Context. The Hayabusa2 spacecraft launched by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has been conducting observations of the asteroid (162173) Ryugu since June 2018...
Going back to basics: accelerating exoplanet transit modelling using Taylor-series expansion of the orbital motion
A significant fraction of an exoplanet transit model evaluation time is spent calculating projected distances between the planet and its host star. This is a...
Gran Telescopio Canarias OSIRIS transiting exoplanet atmospheric survey: detection of potassium in XO-2b from narrowband spectrophotometry
We present Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) optical transit narrowband photometry of the hot-Jupiter exoplanet XO-2b using the OSIRIS instrument. This unique...
Granulation in K-type dwarf stars. I. Spectroscopic observations
Aims: We seek to detect and quantify the effects of surface convection (granulation) on the line spectra of K-dwarfs as a first step towards a rigorous testing...
Gray transits of WD 1145+017 over the visible band
We have observed several relatively deep transits of the white dwarf WD 1145+017 with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) in the wavelength range 480 to 920 nm...
GRB 011121: A Collimated Outflow into Wind-blown Surroundings
We report optical and near-infrared follow-up observations of GRB 011121 collected predominantly at ESO telescopes in Chile. We discover a break in the...
GRB 051028: an intrinsically faint gamma-ray burst at high redshift?
Aims.We present multiwavelength observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 051028 detected by HETE-2 in order to derive its afterglow emission parameters and to...
Greening of the brown-dwarf desert. EPIC 212036875b: a 51 MJ object in a 5-day orbit around an F7 V star
Context. Although more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been detected to date, mainly from direct imaging, their characterisation is difficult due to their faintness...
Gregor@night: The future high-resolution stellar spectrograph for the GREGOR solar telescope
We describe the future night-time spectrograph for the GREGOR solar telescope and present its science core projects. The spectrograph provides a 3-pixel...
