9. Habitable planets in the solar neighbourhood

Decades of radial velocity and transit searches have led to a reasonably complete
picture of the planets in the solar neighbourhood. We know of planets around 50% of
nearby stars and, interestingly, most of them are of terrestrial nature, highlighting the very high occurrence rate (more than 1 planet per star on average). A number of such planets orbit within the habitable zones of their...

10. Revealing nearby Earth-mass planets with ESPRESSO

During last decade there have been a tremendous increase in detection and
characterization of low-mass exoplanets, reaching the Earth size and mass domain.
ESPRESSO is an ultra-stable high-resolution spectrograph, developed by institutions
from Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and ESO, located in the combined Coud´e Lab
of the VLT at ESO, and is able to operate either using one...

11. Unusual optical dimming and near-infrared brightening in ASASSN-21qj: exocometary breakup or colliding ice-giants?

Surveys designed to find exoplanetary transits, such as the one done by Kepler, have turned up the existence of stars showing unusually long and deep dimming events.
The first main sequence star reported to show this behavior was KIC 8462852 (Boyajian et al. 2015), and the leading hypothesis is that the dimming is caused by dust from disintegrating comets (e.g., Thompson et al. 2016). To...
