Description
We present evidences of extended line-emission in the quadruple system Q2237+0305. Using 2D spectroscopy obtained with the fiber based system INTEGRAL in subarcsecond seeing conditions, we have derived intensity maps for the continuum and the emission in the CIII]lambda1909 line. The continuum maps show four distinct compact sources which agree in location with the point like sources found in the HST images. In addition to these four compact sources, the CIII]lambda1909 map also shows an arc of extended emission. The morphology of the arc is qualitatively consistent with models accounting for the compact sources. The observed arc can be interpreted as a gravitational lens image of an extended star forming region in the QSO host.

    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

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition

    First light and results for atmospheric characterization with The Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS)

    NIRPS is a new fiber-fed high spectral resolution (~80k) spectrograph assisted by adaptive optics installed on the 3.6m telescope of ESO at LaSilla, Chile. Operated simultaneously with HARPS, NIRPS covers the Y, J, and H bands. The commissioning phase demonstrated high stability for time-series observations along precise radial velocities reaching
