A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

In a recent paper, Nicholas Borsato, along with collaborators Jens Hoeijmakers, Bibiana Prinoth, Brian Thorsbro, and Rebecca Forsberg, provides insightful research on the complex atmospheric composition of the exoplanet KELT-9b. The team captured the exoplanet's spectra during transit, revealing numerous elements within its atmosphere. This study not only verifies the presence of previously known

Astronomers invited members of the public to look at the spring skies through the teaching telescopes. There are a number of both historical and modern telescopes at Lund Observatory.  Usually these are used for teaching purposes but every now and then the astronomers decide to stay at work late into the evening in order to give members of the public the chance for some stargazing. This spring thr
