Descripción
A method to explore the column density of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) using absorptions in the resonance H and K lines of Mg II. The intrinsic strengths of these lines in the temperature and density conditions prevailing in warm clouds in the LISM allows them to be used to explore many lines of sight where lines such a NaD and Ca II H and K are too weak, but where L-alpha is saturated. The number of measurable lines-of-sight is greatly enhanced by using cool stars as the background emitters, but this implies reliable separation of the LISM components from stellar chromospheric self-absorptions. A combination of column density and radial velocity data is used to measure the spatial extent and the physical parameters of the single cloud in which the sun is embedded. This proves to be an oblate spheroid.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition

    Nodal Precession of a Hot Jupiter Transiting the Edge of a Late A-Type Star TOI-1518

    TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter b~0.9) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The host star's high rotation speed (Vsini s~85 km s -1) and the planet's nearly polar orbit (λ~120 deg) may cause a nodal
