That instrument launched a century of coronagraphy that has only accelerated: from ground-based instruments tospaceborne coronagraphs and, more recently, multi-viewpoint constellations and wide-field ...

Through their motion relative to the solar disk, non-radial solar-wind velocities can produce Doppler dimming or brightening in the radiation field as seen by the coronal atoms. This can modify the ...

PLUTO is a joint project between Università degli Studi di Torino, Osservatorio Astrofisico di Torino and CINECA. It is a code for the numerical solution of systems of partial differential equations ...

An international team has conducted a census of all known objects within 10 parsec (30 light-years) of the Sun, resulting in a new catalogue of 540 stars, brown dwarfs, white dwarfs and exoplanets in ...

An international team led by Matteo Pinamonti of the Observatory of Turin has characterized Gaia-6 B, a rare brown dwarf orbiting the star HD 128717, by combining data from the Gaia mission with ...

A team of researchers led by INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Torino has discovered and characterized a particularly interesting exoplanet system around the bright (V=7.3 mag) and nearby (d=20 pc) K ...

The butterfly diagram is a graphical representation created by astronomer Edward Walter Maunder in a 1904 paper to visualize the evolution of sunspots over time and latitude. By plotting the position ...

The “GAPS” (Global Architecture of Planetary Systems) project gathers a large part of the Italian community working on exoplanets. Transit space missions are significantly contributing in our view of ...

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Turin Astronomical Observatory experienced a landmark turning point marked by its relocation to the remote hill of Pino Torinese and the opening of its doors ...

The Sun, our star, is currently in the maximum phase of its eleven-year activity cycle. This means that not only is the solar disk marked by numerous sunspots, but also that the active regions ...

An international team led by INAF-Turin has confirmed the discovery of three exoplanets belonging to the category of “hot Neptunes”. These are worlds similar in size to Neptune and Uranus, but ...
