Descripción
This paper reviews Ladenburg’s development of the phenomenological theory of radiative transitions between the stationary states of an atom put forward by Einstein in 1917. The historical background as well as the far reaching outcomes of his work are considered and discussed; among them the Kramers–Heisenberg quantum dispersion theory that paved the way to Heisenberg’s formulation of matrix mechanics and the quantum-mechanical calculation of the spectral line profiles.

    Unveiling the (in)consistencies among the galaxy stellar mass function, star formation histories, satellite abundances, and intracluster light from a semi-empirical perspective
    In a hierarchical, dark matter-dominated Universe, stellar mass functions (SMFs), galaxy merger rates, star formation histories (SFHs), satellite abundances, and intracluster light (ICL), should all be intimately connected observables. However, the systematics affecting observations still prevent universal and uniform measurements of, for example

    HD 110067 c has an aligned orbit. Measuring the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect inside a resonant multi-planet system with ESPRESSO
    Planetary systems in mean motion resonances hold a special place among the planetary population. They allow us to study planet formation in great detail as dissipative processes are thought to have played an important role in their existence. Additionally, planetary masses in bright resonant systems can be independently measured via both radial

    Bayesian inference methodology to characterize the dust emissivity at far-infrared and submillimeter frequencies
    We present a Bayesian inference method to characterize the dust emission properties using the well-known dust-${\rm H\,{\small I}}$ correlation in the diffuse interstellar medium at Planck frequencies $\nu \ge 217$ GHz. We use the Galactic ${\rm H\,{\small I}}$ map from the Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS) as a template to trace the Galactic dust
