Solar prominences are cool and dense plasma structures floating in the hot solar corona. They are ubiquitous features in the solar atmosphere, but their formation mechanism is still unclear. Here we perform comprehensive fully…
Stellar rotation is a fundamental tracer of stellar magnetic evolution, age, and activity, with broad implications for Galactic archaeology and exoplanet characterization. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) provides…
We present the longest-term optical analysis of the AM CVn system KL Dra using $\sim11$ years of monitoring from TESS and wide-field ground-based surveys. The continuous TESS coverage allows us to characterise its frequent outbursts with…
We present a highly simplified nonlinear hydrodynamical model to emulate the main observed features of amplitude modulation (commonly known as Blazhko effect) in RR Lyrae stars. The model is based on the assumption that the periodic flow…
We present detailed asteroseismic modelling of 95 main-sequence solar-like stars and Kepler exoplanet host stars using the FICO procedure, a three-step method that combines forward and inverse techniques that enables precise inference of…
Open clusters are fundamental laboratories for investigating stellar and Galactic evolution, and serve as important benchmarks for asteroseismic analyses. Using a boutique method to analyze TESS photometry, we study red giants in two old…
The evolution of protoplanetary disks, especially in the early stages of planetary formation, as dust grows, is the cornerstone of the birth of planets. The mechanisms involved in the growth of sub-micrometric dust grains into planetesimals…
The nature of eclipsing time variations (ETVs) in post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) is still unknown. Circumbinary planets routinely fail the test of time and the Applegate mechanism has energetic constraints and problems in reproducing…
Recent observations of protostars with the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed unprecedented chemical complexity from their ice absorption features. However, these spectra are likely influenced by radiative transfer effects, and there…
We investigate the survival of dust trapped in magnetically confined cool gas clouds (or {\it prominences}) around rapidly rotating M-dwarfs exhibiting the ``scallop-shell'' light-curve morphology. Using a two-dimensional…
The evolutionary state of the 198 day eclipsing binary BM Cas is examined using spectra that cover five orbital cycles. Radial velocities measured from SiII 6347 and SiII 6371 track the motion of the primary, and a mass function is found…
Solar analogs, stars that closely match the fundamental properties of the Sun, provide key benchmarks for testing stellar structure and evolution across different ages and activity levels. Their detailed characterization helps place the Sun…
A high-resolution ($\sim$45000), high signal-to-noise ($>$100) K-band spectral atlas of massive stars is presented. It includes 81 stars consisting of known optical standards, spanning spectral and luminosity subclasses from O2 to O9, and…
Context. Growing evidence is revealing the crucial role of binarity in massive star evolution. This affects evolution models and demands a refinement of the available observational constraints. Aims. To investigate the possible evolutionary…
Gravitational-wave observations of binary black hole (BH) mergers provide a novel avenue for testing massive-star evolution and the resulting BH mass spectrum. Recent population analyses under the hierarchical-merger hypothesis have offered…
The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement whether the heliospheric tail extends to $\sim$10,000 au in a comet-like shape…
Context. The solar atmosphere is gravitationally stratified and consists of several layers at temperatures different by orders of magnitude. Consequently, the solar atmospheric plasma changes from weakly ionized in the photosphere,…
Using high-resolution data from the Chashan Broadband Solar radio spectrometer at meter wavelengths (CBSm) of the Chinese Meridian Project-Phase II (CMP-II), Li et al. (2025) identified a novel fine spectral structure of solar radio bursts,…
We present the SPHEREx Ultracool Dwarf spectral Atlas (SUDA), a homogeneous sample of 1675 ultracool dwarfs with continuous 0.75--5 $\mu$m spectroscopy from SPHEREx QR2. Using the SAND and ATMO2020++ atmospheric model grids, we derive…
We present the first detailed optical study of the cataclysmic variable SRGA J115215.0$-$510656, based on new time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations complemented by long-baseline Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite…
