PRAIA–Package for the Reduction of Astronomical Images Automatically–is a suite of
photometric and astrometric tasks designed to cope with huge amounts of heterogeneous …

The stellar occultation technique provides competitive accuracy in determining the sizes,
shapes, astrometry, etc., of the occulting body, comparable to in-situ observations by …

Context. After the discovery of rings around the largest known Centaur object,(10199)
Chariklo, we carried out observation campaigns of stellar occultations produced by the …

Context. The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first ring system discovered around a small
object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow sizes …

Context. As part of our international program aimed at obtaining accurate physical properties
of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), we predicted a stellar occultation by the TNO (38628) …

Context. Stellar occultation is a powerful technique that allows the determination of some
physical parameters of the occulting object. The result depends on the photometric …

Context. The technique of stellar occultations, greatly enhanced by the publication of the
Gaia data releases, permits not only the determination of asteroid size and shape, but also …

In this paper we report on massive computer simulations aimed to clarify the formation of an
Oort Cloud and the adjoining sednoid population during the earliest times of the solar …

Twenty years ago, we started to apply quantum optics to the astronomical research carried
out inside the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the INAF Astronomical Observatory …
