Earth-sized planets transiting M dwarf stars present one of the best opportunities with current facilities for studying the atmospheric and bulk compositions of terrestrial worlds. Here, we statistically validate five new transiting Earth and super-Earth sized planets orbiting M dwarf stars using a combination of light curves from the Transiting

Detection and characterization of small-scale energetic events such as nanoflares and nanojets remain challenging owing to their short lifetimes, small spatial extent, and relatively low energy release, despite their potential role in coronal heating. Recent observations have identified nanojets as small-scale (length ≲6.6 Mm, width ≲1 Mm), fast (∼

The stochastic nature of galaxy growth within the $\Lambda$CDM framework favors the formation of dynamically hot structures in the inner regions of galaxies, such as classical bulges. These structures may arise from early chaotic collapse or dynamical heating through galaxy-galaxy mergers. In this context, the existence of massive ($>10^{10}M_{

This Letter presents an analysis of the infrared (∼3─28 μm) spectra extracted from the nuclear (r < 150 pc) regions of four low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN), observed by JWST NIRSpec/integral field unit and MIRI/Medium Resolution Spectroscopy as an extension of the Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey. We find that, compared to

We use microlensing to probe the inner broad line region (BLR) of the lensed quasar SDSS J1004+4112, finding evidence of substructure. We study the recurrent microlensing events observed in the blue wing of the C IV emission line in image A of this lensed quasar from a series of 20 spectra taken over 15 yr. We obtain a microlensing light curve and

Our comprehension of the history of star formation at z > 3 strongly relies on rest-frame ultraviolet observations. However, this selection systematically misses the dustiest and most massive sources, resulting in an incomplete census at earlier times. Infrared facilities such as Spitzer and the James Webb Space Telescope have shed light on a
