Aims. We search for brown dwarfs at the Class 0/I evolutionary stage, or proto brown dwarfs. Methods: We present a multi wavelength study, ranging from optical...
A puffy polar planet. The low density, hot Jupiter TOI-640 b is on a polar orbit
TOI-640 b is a hot, puffy Jupiter with a mass of 0.57 ± 0.02 M J and radius of 1.72 ± 0.05 R J, orbiting a slightly evolved F-type star with a separation of 6...
A pulse-timing model for pulsars in massive eclipsing binaries. Delays caused by high ratios between the pulsar period and orbital length.
We study the delay induced by gravitational light bending in the arrival times of signals emitted by an anisotropic source in rotation (pulsar). The shift of...
A qualitative interpretation of the second solar spectrum of Ce ll
This is a theoretical investigation on the formation of the linearly polarized line spectrum of ionized cerium in the sun. We calculate the scattering line...
A qualitative interpretation of the second solar spectrum of Ti I
The first theoretical investigation of the formation of the linearly polarized solar line spectrum of a complex atom, neutral titanium, is presented. The...
A quarter century of spectroscopic monitoring of the nearby M dwarf Gl 514. A super-Earth on an eccentric orbit moving in and out of the habitable zone
Context. Statistical analyses based on Kepler data show that most of the early-type M dwarfs host multi-planet systems consisting of Earth- to sub-Neptune-sized...
A quasar hiding behind two dusty absorbers. Quantifying the selection bias of metal-rich, damped Lyα absorption systems
The cosmic chemical enrichment as measured from damped Lyα absorbers (DLAs) will be underestimated if dusty and metal-rich absorbers have evaded identification...
A radio-jet-driven outflow in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110?
We present a spatially resolved study of the ionized gas in the central 2 kpc of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 and investigate the role of its moderate...
A refined analysis of the low-mass eclipsing binary system T-Cyg1-12664
Context. The observational mass-radius relation of main sequence stars with masses between 0.3 and 1.0 M⊙ reveals deviations between the stellar radii predicted...
