Context. TOI-1055 is a Sun-like star known to host a transiting Neptune-sized planet on a 17.5-day orbit (TOI-1055 b). Radial velocity (RV) analyses carried out by two independent groups using nearly the same set of HARPS spectra have provided measurements of planetary masses that differ by ∼2σ. Aims: Our aim in this work is to solve the

We describe the spectroscopic data processing pipeline of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which is conducting a redshift survey of about 40 million galaxies and quasars using a purpose-built instrument on the 4 m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The main goal of DESI is to measure with unprecedented precision the

We characterize the properties and evolution of bright central galaxies (BCGs) and the surrounding intracluster light (ICL) in galaxy clusters identified in the Dark Energy Survey and Atacama Cosmology Telescope Survey (DES-ACT) overlapping regions, covering the redshift range 0.20 < z < 0.80. Over this redshift range, we measure no change in the

This paper describes an adaptation of the Optimally Localized Averaging (OLA) inversion technique, originally developed for geo- and helioseismological applications, to the interpretation of solar spectroscopic data. It focuses on inverting the thermodynamical properties of the solar atmosphere, assuming that the atmosphere and radiation field are

In this Letter, we revisit the relationship between the fraction of the intra-cluster light (ICL) as well as the virial mass and the fraction of early-type galaxies in the host halo. This exploration is based on a statistically significant and homogeneous sample of 22 groups and clusters of galaxies in the Local Universe (z ≤ 0.05), obtained with

Cosmological constraints from key probes of the Euclid imaging survey rely critically on the accurate determination of the true redshift distributions, n(z), of tomographic redshift bins. We determine whether the mean redshift, ⟨z⟩, of ten Euclid tomographic redshift bins can be calibrated to the Euclid target uncertainties of σ(⟨z⟩) < 0.002 (1 + z
