Detection of optical quasi-periodic oscillation in the blazar 3C 454.3

Karan Dogra, Alok C. Gupta, C. M. Raiteri +83

We analyzed 19 years of -band data of the blazar 3C 454.3 from the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) archive, along with new data from its members and from public archives suc…

Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing

Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40

The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXX. HD 128717 B/Gaia-6 B: a long-period eccentric low-mass brown dwarf from astrometry and radial velocities

M. Pinamonti, A. Sozzetti, D. Barbato +24

The transition regime between giant planets (GPs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) is still an open subject of study in exoplanetary science. A complete understanding of the population of lo…

Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG 23 IR elemental abundances of 114 giant stars in 41 Open Clusters

Shilpa Bijavara Seshashayana, Henrik Jönsson, Valentina D'Orazi +4

Open clusters have been extensively used as tracers of Galactic chemical evolution, as their constituent stars possess shared characteristics, including age, Galactocentric radius,…

Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG: NLTE atmospheric parameters and abundances of giant stars in 33 Open Clusters

M. Dal Ponte, V. D'Orazi, A. Bragaglia +11

Open clusters serve as important tools for accurately studying the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. By combining precise chemical data from high-resolution spectra with informa…

TESS and HARPS-N unveil two planets transiting TOI-1453. A super-Earth and one of the lowest mass sub-Neptunes

M. Stalport, A. Mortier, M. Cretignier +37

We report on the validation and characterisation of two transiting planets around TOI-1453, a K-dwarf star in the TESS northern continuous viewing zone. In addition to the TESS dat…
