Description
Emission lines in the spectra of WC9 stars have been studied. It is shown that there are clear differences between the spectra of BD + 30 3639 and the central star of He2-99. It is argued that there are no systematic spectral differences between the WC9 CSPN and the Pop.I WC9 stars: both kinds of WC9 stars show a substantial and overlapping range of emission line strengths and widths. It is suggested that the current concept (that the spectra of WC9 CSPN are systematically different from the spectra of Pop.I WC9 stars because they are an order of magnitude less massive) be replaced by a more plausible concept that attributes the spectral differences to the different importance of radiation pressure in the formation of the stellar spectrum.

    Revisiting the warm sub-Saturn TOI-1710b. The impact of stellar activity on the mass measurement

    The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) provides a continuous suite of new planet candidates that need confirmation and precise mass determination from ground-based observatories. This is the case for the G-type star TOI-1710, which is known to host a transiting sub-Saturn planet (M p = 28.3 ± 4.7 M ⊕) in a long-period orbit (P = 24.28

    The miniJPAS survey: Maximising the photo-z accuracy from multi-survey datasets with probability conflation

    We present a new method for obtaining photometric redshifts (photo-z) for sources observed by multiple photometric surveys using a combination (conflation) of the redshift probability distributions (PDZs) obtained independently from each survey. The conflation of the PDZs has several advantages over the usual method of modelling all the photometry

    NGTS-28Ab: a short period transiting brown dwarf

    We report the discovery of a brown dwarf orbiting a M1 host star. We first identified the brown dwarf within the Next Generation Transit Survey data, with supporting observations found in TESS sectors 11 and 38. We confirmed the discovery with follow-up photometry from the South African Astronomical Observatory, SPECULOOS-S, and TRAPPIST-S, and
