    Discovery of Two New Thermally Bloated Low-Mass White Dwarfs Among the Kepler Binaries
    We report the discovery of two new low-mass, thermally bloated, hot white dwarfs among the Kepler sample of eclipsing binaries. These are KIC 9164561 and KIC...

    Discovery of two warm mini-Neptunes with contrasting densities orbiting the young K3V star TOI-815
    We present the discovery and characterization of two warm mini-Neptunes transiting the K3V star TOI-815 in a K-M binary system. Analysis of its spectra and...

    Discovery of XO-6b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a Fast Rotating F5 Star on an Oblique Orbit
    Only a few hot Jupiters are known to orbit around fast rotating stars. These exoplanets are harder to detect and characterize and may be less common than around...

    Discriminating between hazy and clear hot-Jupiter atmospheres with CARMENES
    Context. Relatively large radii of some hot Jupiters observed in the ultraviolet and blue-optical are generally interpreted to be due to Rayleigh scattering by...

    Disproving the validated planets K2-78b, K2-82b, and K2-92b. The importance of independently confirming planetary candidates
    Context. Transiting super-Earths orbiting bright stars in short orbital periods are interesting targets for the study of planetary atmospheres. Aims: While...

    Dissecting galactic bulges in space and time - I. The importance of early formation scenarios versus secular evolution
    The details of bulge formation via collapse, mergers, secular processes or their interplay remain unresolved. To start answering this question and quantify the...

    Dissecting the stellar content of Leo I: a dwarf irregular caught in transition
    Leo I is considered one of the youngest dwarf spheroidals (dSph) in the Local Group. Its isolation, extended star formation history (SFH), and recent...

    Distant trans-Neptunian object candidates from NASA's TESS mission scrutinized: fainter than predicted or false positives?
    NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is performing a homogeneous survey of the sky from space in search of transiting exoplanets. The collected...

    Distribution and spectrophotometric classification of basaltic asteroids
    We aim to determine the distribution of basaltic asteroids (classified as V-types) based on the spectrophotometric data reported in the MOVIS-C catalogue. A...
