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…

New Optical and Mid-Infrared RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relations for Precision Distances and Metallicity Distributions in the Magellanic Clouds

Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez, Joseph P. Mullen, Massimo Marengo +11

RR Lyrae (RRL) stars, thanks to the existence of their period-luminosity relations, have been widely used as primary standard candles within the Milky Way and the Local Group of ga…

The Hot Neptune Initiative (HONEI) III. An ultra-hot super Neptune orbiting the metal-rich subgiant star TOI-5646: the largest host for a desert dweller

L. Mancini, F. Manni, D. Kubyshkina +25

We report the confirmation of the TESS transiting-planet candidate orbiting the metal-rich F8\,IV-V subgiant star TOI-5646 (V=11.38 mag; T=6136 K). The planetary nature of TOI-5646…

Radial abundance gradients of 18 elements in Galactic open clusters from infrared MWM spectra A detailed analysis of 655 giants in 133 clusters

S. Bijavara Seshashayana, H. Jönsson, V. D'Orazi +3

Open clusters are powerful tools for studying the Milky Way. While large spectroscopic surveys now provide spectra for many cluster members, automated pipelines and heterogeneous m…

On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes:. IX. Radial velocities

K. Baeza-Villagra, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +25

We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of radial velocity (RV) measurements for field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables, based on both proprietary and publicly available spectr…

Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG. Beyond the iron peak: Galactic evolution of molybdenum, ruthenium and zirconium through open clusters

Natalia Alvarez-Baena, Valentina D'Orazi, Christopher Sneden +11

Context: Open clusters serve as key laboratories for studying the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. In particular, leveraging these coeval groups of stars to study elements beyo…
