The analysis of a long X-ray observation reveals the nature of the mysterious star Wd1-9: a binary system containing a star that has recently evolved into the Wolf-Rayet phase, after expelling the outer layers of its atmosphere, which were accreted onto the companion star. Among the at least one hundred billion stars hosted by our Galaxy, there are a

Eight free-floating planetary-mass objects, identified in three star-forming regions, exhibit unique features: signs of ongoing planet formation and silicate-rich clouds in their photospheres. It was in the year 2000 that we first learned of the possible existence of free-floating planetary-mass objects—not bound to any exoplanetary system—thanks to observations analyzed by two research groups, one from the Institute of Astrophysics

Hot Jupiters are gas giants that orbit at distances less than 0.1 AU from their host star. But what determines the final orbital radius of these planets? In intermediate-mass stars, it seems to be the dispersion of gas in their protoplanetary disks. Hot Jupiters are a class of exoplanets that are not found in our Solar System. They are
