  • Paisaje, camino y liturgia en el mito del héroe de Iltiraka
    En este trabajo se reinterpreta el heroon de El Pajarillo, en el marco del mito de la katabasis o viaje del héroe al inframundo. Para esta lectura se han realizado estudios arqueoastronómicos y se ha integrado el heroon en un camino de pagus, que sigue las aguas del río Jandulilla. En este nuevo territorio se ha añadido un nuevo hito arqueológico

  • V Sge: supersoft source or exotic hot binary? – I. An X-Shooter campaign in the high state
    V Sge is a peculiar, highly luminous long-period (12.34 h) binary star that can display a supersoft X-ray emitting component when in the faint phase of its $V \approx 10-13$ mag variability range. Apparently undergoing Eddington-limited accretion from its more massive secondary, it is in a very rare, short-lived evolutionary phase towards the

  • Mapping the Milky Way with Gaia BP/RP Spectra. III. The First Medium-resolution Follow-up Spectroscopy of Metal-poor Stars<SUP></SUP>
    The Gaia BP/RP spectra provide an excellent opportunity to search for extremely metal-poor (EMP; [M/H] ≤ –3.0) stars. In this study, we assess the potential of our Gaia BP/RP-based candidate catalog, vetting newly identified EMP candidates with higher-resolution follow-up observations. The candidates are selected based on the metallicity derived

  • FROST-CLUSTERS – II. Massive stars, binaries, and triples boost supermassive black hole seed formation in assembling star clusters
    Observations and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations indicate that massive star clusters form through a complex hierarchical assembly. We use simulations including post-Newtonian dynamics (the BIFROST code) and stellar evolution (the SEVN module) to investigate this collisional assembly. With a full initial stellar mass function, we study

  • Connecting laboratory and spectroscopic observations of aerospace materials to characterize the reflectivity of artificial space objects and debris in LEO regimes
    Increasing space activities, especially in low-Earth orbits (LEO), lead to more orbital debris and night-sky pollution. Spectroscopic analysis of light reflected from artificial space objects can aid to identify dominant surface materials and their reflective properties. Satellites interact with sunlight in diffuse and specular reflections, which

  • BOWIE-ALIGN: weak spectral features in KELT-7b's JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectrum imply a high cloud deck or a low-metallicity atmosphere
    Hot Jupiters and their atmospheres are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy due to their extended atmospheres and the corresponding large signal-to-noise, providing the best possible constraints for the atmospheric carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio and metallicity of exoplanets. Within BOWIE-ALIGN, we aim to compare JWST spectra of a sample of
