Description
We report on optical photometry and spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057 (Krimm at al. ATel #4139, Usui et al. ATel #4140). R-band photometry (time resolution 27s) over an interval of 3.1 hr was obtained using ALFOSC on the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on the night of 21 July 2012. The light curve is dominated by flickering superimposed on a smooth, approximately sinusoidal variability of amplitude ~0.02 mags and ~4 hr time scale.

Binary Stars

The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is fundamental to understand stellar and galactic evolution. Particularly relevant is that binary systems are still the best source of precise stellar mass and radius measurements. Research lines

    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

    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

    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
