond pipelines that trea…
Planet-Host Stars Across the Galaxy in the 2040s
M. Tsantaki, K. Biazzo, F. Zahra Majidi +2
By the 2040s, the exoplanet field will have moved from the discovery of a few thousand planets to hundreds of thousands, thanks to Gaia DR5, TESS, PLATO, Roman, and their successor…
Standard Sirens in 2040s: Probing the Cosmic Expansion History with Gravitational Waves and Spectroscopic Galaxy Surveys
Nicola Borghi, Michele Moresco, Richard I. Anderson +11
Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences have matured into a robust cosmological probe, providing self-calibrated luminosity distance measurements independent of…
Designing the Community Infrastructure for ESO's Next Transformational Facility. Equitable Governance and Sustainable Teams for 2040s Astronomy
Annagrazia Puglisi, Amelia Bayo, Laurane Freour +7
The scientific ambitions of the 2040s will require large, interdisciplinary teams operating across continents, institutions, and increasingly heterogeneous political and funding la…
Spectroscopic Alerts for the Time-Domain Era
Alejandra Melo, Paula Sanchez-Saez, Valentin D. Ivanov +13
Time-domain astronomy is entering an era of unprecedented discovery driven by wide-field, high-cadence surveys such as LSST, Roman, Euclid, SKA, and PLATO. While some of these faci…
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…
A vision for ground-based astronomy beyond the 2030s: How to build ESO's next big telescope sustainably
Laurane Fréour, Mathilde Bouvier, Tony Mroczkowski +8
Astronomy is the study of the Universe and all the objects that it comprises. Our attention is therefore usually focused beyond Earth, home to the only form of life known today. Ho…
The inflated, eccentric warm Jupiter TOI-4914 b orbiting a metal-poor star, and the hot Jupiters TOI-2714 b and TOI-2981 b
G. Mantovan, T. G. Wilson, L. Borsato +32
Recent observations of giant planets have revealed unexpected bulk densities. Hot Jupiters, in particular, appear larger than expected for their masses compared to planetary evolut…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
New members of the Lupus I cloud based on Gaia astrometry Physical and accretion properties from X-Shooter spectra
F. Z. Majidi, J. M. Alcala', A. Frasca +13
We characterize twelve young stellar objects (YSOs) located in the Lupus I region, spatially overlapping with the Upper Centaurus Lupus (UCL) sub-stellar association. The aim of th…
Validation of TESS exoplanet candidates orbiting solar analogues in the all-sky PLATO input catalogue
Giacomo Mantovan, Marco Montalto, Giampaolo Piotto +6
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is focusing on relatively bright stars and has found thousands of planet candidates. However, mainly because of the low spatial res…
