Descripción
On June 11th, 2010, RXTE/PCA galactic bulge scan observations showed an increase in activity from the globular cluster NGC 6440. Two accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs) and 22 other X-ray binaries are known in NGC 6440 (see Pooley et al. 2002, ApJ 573, 184, Altarmirano et al. 2010, ApJL 712, 58, Altamirano et al. 2008, ApJL 674, 45 and Gavriil et al. 2007, ApJ 669, 22). On June 12th, 2010 (10h 13m 00s UT), a ~10 ks long pointed RXTE observation was performed.

    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

    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

    Observational evidence of different formation mechanisms of Solar System-type architectures across spectral types

    Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the
