Description
The way in which the evaluation of any moment of the mass distribution, as given by the Zeldovich (1970) approximation, may be reduced to the computation of an integral is shown. A method for obtaining a two-point correlation function from the product of the density fluctuation and the Lagrangian coordinate is presented. Local approximations that, unlike the Zeldovich one, allow for the nonlinear evolution an ellipsoid's axes are considered. It is inferred that the use of nonlinear local approximations could lead to a substantial improvement with respect to the Zeldovich one in the prediction of those features of the mass distribution related to regions with high density contrast, e.g., cluster densities.

    Identification of the Top TESS Objects of Interest for Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets with JWST
    JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5000 confirmed planets, more than 4000 Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) planet candidates are still unconfirmed and many of the best planets for atmospheric characterization may remain to be identified. We present a sample

    High-resolution Spectroscopic Reconnaissance of a Temperate Sub-Neptune
    The study of temperate sub-Neptunes is the new frontier in exoplanetary science. A major development in the past year has been the first detection of carbon-bearing molecules in the atmosphere of a temperate sub-Neptune, K2-18 b, a possible Hycean world, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The JWST is poised to characterize the atmospheres

    Nonlinear Wave Damping by Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability-induced Turbulence
    Magnetohydrodynamic kink waves naturally form as a consequence of perturbations to a structured medium, for example, transverse oscillations of coronal loops. Linear theory has provided many insights into the evolution of linear oscillations, and results from these models are often applied to infer information about the solar corona from observed
