Context. Light bridges (LBs) are elongated structures with enhanced intensity embedded in sunspot umbra and pores. Aims: We studied the properties of a sample of 60 LBs observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). Methods: Using IRIS near- and far-ultraviolet spectra, we measured the line intensity, width, and Doppler shift

Context. The CARMENES survey is a high-precision radial velocity (RV) programme that aims to detect Earth-like planets orbiting low-mass stars. Aims: We develop least-squares fitting algorithms to derive the RVs and additional spectral diagnostics implemented in the SpEctrum Radial Velocity AnaLyser (SERVAL), a publicly available python code

A search for supersymmetry is presented based on proton-proton collision events containing identified hadronically decaying top quarks, no leptons, and an imbalance pTmiss in transverse momentum. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb

Searches for resonant and nonresonant pair-produced Higgs bosons (HH) decaying respectively into ℓνℓν, through either W or Z bosons, and b\overline{b} are presented. The analyses are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at √{s}=13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. Data

A search for narrow vector resonances decaying into quark-antiquark pairs is presented. The analysis is based on data collected in proton-proton collisions at √{s}=13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. The hypothetical resonance is produced with sufficiently high transverse momentum that

Solar spectro-polarimetry is a powerful tool to investigate the physical processes occurring in the solar atmosphere. The different states of polarization and wavelengths have in fact encoded the information about the thermodynamic state of the solar plasma and the interacting magnetic field. In particular, the radiative transfer theory allows us
