Description
Spectroscopy and mapping of the type I postmain-sequence source CRL 618, taken with the 45-m antenna of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory and the 12-m NRAO facility at Kitty Peak, are presented. It is shown that the exterior constant velocity envelope has a typical aspect ratio of about 0.8, extends over a range not less than 70 arcsec, and has an FWHM close to about 50 arcsec. Spatial-velocity maps through the nucleus reveal appreciable asymmetries in right ascension, with emission peaking towards about V(lsr) of -25 km/s for easterly offset locations, and about -15 km/s towards the west. These characteristics may arise from a mix of transverse expansion in the bipolar lobes, radial expansion within the outflow cavities, and shock deceleration of the interior H I/H II wind.

    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
