Description
A sample of galaxies characterized by a low surface brightness disk has dynamically studied using, as tracer, the stellar component. The kinematical data, taken along the major and minor axis, extend well within the disk region. The stellar kinematics is more regular and symmetric than the ionized-gas kinematics. Moreover, when comparing the circular velocity derived by means of the dynamical mass model and the one measured from the ionized-gas we find that the later is characterized by a shallower velocity gradient in the central regions.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    3.5 years of observing exoplanet day sides with CHEOPS

    Characterising Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) is the first ESA exoplanet space mission. The satellite carries a 30cm telescope, optimised to deliver exquisite (ppm-level) photometry of bright exoplanetary systems at optical wavelengths. CHEOPS has spent approximately 20% of its observing time during its 3.5-year long nominal mission studying

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition
