  • Rapid-Response Characterization of Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 YR<SUB>4</SUB> During a Torino Scale 3 Alert
    On 27 December 2024, near-Earth object (NEO) 2024 $$\hbox {YR}_4$$ was discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a virtual impactor. A few weeks later, it eventually reached level 3 on the Torino Scale and was the first and only asteroid to be ever classified at that level. Here we report an intensive observational campaign combining time

  • QUIJOTE scientific results: XIX. New constraints on the synchrotron spectral index using a semi-blind component separation method
    We introduce a novel approach to estimate the spectral index, β s, of polarised synchrotron emission, combining the moment expansion of Cosmic Microwave Background foregrounds and the constrained Internal Linear Combination method. We reconstructed the maps of the first two synchrotron moments, combining multi-frequency data, and applied the 'T-T

  • Possibilities and limitations of thermal infrared detections of the Chelyabinsk progenitor and 2024 YR4 before Earth encounters
    We investigate the feasibility of detecting decameter-scale objects on day-side trajectories in infrared wavelengths from space, prior to their close encounters with Earth. Specifically, we examine a 20-m object on a Chelyabinsk-progenitor orbit (Jan/Feb 2013) and the 60-m potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 (Nov/Dec 2024 & 2032) during their

  • Optical spectral characterization of OP 313: Constraining the contribution of thermal and non-thermal optical emission
    Context. The flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) OP 313 was discovered in December 2023 in very-high-energy γ rays above 100 GeV, enabling for the first time a complete broadband characterization of its emission. However, the lack of updated measurements of its accretion disc, broad line region, and dusty torus hampers a detailed interpretation of

  • On the Origin of Coronal Picoflare Jets
    Small-scale jet-like eruptions, such as picoflare jets and jetlets, are recognized as potential contributors to coronal heating and solar wind acceleration, yet their physical origin is still not fully established. Using ultra-high-resolution extreme ultraviolet imaging datasets from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on board the Solar Orbiter mission

  • Near-degeneracy effects in quadrupolar mixed modes: From an asymptotic description to data fitting
    Dipolar (ℓ = 1) mixed modes have revealed a surprisingly weak differential rotation between the core and the envelope of evolved solar-like stars. Quadrupolar (ℓ = 2) mixed modes also contain information regarding internal dynamics but are very rarely characterised due to their low amplitude and the challenging identification of adjacent or
