A new method to cleanly separate hot and cool populations using just Gaia and 2MASS photometry

J. Maíz Apellániz, M. Pantaleoni González

We have developed a photometric method that produces clean hot (intrinsically blue) populations using Gaia and 2MASS photometry alone with [a] a very small (false positives < 1%) c…

Results on young stellar clusters with the WEAVE LIFU

J. Maíz Apellániz, G. Holgado, C. Fariña +1

We present the first results of two Spanish TAC programs using the WEAVE LIFU that have been obtaining data since October 2023. The first one is obtaining high-resolution multi-epo…

Extinction, the elephant in the room that hinders optical Galactic observations

Jesús Maíz Apellániz

Extinction is the elephant in the room that almost everyone tries to avoid when analyzing optical/IR data: astronomers tend to find a quick fix for it that the referee will accept,…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description

Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78

Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…

Stellar variability in Gaia DR3. I. Three-band photometric dispersions for 145 million sources

J. Maíz Apellániz, G. Holgado, M. Pantaleoni González +1

CONTEXT: The unparalleled characteristics of Gaia photometry make it an excellent choice to study stellar variability. AIMS: To measure the phot. dispersion in G+G_BP+G_RP of the 1…

The IACOB project VIII. Searching for empirical signatures of binarity in fast-rotating O-type stars

N. Britavskiy, S. Simón-Díaz, G. Holgado +6

The empirical distribution of projected rotational velocities (vsini) in massive O-type stars is characterized by a dominant slow velocity component and a tail of fast rotators. Bi…
