Description
Massive stars are fundamental drivers of the Universe because of their injection of energy, momentum, and nuclear-processed material in every stage of their life and death. Their feedback depends on their formation, winds and evolution, and these in turn depend on chemical composition. The GTC-OSIRIS combination is an excellent machine for quantitative studies of blue massive stars in Local Group galaxies, where different metallicity environments can be probed. We present our analyses of OSIRIS spectra of blue massive stars in IC 1613, where metallicity ranges from ~0.05 to 0.1 Z_⊙ according to HII regions. GTC-OSIRIS unveils unknown O-type stars in IC 1613, whose quantitative analysis will provide new insight for our models of massive star winds and evolution and will serve as proxy for studies of the early Universe.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    Nodal Precession of a Hot Jupiter Transiting the Edge of a Late A-Type Star TOI-1518

    TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter b~0.9) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The host star's high rotation speed (Vsini s~85 km s -1) and the planet's nearly polar orbit (λ~120 deg) may cause a nodal

    Observational evidence of different formation mechanisms of Solar System-type architectures across spectral types

    Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the
