We present an analysis of the distribution of 77 supernovae (SNe) Ia relative to spiral arms of their Sab-Scd host galaxies, using our original measurements of the SN distances...

This paper presents the first census of Galactic post-asymptotic Giant Branch stars in the HR diagram. We combined Gaia DR3 parallax-based distances with extinction corrected...

The proper motions (PMs) of OB stars in Cygnus have recently been found to exhibit two large-scale kinematic patterns suggestive of expansion. We perform a 3D traceback on these...

We use the X-ray luminosity relation of radio-loud quasars (RLQs) to measure these luminosity distances as well as estimate cosmological parameters. We adopt four parametric...

Based on Gaia DR2 data and new CHIRON radial velocities, we have discovered that two nearby stellar associations UPK 535 (318.08+/-0.29pc, 25^+15^-10_Myr, 174 stars) and Yep 3...

ATLASGAL is an 870um dust survey of 420deg^2^ the inner Galactic plane and has been used to identify ~10000 dense molecular clumps. Dedicated follow-up observations and...

Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) are the most important primary indicators of the extragalactic distance scale. Establishing the dependence on metallicity of their period-luminosity...

OB associations play an important role in Galactic evolution, though their origins and dynamics remain poorly studied, with only a small number of systems analysed in detail. In...

We consider a complete sample of 101810 giants with Gaia Data Realease 2 (DR2) parallaxes {varpi} within the red clump domain of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram in the space...

Transit observations have found the majority of exoplanets to date. Also spectroscopic observations of transits and eclipses are the most commonly used tool to characterize...

We present the discovery of 255 binary and 6 multiple system candidates with wide (>5arcsec) separation composed by ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) companions to stars, plus nine...

A curious rotation period distribution in the colour-magnitude-period diagram (CMPD) of the Kepler field was recently revealed, thanks to data from Gaia and Kepler spacecraft....

We extend the source sample recently observed by the Breakthrough Listen Initiative by including additional stars (with parallaxes measured by Gaia) that also reside within the...

The discovery and characterization of Algol eclipsing binaries (EAs) provide an opportunity to contribute for a better picture of the structure and evolution of low-mass stars....

The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity...

The accretion of rocky material is responsible for the presence of heavy elements in the atmospheres of a large fraction of white dwarf stars. Those objects represent a unique...

We have used the galaxy modelling algorithm GRAVPOT16, to explore the most probable orbital elements of a sample of 64 selected N-rich stars across the Milky Way. We use the...

We report on the detection of pulsations of three pulsating subdwarf B stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) satellite and our results of mode...

We provide three statistical model prescriptions for the bolometric corrections appropriate for B-type stars as a function of (i) T_eff_, (ii) T_eff_ and logg, and (iii) T_eff_,...

We investigate whether the tentative correlation between planets and debris discs which has been previously identified can be confirmed at high significance. We compile a sample...
