An uncombed inversion of multiwavelength observations reproducing the net circular polarization in a sunspot's penumbra
Context. The penumbra of sunspots has a complex magnetic field topology whose three-dimensional organization remains unclear after more than a century of...
An underlying clock in the extreme flip-flop state transitions of the black hole transient Swift J1658.2-4242
Aims: Flip-flops are top-hat-like X-ray flux variations, which have been observed in some transient accreting black hole binary systems, and feature...
We report the discovery of an unusual low-ionization broad absorption line quasar at z=1.776 which exhibits absorption lines from many excited states of Fe II...
An unusual transient in the extremely metal-poor Galaxy SDSS J094332.35+332657.6 (Leoncino Dwarf)
We have serendipitously discovered that Leoncino Dwarf, an ultrafaint, low-metallicity record-holder dwarf galaxy, may have hosted a transient source, and...
An unusually low-density super-Earth transiting the bright early-type M-dwarf GJ 1018 (TOI-244)
Context. Small planets located at the lower mode of the bimodal radius distribution are generally assumed to be composed of iron and silicates in a proportion...
An updated MILES stellar library and stellar population models
Aims: We present a number of improvements to the MILES library and stellar population models. We correct some small errors in the radial velocities of the stars...
An updated stellar census of the Quintuplet cluster
Context. Found within the central molecular zone, the Quintuplet is one of the most massive young clusters in the Galaxy. As a consequence it offers the...
An Upper Limit on the Temporal Variations of the Solar Interior Stratification
We have analyzed changes in the acoustic oscillation eigenfrequencies measured over the past 7 years by the GONG, MDI, and LOWL instruments. The observations...
