Exploring the atmosphere of GJ 1132 b with CRIRES+
The rocky planet GJ 1132 b, with Earth-like mass and radius, is a prime candidate for atmospheric studies. Previous observations with Hubble and JWST yielded...
Fullerenes in the IC 348 star cluster of the Perseus molecular cloud
We present the detection of fullerenes C 60 and C 70 in the star-forming region IC 348 of the Perseus molecular cloud. Mid-IR vibrational transitions of C 60...
Galaxy transformation across the cosmic web: The influence zone of filaments
The Universe is not distributed uniformly. Galaxies are arranged in a gigantic cosmic web made of voids, filaments, and galaxy clusters. These filaments act as...
GalIMF–E-MILES library: Impact of an environment-dependent initial mass function on stellar population spectra
We present, for the first time, model spectra of single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations computed with the E-MILES evolutionary synthesis code...
Accretion disc winds are observed in accreting black holes across the full range of masses. In stellar-mass black holes, X-ray winds have been recently...
Hints of enhanced magnetic activity after the intermediate rotation period gap as traced by the chromospheric Ca II infrared triplet
New study reveals enhanced magnetic activity across the stellar atmosphere after the intermediate rotation-period gap Stars change as they age. Like our Sun...
Introducing AuriGLOBES: The effects of compressive tides, compact object-induced mass loss, and size evolution on modelling globular clusters
Globular clusters are dense, ancient groupings of stars that have survived the long history of galaxy formation and evolution, yet the exact processes that...
Is the Large Magellanic Cloud spiral arm a stable structure?
Some galaxies in the Universe display beautiful and appealing features known as "spiral arms". However, not all galaxies show spiral arms in the same manner...
JWST MIRI reveals the diversity of nuclear mid-infrared spectra of nearby type 2 quasars
Type 2 quasars (QSO2s) are active galactic nuclei (AGN) seen through a significant amount of dust and gas that obscures the central supermassive black hole and...
