Description
Results of high-resolution optical spectroscopy of V404 Cyg (the optical counterpart of the X-ray transient GS2023 + 338), conducted 13 months after the May 1989 outburst are presented. The double-peaked H-alpha line exhibits a strong S-wave modulation from which a periodicity of 5.7 hr is deduced. The level of the continuum is also modulated on the same time-scale. This behavior is identified with the orbital period of the system. There are also changes in the FWHM and peak separation, which evolves from widening to subsequent shrinking. Such variations suggest a very complex line profile consisting perphaps of several different components.

    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
