Context. Magnetic flux emergence from the solar interior has been shown to be a key mechanism for unleashing a wide variety of phenomena. However, there are still open questions concerning the rise of the magnetized plasma through the atmosphere, mainly in the chromosphere, where the plasma departs from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and is

Aims: NGC 6240 is a well-studied nearby galaxy system in the process of merging. Based on optical, X-ray, and radio observations, it is thought to harbor two active nuclei. We carried out a detailed optical 3D spectroscopic study to investigate the inner region of this system in connection with existing MERLIN and VLBA data. Methods: We observed

PHOEBE ( phoebe-project.org) is a sophisticated code for modeling eclipsing binary observables. PHOEBE 2.0 (Prsa et al, 2016) introduced increased precision, triangulated meshing, light travel time effects, Doppler boosting, improved atmospheric and passband treatments, and a Python frontend interface. PHOEBE 2.1 (Horvat et al, 2018) added support

The PRIMitive Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (PRIMASS) aims to characterize primitive asteroids throughout the asteroid belt in the visible and near-infrared (NIR). There are eight primitive families in the inner main belt: Polana-Eulalia, Erigone, Sulamitis, Clarissa, Chaldaea, Klio, Svea and Chimaera. PRIMASS has already characterized all 8

Context. We report the discovery of TOI 263.01 (TIC 120916706), a transiting substellar object (R = 0.87 R Jup) orbiting a faint M3.5 V dwarf (V = 18.97) on a 0.56 d orbit. Aims: We setout to determine the nature of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) planet candidate TOI 263.01 using ground-based multicolour transit photometry. The

Using 3D positions and kinematics of stars relative to the Sagittarius (Sgr) orbital plane and angular momentum, we identify 166 Sgr stream members observed by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) that also have Gaia DR2 astrometry. This sample of 63/103 stars in the Sgr trailing/leading arm is combined with an APOGEE
