Recent research, published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics Letters and led by Alessandro Papitto (INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma) and other international collaborators, has unveiled evidence of optical pulsations from the redback millisecond pulsar PSR J2339-0533. This exceptional result was obtained thanks to an intensive observation campaign conducted with the fast single-photon photometer SiFAP2, installed at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG). PSR J2339-0533 is the third optical millisecond pulsar ever discovered, all by SiFAP2, and the first not surrounded by an accretion disk.

As of 27th of October 2025, the original HARPS-N Data Reduction System (DRS32), in use since 2012, has been officially decommissioned. This implies that the legacy DRS32 reduction code will not be run anymore on the TNG servers.

Using data acquired with GIARPS at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo an international team (with researchers from Stockholm University, INAF, PMO Nanjing, Tokyo University, Malmö University and others) has produced the first age-resolved map of phosphorus of the Milky Way. By combining near-infrared spectroscopy with precise age tags from open clusters and classical Cepheids, the researchers uncovered a two track timeline for how this life-linked element accumulated in our Galaxy’s recent past. After the Big Bang produced mostly hydrogen, helium, and a trace of lithium, heavier elements were forged in stellar interiors, supernovae, kilonovae and so on, then recycled into new stars and planets.

We are pleased to announce the hiring of Jonathan Gonzalez Afonso as an Electrical Technician in our Technology Department at Fundación Galileo Galilei. Jonathan brings valuable skills and experience to our team, and we are confident he will make a great contribution to our ongoing projects.
