The "Fundación Galileo Galilei - INAF, Fundación Canaria" (FGG) is a Spanish no-profit institution constituted by "INAF", the Italian Institute of Astrophysics.
The FGG's aim is to promote the astrophysical research, as foreseen in the international agreement of May 26, 1979 ("Acuerdo de Cooperación en Materia de Astrofísica, B.O.E. Núm.161, 6 Jul 1979"), by managing and running the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), a 3.58m optical/infrared telescope located in the Island of San Miguel de La Palma, together with its scientific, technical and administrative facilities.

HARPS-N unveils an intriguing multi-planet system around HIP-99452
Thanks to 141 high-precision radial-velocity measurements obtained with
HARPS-N within the GAPS (Global Architecture of Planetary Systems)
consortium,
a team of researchers led by Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) has
discovered and characterized a particularly interesting exoplanetary system
around the bright (V = 7.3 mag) and nearby (d = 20 pc) K-dwarf star
HIP-99452
(TOI-5789).
The team focused on this star following the discovery of a transiting
sub-Neptune-sized planet (with a radius smaller than Neptune’s) on an orbit
of
approximately 13 days by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
(TESS).
