Descripción
An analysis of IRAS data for a sample of classical (optically selected) Seyfert galaxies is presented. The IRAS fluxes at 25, 60, and 100 μm are found to be uncorrelated or only very weakly correlated with the ultraviolet-optical continuum flux and the fluxes at 3.5 and 10 μm. This provides further evidence that the active nucleus is not the principal source of far-infrared emission. The IRAS measurements for the Seyfert galaxies are compared to IRAS observations of a sample of normal spirals and to a sample of H II region (starburst) galaxies. The distribution of far-IR luminosities and of 60 - 100 μm colors for the Seyfert galaxies and the starburst galaxies are indistinguishable. This indicates that star formation produces the bulk of the far-IR emission in Seyfert galaxies.

    Apparent correlation between extrinsic and intrinsic flux variations in the first gravitationally lensed quasar
    To better understand which sources contribute to optical passband fluxes of Q0957+561, we present and analyse light curves of the doubly imaged gravitationally lensed quasar from its discovery to 2023. After an early microlensing event, the difference light curves (describing delay-corrected flux ratios between the two quasar images) only show

    Identification of the Top TESS Objects of Interest for Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets with JWST
    JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5000 confirmed planets, more than 4000 Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) planet candidates are still unconfirmed and many of the best planets for atmospheric characterization may remain to be identified. We present a sample

    High-resolution Spectroscopic Reconnaissance of a Temperate Sub-Neptune
    The study of temperate sub-Neptunes is the new frontier in exoplanetary science. A major development in the past year has been the first detection of carbon-bearing molecules in the atmosphere of a temperate sub-Neptune, K2-18 b, a possible Hycean world, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The JWST is poised to characterize the atmospheres
