The Inbound Gas and Dust Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS from Optical Spectroscopy and Multi-band Photometry
Toni Santana-Ros, Alexey Sergeyev, Oleksandra Ivanova +9
Interstellar objects (ISOs) provide direct constraints on the composition and evolution of extrasolar planetary systems. As the third confirmed ISO, comet 3I/ATLAS offers a rare op…
Rotation, spectral type, and albedo of the potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN Prior to the 2028 June close approach
Jin Beniyama, Alexey V. Sergeyev, Konstantinos Odysseas Xenos +6
The potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN will pass inside the lunar distance on June 26, 2028, offering a rare opportunity to characterize a kilometer-scale near-Ear…
Joining forces: 30 years of optical monitoring of the Einstein Cross
V. N. Shalyapin, L. J. Goicoechea, R. Gil-Merino +5
We present an extended optical monitoring of the quadruply-imaged gravitationally lensed quasar QSO 2237+0305, the Einstein Cross, including observations from different observatori…
Optical+NIR analysis of a Newly Confirmed Einstein ring at z1 from the Kilo-Degree Survey: Dark matter fraction, total and dark matter density slope and IMF
Rui Li, Nicola R. Napolitano, Giuseppe D Ago +16
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of a bright blue Einstein ring in the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) footprint: the Einstein ``blue eye''. Spectroscopic data from X-Shooter at…
E-INSPIRE -- I. Bridging the gap with the local Universe: Stellar population of a statistical sample of ultra-compact massive galaxies at
John Mills, Chiara Spiniello, Alexey Sergeyev +10
This paper presents the first effort to Extend the Investigation of Stellar Populations In RElics (E-INSPIRE). We present a catalogue of 430 spectroscopically-confirmed ultra-compa…
