The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
Context. The response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to incident γ-ray-initiated showers in the atmosphere changes as the telescopes age due to...
The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12 b from its phase curve★
Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets, their atmospheres, and interiors at extreme...
The tidally disturbed luminous compact blue galaxy Mkn 1087 and its surroundings
We present new broad-band optical and near-infrared CCD imaging together with deep optical intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of Mkn 1087 and its surrounding...
The TOI-2427 system: Two close-in planets orbiting a late K-dwarf star
Using high-precision photometry, NASA's TESS space mission has discovered many intriguing transiting planet candidates. These discoveries require ground-based...
The trans-Neptunian object size distribution at small sizes
Aims: The aim of this work is to estimate the size distribution of small Trans-Neptunian objects. Methods: We simulate the irradiation and collisional processes...
The transfer of polarized radiation in resonance lines with partial frequency redistribution, J-state interference, and arbitrary magnetic fields. A radiative transfer code and useful approximations
Aims: We present the theoretical framework and numerical methods we have implemented to solve the problem of the generation and transfer of polarized radiation...
The transfer of resonance line polarization with partial frequency redistribution and J-state interference. Theoretical approach and numerical methods
The linear polarization signals produced by scattering processes in strong resonance lines are rich in information on the magnetic and thermal structure of the...
