Description
The black hole binary V404 Cyg has provided a primary test bed for models of accretion in quiescent black hole binaries because it is by far the brightest in the X-ray band. Most published work, however, has been based on non-simultaneous data spanning many years since its major outburst in 1989. We present the most complete spectral energy distribution of the source, primarily based on a coordinated and simultaneous multiwavelength campaign in 2003, but drawing in other available data. We will discuss the components detected in the binary in the context of models of the quiescent state, and crucially exploit time resolved data to discuss connections between them. This work was supported by awards from the Chandra and XMM-Newton GO programs.

    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

    Observational evidence of different formation mechanisms of Solar System-type architectures across spectral types

    Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the

    Measuring the Masses of the TOI-700 Planets with ESPRESSO

    Over the past three decades, astronomers have discovered that small, rocky planets in temperate orbits are common around our neighboring stars. Whether or not these planets can maintain atmospheres is an open question in the field. Recently, considerable attention in this search has been focused on M dwarfs stars, as their small sizes make it
