CS Cha B: A disc-obscured M-type star mimicking a polarised planetary companion

Context. Direct imaging provides a steady flow of newly discovered giant planets and brown dwarf companions. These multi-object systems can provide information about the formation of low-mass companions in wide orbits and/or help us to speculate …

Magnetically Controlled Accretion on the Classical T Tauri Stars GQ Lupi and TW Hydrae

We present high spectral resolution (R ensuremath≈ 108, 000) Stokes V polarimetry of the classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) GQ Lup and TW Hya obtained with the polarimetric upgrade to the HARPS spectrometer on the ESO 3.6 m telescope. We present data on …
