Description
The bipolar outflow region S 106 is studied with optical spectroscopy and IR mapping techniques. The physical conditions in the ionized region, the density, temperature, ionic and total abundances of the primary atomic species, and the extinction trends and kinematic profiles, are analyzed. A model for the source is proposed in which primary emission is confined to the outer limits of an outflow cavity orientated at an angle of 110 deg to the line of sight. The outflow velocities in the model are shown to be consistent with shock excitation of the lower excitation line species. The IR mapping at J, H, K, L, and M is used to analyze the source NIR energetics and to study trends in surface brightness and color index.

    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
