Description
We present simultaneous high-resolution optical spectroscopy and X-ray data of the X-ray binary system GRMus (XB1254-690), obtained over a full range of orbital phases. The X-ray observations are used to re-establish the orbital ephemeris for this source. The optical data include the first spectroscopic detection of the donor star in this system through the use of the Doppler Tomography technique on the Bowen fluorescence blend (~4630-4650 Å). In combination with an estimate for the orbital parameters of the compact object using the wings of the HeII λ4686 emission line, dynamical mass constraints of 1.20 <= MX/Msolar <= 2.64 for the neutron star and 0.45 <= M2/Msolar <= 0.85 for the companion are derived.

    Detection of Na in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-55b
    The spectral signatures of optical absorbers, when combined with those of infrared molecules, play a critical role in constraining the cloud properties of exoplanet atmospheres. We aim to use optical transmission spectroscopy to confirm the tentative color signature previously observed by multiband photometry in the atmosphere of hot Jupiter HAT-P

    The COSMOS-Web ring: In-depth characterization of an Einstein ring lensing system at z ∼ 2
    Aims: We provide an in-depth analysis of the COSMOS-Web ring, an Einstein ring at z ≈ 2 that we serendipitously discovered during the data reduction of the COSMOS-Web survey and that could be the most distant lens discovered to date. Methods: We extracted the visible and near-infrared photometry of the source and the lens from more than 25 bands

    Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP). I. Nine Newly Confirmed Hot Jupiters from the TESS Mission
    Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery the mysteries surrounding their origins have remained. Here we present nine new hot Jupiters (TOI-1855 b, TOI-2107 b, TOI-2368 b, TOI-3321 b, TOI-3894 b, TOI-3919 b, TOI-4153 b, TOI-5232 b, and TOI-5301 b) discovered by NASA's TESS
