Description
High resolution, high S/N spectra obtained using RETICON and CCD detectors are used to determine the abundances of Al, Si, Ca, Ni and Fe in 23 disc stars in the metallicity range -1.2 ⪉ [Fe/H] ⪉ +0.3. The authors have found overabundances, with respect to iron for Al (≡0.4), Si (≡0.3), and Ca (≡0.2) in stars between -1.2 ⪉ [Fe/H] ⪉ -0.5. The results for Ca and Si (α-elements) are in excellent agreement with previous observational studies. The Al overabundances reported here show somewhat larger values close to [Fe/H] = -1.0 than those previously found in the literature. The abundance of Ni seems to follow that of Fe over the whole metallicity range studied.

    Magnetic diffusion in solar atmosphere produces measurable electric fields
    The efficient release of magnetic energy in astrophysical plasmas, such as during solar flares, can in principle be achieved through magnetic diffusion, at a rate determined by the associated electric field. However, attempts at measuring electric fields in the solar atmosphere are scarce, and none exist for sites where the magnetic energy is

    Echo-free quality factor of a multilayer axion haloscope
    We report a methodology to determine the quality factor ( Q) of wavy dark matter detectors equipped with multilayered resonators, including Fabry-Pérot interferometers and the so-called dielectric haloscope. An anechoic chamber enables the observation of the resonance frequency and its amplitude for an unlimited series of layers for the first time

    Perspectives on the physics of late-type stars from beyond low earth orbit, the moon and mars
    With the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations. The European Space Agency's Human and Robotic Exploration program provides an excellent opportunity to push forward the limits of our
