    SN 2014J at M82 - I. A middle-class Type Ia supernova by all spectroscopic metrics
    We present the intensive spectroscopic follow up of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2014J in the starburst galaxy M82. Twenty-seven optical spectra have been...

    SNhunt151: an explosive event inside a dense cocoon
    SNhunt151 was initially classified as a supernova (SN) impostor (nonterminal outburst of a massive star). It exhibited a slow increase in luminosity, lasting...

    SOFIA/FORCAST resolves 30-40 μm extended dust emission in nearby active galactic nuclei
    We present arcsecond-scale observations of the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) of seven nearby Seyfert galaxies observed from the Stratospheric Observatory For...

    Soft X-ray emission lines in the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer: disc atmosphere or wind?
    We find soft X-ray emission lines from the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 in data from XMM-NewtonReflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS): N VII, O VII, and O...

    Soft X-ray transient light curves as standard candles: exponential versus linear decays
    A recent paper by King & Ritter proposed that the light curves of soft X-ray transients (SXTs) are dominated by the effect of irradiation of the accretion disc...

    Solar FLAG hare and hounds: on the extraction of rotational p-mode splittings from seismic, Sun-as-a-star data
    We report on results from the first solar Fitting at Low-Angular degree Group (solar FLAG) hare-and-hounds exercise. The group is concerned with the development...

    Solar polarimetry through the K I lines at 770 nm
    We characterize the K I D1 & D2 lines in order to determine whether they could complement the 850 nm window, containing the Ca II infrared triplet lines and...

    Solar-like oscillations and ellipsoidal variations in TESS observations of the binary 12 Boötis
    Binary stars in which oscillations can be studied in either or both components can provide powerful constraints on our understanding of stellar physics. The...

    Solar-like oscillations from the depths of the red-giant star KIC 4351319 observed with Kepler
    We present the results of the asteroseismic analysis of the red-giant star KIC 4351319 (TYC 3124-914-1), observed for 30 d in short-cadence mode with the Kepler...
