Descripción
We report on the results of optical follow-up observations of the counterpart of GRB970508 between 7 hours and 100 days after the event. Multi-colour U, B, V, Rc and Ic band observations were obtained during the first three consecutive nights. The Rc light curve rises to a maximum 1.8 days after the burst and after this declines with a power law decay, the exponent of which is α=-1.21+/-0.01. Superposed on this power law decay, we detect small amplitude (<0.5 magnitude) variations on timescales as short as half a day. The optical energy distribution can be well represented by a power law, the slope of which became steeper during the rise to maximum light and stayed constant afterwards.

    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
