Description
Massive stars have significant effects on the ambient interstellar medium (ISM) via either strong UV radiation or powerful stellar winds. These winds also produce an important chemical pollution. Since WRs are the chemically evolved descendants of very massive stars, their winds are expected to be helium-rich and to show the effects of the CNO cycle. Here the authors examine the available theoretical predictions for the evaluation of the chemical enrichment due to massive stars in the light of the most recent abundance determinations for a sample of galactic WR nebulae and for a group of galactic OB stars. The importance of the chemical enrichment by massive stars in low metallicity starbursts, H II galaxies, is also discussed.

    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
