Description
The RXTE All-Sky monitor shows new detections of the black hole binary, XTE J1118+480, reported to be in optical outburst (ATEL #383). The source is first seen on 2005 January 9, with an average flux of 15(4) mCrab at 2-12 keV. The flux increases only slightly to 16(3) mCrab on Jan. 10, and to 19(3) mCrab on Jan. 11. The X-ray hardness ratios suggest that the source is in the hard state, as was the case for the entire outburst of 2000 January-July.

    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

    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

    Nodal Precession of a Hot Jupiter Transiting the Edge of a Late A-Type Star TOI-1518

    TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter b~0.9) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The host star's high rotation speed (Vsini s~85 km s -1) and the planet's nearly polar orbit (λ~120 deg) may cause a nodal
