Description
Results are reported from a CO (J = 2-1) survey of nine type I nebulae using the 12-m NRAO antenna at KPNO; the data are presented in tables, graphs, and contour maps and briefly characterized. Three of the nebulae are found to have significant CO emission, with evidence of (1) dissociated molecular envelopes, (2) complete ionization of the gas by the central-star radiation field, and (3) extremely heterogeneous and clumped neutral zones. The quenching of the observed CO temperatures is tentatively attributed to the large H I velocity gradients (in excess of 100 km/sec pc) typical of such sources, and it is inferred that further observations at higher sensitivity could produce many more detections.

    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

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition

    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
