Description
Decisive evidence is presented against the validity of the conventional linear decay law for sunspots. Preliminary results from a statistical analysis of Debrecen Photoheliographic Results data show that the decay rate of sunspots is significantly slower in late phases of the decay than in earlier phases. Our findings are compatible with the predictions of a recently developed turbulent erosion model for sunspot decay.

    A comprehensive empirical investigation of Galactic fast-rotating O-type stars
    Rotation is one of the important parameters affecting the evolution and final fate of massive stars but the origin of fast rotators remains unclear (imprint of the star formation process, result of binary interactions). In this work, we aim at investigating the binary status, photometric variability, and runaway status of a statistically meaningful
