We analysed spectroscopic data obtained with VLT/VIMOS for two multiple-cluster systems, PLCKG214.6+36.9 and PLCKG334.8−38.0, discovered by Planck via their thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signal. Combining the optical spectroscopy for the redshift determination and photometric data from galaxy surveys (SDSS, WISE and DESI), we were able to study the

The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a large dust cloud was released, and a long-lasting dust tail developed. We have extensively monitored the dust tail from the ground and the Hubble Space Telescope. We

Aims: In this paper, we carry out a phenomenological investigation of the viability of fuzzy dark matter, which is composed of coherent waves of non-interacting ultralight axions with a mass of m a ≈ 10 −22 eV. We did so by confronting the predictions of the model, in particular, the formation of a solitonic core at the center of dark matter halos

Observed scaling relations in galaxies between baryons and dark matter global properties are key to shed light on the process of galaxy formation and on the nature of dark matter. Here, we study the scaling relation between the neutral hydrogen (H I) and dark matter mass in isolated rotationally supported disk galaxies at low redshift. We first

This work focusses on the pilot run of a simulation campaign aimed at investigating the spectroscopic capabilities of the Euclid Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP), in terms of continuum and emission line detection in the context of galaxy evolutionary studies. To this purpose, we constructed, emulated, and analysed the spectra of

We report the discovery of GRB 221009A, the highest flux gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). This GRB has continuous prompt emission lasting more than 600 s, which smoothly transitions to afterglow emission visible in the Fermi-GBM energy range (8 keV-40 MeV), and total energetics higher than any
