Description
Light curves of the very low-mass member of the alpha Persei open cluster, AP J0323+4853, obtained during two different observing runs in 1994 and 1995, display a starspot rotational modulation of period ~7.6h. With a most likely mass of 0.09 Msolar, close to the substellar limit, AP J0323+4853 is the lowest mass star so far for which a photometric rotation period has been derived.

    SMARTY: The MILES moderate resolution near-infrared stellar library
    Most of the observed galaxies cannot be resolved into individual stars and are studied through their integrated spectrum using simple stellar populations (SSPs) models, with stellar libraries being a key ingredient in building them. Spectroscopic observations are increasingly being directed towards the near-infrared (NIR), where much is yet to be

    VaTEST III: Validation of eight potential super-earths from TESS data
    NASA's all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has successfully identified approximately 400 transiting exoplanets, in addition to roughly 6 000 candidate exoplanets pending confirmation. In this study, we present the results

    Validation of a Third Planet in the LHS 1678 System
    The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The host star occupies a narrow "gap" in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram lower main sequence, associated with the M dwarf fully convective boundary and long-term luminosity
