Descripción
Observations of the 1400-1800 A region in late A type stars are presented, which were obtained using the IUE satellite at low and high resolution. The calibrated energy distribution is derived and presents a large variation with wavelength in the spectral range due to Si I photoionization discontinuities. Emission lines formed in the transition region do not appear, although upper limits on the emission in these lines are established. A schematic model is proposed for the outer layers in A type stars, which suggests that the chromosphere in solar type stars is likely absent in A stars, while the NLTE photosphere could be immediately connected to the transition region, joining the upper photosphere to the corona. In addition, the amount of matter in the transition zone is found to be small.

    A Perspective on the Milky Way Bulge Bar as Seen from the Neutron-capture Elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE

    This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of ∼2000 stars in the Galactic bulge bar spatially contained within ∣X Gal∣ < 5 kpc, ∣Y Gal∣ < 3.5 kpc, and ∣Z Gal∣ < 1 kpc, and spanning metallicities between ‑2.0 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ +0.5. We classify the

    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

    A Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray View of the Transient Sky

    The development of the latest generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) over recent decades has led to the discovery of new extreme astrophysical phenomena in the very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray regime. Time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy are inevitably connected to the physics of transient VHE emitters
