Unmasking (44) Nysa: Evidence for a trilobate structure
Kate Minker, Anthony Berdeu, Gianluca Li Causi +16
Context. (44) Nysa is one of the largest known E-type asteroids. Light curve inversion models have indicated that it may have an elongated shape commonly found in large binary syst…
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…
The GAPS Programme at the TNG: LXX. TOI-5734b: A hot sub-Neptune orbiting a relatively young K dwarf with an Earth-like density
S. Filomeno, T. Trifonov, M. Damasso +40
Increasing interest in young exoplanets is leading to a growing effort to understand the formation and evolutionary processes responsible for their different architectures. One int…
Spectroscopic follow-up of Gaia alerted Young Stellar Object variables: the Large Binocular Telescope view
Teresa Giannini, Manuele Gangi, Fernando Cruz-Saenz de Miera +13
We analyzed optical/near-IR Large Binocular Telescope spectra of 16 sources alerted by Gaia between 2021 and 2024 due to significant photometric variability. Half of the spectra we…
PROJECT-J: the shocking H2 outflow from HH46
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Brunella Nisini, Teresa Giannini +14
We analyze the H2 emission observed in the HH46 Class I system as part of PROJECT-J (Protostellar Jets Cradle Tested with JWST), to investigate the origin and excitation of the war…
The Outbursting YSOs Catalogue (OYCAT)
C. Contreras Peña, J. -E. Lee, G. Herczeg +39
YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large ch…
