  • Jupiter as an Exoplanet: UV to NIR Transmission Spectrum Reveals Hazes, a Na Layer, and Possibly Stratospheric H2O-ice Clouds
    Currently, the analysis of transmission spectra is the most successful technique to probe the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. However, the accuracy of these measurements is constrained by observational limitations and the diversity of possible atmospheric compositions. Here, we show the UV–VIS–IR transmission spectrum of Jupiter as

  • Joint Analysis of BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck Data
    We report the results of a joint analysis of data from BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck. BICEP2 and Keck Array have observed the same approximately 400 deg2 patch of sky centered on RA 0 h, Dec. -57.5 ° . The combined maps reach a depth of 57 nK deg in Stokes Q and U in a band centered at 150 GHz. Planck has observed the full sky in polarization at

  • Galactic rings and secular evolution in barred galaxies
    Rings are common in galaxies. Several kinds of rings are known: collisional, polar, and resonance rings, of which the latter is by far most common. Resonance rings are prime tracers of the underlying dynamical structure of disk galaxies, in particular of orbital resonances and of manifolds. Rings are also indicators of angular momentum transport

  • Further evidence for a time-dependent initial mass function in massive early-type galaxies
    Spectroscopic analyses of gravity-sensitive line strengths give growing evidence towards an excess of low-mass stars in massive early-type galaxies (ETGs). Such a scenario requires a bottom-heavy initial mass function (IMF). However, strong constraints can be imposed if we take into account galactic chemical enrichment. We extend the analysis of

  • Frontier Fields: Combining HST, VLT, and Spitzer data to explore the z ~ 8 Universe behind the lensing cluster MACSJ0416.1-2403
    Context. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Frontier Fields (HFFs) project started at the end of 2013 with the aim of providing extremely deep images of six massive galaxy clusters. One of the main goals of this program is to push several telescopes to their limits to provide the best current view of the earliest stages of the Universe. The analysis

  • Evidence of coupling between the thermal and nonthermal emission in the gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303
    The gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303 is composed of a Be star and a compact companion orbiting in an eccentric orbit. Variable flux modulated with the orbital period of ~26.5 d has been detected from radio to very high-energy gamma rays. In addition, the system presents a superorbital variability of the phase and amplitude of the radio outbursts with
