LBT-MODS spectroscopy of young stellar objects in the distant metal-poor star forming region Sh2-284: Stellar and accretion properties
Katia Biazzo, Juan Manuel Alcalá, Felice Cusano +9
We present a spectroscopic survey of young stellar objects (YSOs) in Sh2-284, a distant (~4.5 kpc), low-metallicity (Z~1/3 Zsun) star-forming region (SFR) toward the Galactic antic…
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…
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…
The 2023 outburst of the Gaia alerted EXor Gaia23bab
Zsófia Nagy, Ágnes Kóspál, Péter Ábrahám +33
Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of episodic accretion. We…
The PLATO Mission

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG. X. Differential abundances in the XO-2 planet hosting binary
K. Biazzo, R. Gratton, S. Desidera +26
Binary stars hosting exoplanets are a unique laboratory where chemical tagging can be performed to measure with high accuracy the elemental abundances of both stellar components, w…
CAOS spectroscopy of Am stars Kepler targets
G. Catanzaro, V. Ripepi, K. Biazzo +6
The {\it Kepler} space mission and its {\it K2} extension provide photometric time series data with unprecedented accuracy. These data challenge our current understanding of the me…
Evidence from stellar rotation of enhanced disc dispersal: (I) The case of the triple visual system BD-21 1074 in the Pictoris association
S. Messina, B. Monard, K. Biazzo +2
The early stage of stellar evolution is characterized by a star-disc locking mechanism. The disc-locking prevents the star to spin its rotation up, and its timescale depends on the…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: metallicity of the Chamaeleon I star forming region
L. Spina, S. Randich, F. Palla +37
Context. Recent metallicity determinations in young open clusters and star-forming regions suggest that the latter may be characterized by a slightly lower metallicity than the Sun…
Three planetary companions around M67 stars
A. Brucalassi, L. Pasquini, R. Saglia +7
For the past six years we have carried out a search for massive planets around main sequence and evolved stars in the open cluster (OC) M67, using radial velocity (RV) measurements…
X-Shooter spectroscopy of young stellar objects III. Photospheric and chromospheric properties of Class III objects
B. Stelzer, A. Frasca, J. M. Alcala +7
We analyzed X-Shooter/VLT spectra of 24 ClassIII sources from three nearby star-forming regions (sigmaOrionis, LupusIII, and TWHya). We determined the effective temperature, surfac…
Characterizing two solar-type Kepler subgiants with asteroseismology: KIC10920273 and KIC11395018
G. Dogan, T. S. Metcalfe, S. Deheuvels +27
Determining fundamental properties of stars through stellar modeling has improved substantially due to recent advances in asteroseismology. Thanks to the unprecedented data quality…
The Chamaeleon II low-mass star-forming region: radial velocities, elemental abundances, and accretion properties
K. Biazzo, J. M. Alcalá, E. Covino +3
Radial velocities, elemental abundances, and accretion properties of members of star-forming regions (SFRs) are important for understanding star and planet formation. While infrare…
