Description
We present here 350 and 500 micron polarization observations of the Lupus I molecular cloud taken during the 2010 BLASTPol Antarctic flight. Lupus I is a nearby, isolated, young, and filamentary molecular cloud making it an ideal target to test magnetically regulated star formation models. In the presence of intermediate to strong magnetic fields (in comparison to turbulence), these models predict the formation of large filaments extended perpendicular to the local magnetic field direction as gas preferentially collapses along the field lines. We compare the BLASTPol polarization observations with previous optical polarimetry and find a uniform large-scale field direction from low to high density in Lupus I, consistent with magnetically regulated star formation models.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    Observational evidence of different formation mechanisms of Solar System-type architectures across spectral types

    Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the

    Measuring the Masses of the TOI-700 Planets with ESPRESSO

    Over the past three decades, astronomers have discovered that small, rocky planets in temperate orbits are common around our neighboring stars. Whether or not these planets can maintain atmospheres is an open question in the field. Recently, considerable attention in this search has been focused on M dwarfs stars, as their small sizes make it
