Descripción
Evidence for the rapid internal rotation of the sun obtained from Doppler shift measurements of the Fraunhofer absorption lines is reported. An improved version of the Doppler shift optical resonance spectrometer was used to record the resonantly scattered intensities corresponding to the two wings of the 769.9-nm Fraunhofer absorption lines of neutral potassium on 28 continuous days in July and August 1980. A total of 33 lines was identified which were found to be split into components corresponding to the l = 1, l = 2 and l = 0 modes of the spherical harmonic. Superposed frequency spectra for each mode exhibit a width indicative of high-Q oscillations, with a mean value of 0.75 microHz. Comparison of this value with that anticipated for the case of uniform rotation (0.4 microHz) reveals that the core of the sun rotates two to nine times as rapidly as the surface.

    The variability patterns of the TeV blazar PG 1553 + 113 from a decade of MAGIC and multiband observations

    PG 1553 + 113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To better understand its properties and identify the underlying physical processes driving its variability, the MAGIC Collaboration initiated a multiyear, multiwavelength

    First characterization of the emission behavior of Mrk 421 from radio to very high-energy gamma rays with simultaneous X-ray polarization measurements

    Aims: We have performed the first broadband study of Mrk 421 from radio to TeV gamma rays with simultaneous measurements of the X-ray polarization from IXPE. Methods: The data were collected as part of an extensive multiwavelength campaign carried out between May and June 2022 using MAGIC, Fermi-LAT, NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, Swift, and several optical

    Effects of density and temperature variations on the metallicity of Mrk 71

    In a very recent work, [1] claim that the scenario of temperature inhomogeneities proposed by [2] ($t2$ > 0) is not able to explain the O$^{2+}$/H$^{+}$ abundance discrepancy observed between the calculations based on the optical [OIII] collisional excited lines (CELs) and the OII recombination lines (RLs) in the star forming galaxy Mrk71. In this
