Aims: EX Lupi is the prototype of EXors, a subclass of low-mass pre-main sequence stars whose episodic eruptions are attributed to temporarily increased...
Examining the orbital decay targets KELT-9 b, KELT-16 b, and WASP-4b, and the transit-timing variations of HD 97658 b
Context. Tidal orbital decay is suspected to occur for hot Jupiters in particular, with the only observationally confirmed case of this being WASP-12b. By...
Excitation mechanisms of C II optical permitted lines in ionized nebulae
Context. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe and its distribution is critical to understanding stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis. In...
Exoplanet hosts reveal lithium depletion. Results from a homogeneous statistical analysis
Aims: We study the impact of the presence of planets on the lithium abundance of host stars and evaluate the previous claim that planet hosts exhibit lithium...
Expanding on the fundamental metallicity relation in dwarf galaxies with MUSE
The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) represents one of the most important scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution, comprising a positive correlation...
We study the presence of low intensity high velocity components, which we have termed wing features in the integrated Hα emission line profiles of the H II...
Explanation of the activity sensitivity of Mn I 5394.7 Å
There is a long-standing debate why the Mn i 5394.7 Å line in the solar irradiance spectrum brightens more at higher activity than other photospheric lines. The...
Exploration of long-period oscillations in an Hα prominence
Context. In previous work, we studied a prominence which appeared like a tornado in a movie made from 193 Å filtergrams obtained with the Atmospheric Imaging...
Exploring circumstellar effects on the lithium and calcium abundances in massive Galactic O-rich AGB stars
Context. We previously explored the circumstellar effects on Rb and Zr abundances in a sample (21) of massive Galactic O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB)...
