PSR J1641+8049 is a 2 ms black widow pulsar with the 2.2 h orbital period detected in the radio and γ-rays. We performed new phase-resolved multiband photometry of PSR J1641+8049 using the OSIRIS instrument at the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The obtained data were analysed together with the new radio-timing observations from the Canadian Hydrogen

A large number of white dwarf and donor masses in cataclysmic variables have been found via modelling the primary eclipse, a method that relies on untested assumptions. Recent measurements of the mass of the white dwarf in the cataclysmic variable GY Cnc, obtained via modelling its ultraviolet spectrum, conflict with the mass obtained via modelling

We use JWST/MIRI MRS spectroscopy of a sample of six local obscured type 1.9/2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) to compare their nuclear mid-IR absorption bands with the level of nuclear obscuration traced by X-rays. This study is the first to use subarcsecond angular resolution data of local obscured AGN to investigate the nuclear mid-IR absorption

In order to investigate the potential Hubble tension, we compile a catalogue of 216 measurements of the Hubble-Lemaître constant H 0 between 2012 and 2022, which includes 109 model-independent measurements and 107 ΛCDM model-based measurements. Statistical analyses of these measurements show that the deviations of the results with respect to the

We show that the rotation curves of 16 nearby disc galaxies in the THINGS sample and the Milky Way can be described by the Navarro-Frenk-White halo model and by the Bosma effect at approximately the same level of accuracy. The latter effect suggests that the behaviour of the rotation curve at large radii is determined by the rescaled gas component

This is the fourth paper of our new release of the BaSTI (a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones) stellar model and isochrone library. Following the updated solar-scaled, α-enhanced, and white dwarf model libraries, we present here α-depleted ([α/Fe] = -0.2) evolutionary tracks and isochrones, suitable to study the α-depleted stars discovered in
