Descripción
A team consisting of Japan, USA, Spain, and Norway is developing a high-throughput Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter (CLASP), which is proposed to fly with a NASA sounding rocket in 2014. CLASP will explore the magnetism of the upper solar chromosphere and transition region via the Hanle effect of the Lyα line for the first time. This experiment requires spectropolarimetric observations with high polarimetric sensitivity (˜0.1%) and wavelength resolution (0.1 Å). The final spatial resolution (slit width) is being discussed taking into account the required high signal-to-noise ratio. We have demonstrated the performance of the Lyα polarimeter by extensively using the Ultraviolet Synchrotron ORbital Radiation Facility (UVSOR) at the Institute for Molecular Sciences. In this contribution, we report these measurements at UVSOR together with the current status of the CLASP project.

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky
