We examine the hypothesis that multipolar magnetic fields advected by photospheric granules can contribute to heating the active chromosphere and corona. On 2020 September 28 the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) and HiFI+ instruments at the GREGOR telescope obtained data of NOAA 12773. We analyze Stokes profiles of spectral lines of Si I and He

In recent years, the topic of existence and exploration of exocomets has been gaining increasing attention. The asymmetrical decrease in the star's brightness due to the passage of a comet-like object in front of the star was successfully predicted. It was subsequently confirmed on the basis of the light curves of stars observed by Kepler and TESS

Context. Planetary nebulae (PNe) have three main components: a central star (CS), ionized gas, and dust in the nebula. Each contains critical chemical fingerprints of the PN's evolution, which serve as tracers of the evolution, nucleosynthesis, and dust production that occurred during the preceding asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. Aims: We aim

We have determined the proper motions (PMs) of 12 dwarf galaxies in the Local Group (LG), ranging from the outer Milky Way (MW) halo to the edge of the LG. We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as the first and Gaia as the second epoch using the GaiaHub software. For Leo A and Sag DIG, we also used multi-epoch HST measurements relative to

We present the first measurement of the Lyα forest baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) shift parameter from cosmological simulations. In particular, we generate a suite of 1000 accurate effective field-level bias-based Lyα forest simulations of volume at z = 2, both in real and redshift space, calibrated upon two fixed-and-paired cosmological

We obtain a quantitative star formation history (SFH) of a shell-like structure ('shell') located in the northeastern part of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We use the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History to derive colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), reaching below the oldest main-sequence turnoff, from which we compute the SFHs with CMD
