Calibrating the Rossby number, a key parameter to study the magnetic activity of stars
In a star like the Sun, surface magnetic activity results from the interaction between rotation, convection, and magnetic field. One of the key parameters to...

CARMENES project boosts the number of known planets in the solar neighbourhood
20,000 observations from the Calar Alto telescope in Spain are made public, and have led to the discovery of 59 planets, some of them potentially habitable. The...
Caught in the act: the winds driven by supermassive black holes directly impact star formation

Challenging the theoretically predicted mass-loss rate increase of blue supergiants in the bi-stability region of the stellar winds
The properties of blue supergiants are key for constraining the end of the main sequence phase, a phase during which massive stars spend most of their lifetimes...
