The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by providing new opportunities to discover young exoplanets. A young association was recently identified by Tang et al. and Fürnkranz et al. using astrometry from Gaia

The composition of several exoplanet atmospheres has been largely debated with contrasting results in the literature. Low- and high-resolution spectroscopy offer complementary views, although sometimes appear to be in sparkling contrast. We present a new approach to simultaneously model low- and high-resolution observation and apply this method to

Aims: We explore correlations between the strength of metallicity gradients in Local Group dwarf galaxies and their stellar mass, star formation history timescales, and environment. Methods: We performed a homogeneous analysis of literature spectroscopic data of red giant stars and determined radial metallicity profiles for 30 Local Group dwarf

Vast majority of known V-type asteroids belong to the dynamical Vesta family. A small number of V-types in the mid and outer parts of the Main Asteroid Belt is considered unrelated to the fossil planetesimal (4) Vesta. These objects have low probability of dynamically evolving from the Vesta family and show spectral properties distinct from typical

Technology now exists to enable large optical systems that are capable of resolving and measuring faint sources not accessible with current remote sensing instruments and detectors. The possibility of creating ground-based telescopes at the 50m-scale with sufficient wavefront control to both fully overcome the effects of the atmosphere, but with

Hayabusa2 took on the challenge of collecting fresh subsurface samples from asteroid (162173) Ryugu during its second touchdown operation. For this ambitious goal, the spacecraft conducted artificial cratering by using a small carry-on impactor (SCI), leading to the exposure of subsurface materials. The key to mission success lies in the target
