Description
Spatial resolved low resolution spectroscopy of the haloes around the planetary nebulae NGC 6543 and NGC 6826 were conducted. The results imply that the radiation is thermal and not due to dust reflection. From those data chemical abundances and masses were calculated. Chemical abundances decrease in the haloes, while masses increase up to ten times in NGC 6543 reaching a value of 1 solar mass. The mass loss required to form these haloes coincides with that expected at the beginning of the evolution off the AGB.

    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
