Description
We study the photoionization of the Extended Narrow Line Region (ENLR) using three anisotropic radiation fields: (1) a geometrically thick accretion disk; (2) a large (at 1 pc to the nucleus) obscuring torus; (3) a blazar beam produced by a relativistic jet. The variation of the intensity of several emission lines with the inclination angle with respect to the symmetry axis is calculated in these cases. We find differences in the angular variation of the intensity and intensity ratios of certain lines for the considered models.

    Massive characterisation of subgiants and red giants with TESS (Kepler and Gaia)
    TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge. The advent of multiple sectors of data for most stars every two years with the extended

    Signature of the spin-down stalling in the stellar magnetic activity
    Once main-sequence (MS) solar-like stars transitioned from the saturated to the unsaturated regime in magnetic activity, their evolution was perceived as monotonic, with rotation rate and activity gradually decaying. However, Kepler revolutionized this perspective, showing that the unsaturated regime splits into different regimes. One transition

    Spectroscopy and asteroseismic modelling of the red giant binary system KIC 10841730
    Stellar modelling is crucial for understanding the structure and age of stars. The accuracy of a stellar model is limited by the constraints from observations and the theory behind the physical processes. Gravitationally bound stars of a binary system provide an excellent opportunity for a combined study, which provides strong constraints on the
