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.

The available time offered in this call at TNG via INAF-TAC is 60 nights, 14 of which are reserved to exo-planetary research programs (see special notices below) and 46 are for other science programs. We encourage applicants to submit proposals asking a row of consecutive nights to be done in visitor mode. The budget can increase if not all the nights offered in other calls will be effectively allocated by the respective TACs. The foreseen schedule breakdown is reported at the bottom. All proposals will be judged strictly on their scientific merit.
