Inversions of spectropolarimetric observations of penumbral filaments deliver the stratification of different physical quantities in an optical depth scale...
A giant exoplanet orbiting a very-low-mass star challenges planet formation models
Surveys have shown that super-Earth and Neptune-mass exoplanets are more frequent than gas giants around low-mass stars, as predicted by the core accretion...
A giant impact as the likely origin of different twins in the Kepler-107 exoplanet system
Measures of exoplanet bulk densities indicate that small exoplanets with radius less than 3 Earth radii (R ⊕) range from low-density sub-Neptunes containing...
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the Solar System 1, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into...
A giant planet transiting a 3-Myr protostar with a misaligned disk
Astronomers have found more than a dozen planets transiting stars that are 10–40 million years old 1, but younger transiting planets have remained elusive. The...
A giant radio galaxy with three cycles of episodic jet activity from LoTSS DR2
The excellent sensitivity and optimum resolution of LoTSS DR2 at 144 MHz has enabled us to discover a giant radio galaxy (J1225+4011) with three distinct...
A giant thin stellar stream in the Coma Galaxy Cluster
The study of dynamically cold stellar streams reveals information about the gravitational potential where they reside and provides important constraints on the...
A giant umbrella-like stellar stream around the tidal ring galaxy NGC 922
Context. Tidal ring galaxies (TRGs) are rarely observed in the local universe due to their intrinsically transient nature. The tidal ring structures are the...
A glint in the eye: Photographic plate archive searches for non-terrestrial artefacts
In this paper, we present a simple strategy to identify Non-Terrestrial artefacts [NTAs; Haqq-Misra and Kopparapu (2012)] in or near geosynchronous Earth orbits...
