AHEAD Announcement of Opportunity Cycle 3

The AHEAD (Integrated Activities for High Energy Astrophysics*) project solicits proposals for its program of transnational visits. This program offers access free-of-cost to some of the best European test and calibration facilities, training/mentoring on X-ray data analysis and visits of scientists/engineers at all expertise levels.

AO-3 Calls Opening:        15 November 2016

Submission Deadlines:

- Call 1 (Experimental Facilities):  30 June 2018; proposals will be evaluated on a twice-a year basis

- Calls 2 and 3 (Data analysis):  31 December 2016, 17:00 CET

Three main calls are included in this AO. For further information and links to the three AO-3 Calls:

AN "IMPROBABLE" PLANETARY SYSTEM: COMPACT, COPLANAR, AND SHAPED BY A BROWN DWARF

Jun 17, 2026

AN "IMPROBABLE" PLANETARY SYSTEM: COMPACT, COPLANAR, AND SHAPED BY A BROWN DWARF An international team involving over ten institutions, with a strong participation from ESO and INAF, has characterised TOI-201 c, the transiting brown dwarf with the longest period for which mass has been measured. The study, published today in Nature, reveals a compact, coplanar system in which the presence of a massive, eccentric object redefines the stability boundaries for the inner planets

ALMA WITNESSES STAR BIRTH BEYOND THE EDGES OF THE MILKY WAY

Apr 22, 2026

ALMA WITNESSES STAR BIRTH BEYOND THE EDGES OF THE MILKY WAY A new study, led by INAF, has mapped, for the first time, the mass distribution of newly formed cores in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Thanks to high-resolution images from ALMA, it has emerged that these cores form according to the same patterns observed in the Milky Way. The result suggests that the initial fragmentation mechanisms of gas and dust clumps, from which stars are born, are universal and independent of the galactic environment.
