Description
The possible existence of the June Lyrid meteor shower is examined from data in the IMO archive from 1984 to 1997. It is concluded that the activity is weak but detectable in most years. The mean activity curve shos a symmetrical rise and fall about a maximum of ZHR = 3, although annual variations are undoubtedly present. The solar longitude of the maximum has remained practically constant since the discovery of the stream in the late 1960s.

    Magnetic topology of quiet-Sun Ellerman bombs and associated ultraviolet brightenings
    Context. Quiet-Sun Ellerman bombs (QSEBs) are small-scale magnetic reconnection events in the lower atmosphere of the quiet Sun. Recent work has shown that a small percentage of them can occur co-spatially and co-temporally with ultraviolet (UV) brightenings in the transition region. Aims. We aim to understand how the magnetic topologies associated

    TOI-2458 b: A mini-Neptune consistent with in situ hot Jupiter formation
    We report on the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of TOI-2458 b, a transiting mini-Neptune around an F-type star leaving the main-sequence with a mass of M ★ = 1.05 ± 0.03 M ⊙, a radius of R ★ = 1.31 ± 0.03 R ⊙, an effective temperature of T eff = 6005 ± 50 K, and a metallicity of ‑0.10 ± 0.05 dex. By combining TESS photometry with high

    CHEOPS observations confirm nodal precession in the WASP-33 system
    Aims. We aim to observe the transits and occultations of WASP-33 b, which orbits a rapidly rotating δ Scuti pulsator, with the goal of measuring the orbital obliquity via the gravity-darkening effect, and constraining the geometric albedo via the occultation depth. Methods. We observed four transits and four occultations with CHEOPS, and employ a
