Much remains to be understood about the nature of exoplanets smaller than Neptune, most of which have been discovered in compact multi-planet systems. With its...
A chromospheric resonance cavity in a sunspot mapped with seismology
Sunspots are intense collections of magnetic fields that pierce through the Sun's photosphere, with their signatures extending upwards into the outermost...
A Classical Morphological Analysis of Galaxies in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) is the largest available database of deep, homogeneous middle-infrared (mid-IR) images of galaxies of...
A clean sightline to quiescence: multiwavelength observations of the high Galactic latitude black hole X-ray binary Swift J1357.2-0933
We present coordinated multiwavelength observations of the high Galactic latitude (b = +50°) black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) Swift J1357.2-0933 in quiescence...
We introduce a set of clockwork models of flavor that can naturally explain the large hierarchies of the Standard Model quark masses and mixing angles. Since...
A close look at the dwarf AGN of NGC 4395: optical and near-IR integral field spectroscopy
Intermediate-mass black holes (103-105 M⊙) in the centre of dwarf galaxies are believed to be analogous to growing active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the early...
A Close-in Puffy Neptune with Hidden Friends: The Enigma of TOI 620
We present the validation of a transiting low-density exoplanet orbiting the M2.5 dwarf TOI 620 discovered by the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite...
A closer look at LTT 9779b:The ESPRESSO endeavour to pierce the atmospheric veil
Context. The proliferation of exoplanet discoveries, particularly within such exotic environments as the Neptune desert, challenges our understanding of...
