Description
The rise of kink-unstable magnetic flux tubes through the solar convection zone is discussed with a view to explaining the subsurface origin of active regions. In spite of the advances and insights obtained by analytical and numerical means in the past decade(s), there are still important uncertainties as to the viability of a mechanism of this kind to explain the origin of sunspots and active regions. In this paper, the main features of the rise of kink unstable tubes and some open questions regarding this process are presented.

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
