Reconciling concentration to virial mass relations
Context. The concentration-virial mass (c-M) relation is a fundamental scaling relation within the standard cold dark matter (ΛCDM) framework well established...
Reconnaissance ultracool spectra in the Euclid Deep Fields
Context. The Euclid spacecraft has been launched and will carry out a deep survey benefiting the discovery and characterisation of ultracool dwarfs (UCDs)...
Recovering chemical bimodalities in observed edge-on stellar disks: Insights from AURIGA simulations
The well-known bimodal distribution of Milky Way disk stars in the [α/Fe]–metallicity plane is often used to define thick and thin disks. In external edge-on...
Recovering star formation histories: Integrated-light analyses vs. stellar colour-magnitude diagrams
Context. Accurate star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies are fundamental for understanding the build-up of their stellar content. However, the most...
Recovery of the X-ray polarisation of Swift J1727.8−1613 after the soft-to-hard spectral transition
We report on the detection of X-ray polarisation in the black-hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8−1613 during its dim hard spectral state by the Imaging X-ray...
Red giant evolutionary status determination: The complete Kepler catalog
Context. Evolved cool stars have three distinct evolutionary status: shell-hydrogen burning (RGB), core-helium and shell-hydrogen burning (RC), and double-shell...
Red giants observed by CoRoT and APOGEE: The evolution of the Milky Way's radial metallicity gradient
Using combined asteroseismic and spectroscopic observations of 418 red-giant stars close to the Galactic disc plane (6 kpc RGal ≲ 13 kpc, | ZGal| 0.3 kpc), we...
Red supergiant stars in binary systems: II. Confirmation of B-type companions of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud using Hubble ultraviolet spectroscopy
Red supergiant (RSG) stars represent the final evolutionary phase of the majority of massive stars and hold a unique role in testing the physics of stellar...
