  • Archaeoastronomy and Conflict: On the Orientation of Prehistoric Funerary Monuments in Western Sahara
    A variety of Prehistoric dry-stone monuments are ubiquitous in Western Sahara, a region delimited by the boundaries of the former Spanish colony. With either burial or ritual functions, these monuments are spread throughout the Sahara Desert creating sacred landscapes and housing the memory of millennia of occupation. Previous research has explored

  • An almost dark galaxy with the mass of the Small Magellanic Cloud
    Almost dark galaxies are objects that have eluded detection by traditional surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The low surface brightness of these galaxies (μ r(0) > 26 mag arcsec −2), and hence their low surface stellar mass density (a few solar masses per pc 2 or less), suggest that the energy density released by baryonic

  • Correcting Exoplanet Transmission Spectra for Stellar Activity with an Optimized Retrieval Framework
    The chromatic contamination that arises from photospheric heterogeneities, e.g., spots and faculae on the host star presents a significant noise source for exoplanet transmission spectra. If this contamination is not corrected for, it can introduce substantial bias in our analysis of the planetary atmosphere. We utilize two stellar models of

  • Evaluation of a Magnetic Field Inversion Method Using Only Stokes I
    We compare a method for inferring the photospheric vector magnetic field using only spectroscopy to a conventional method based on polarimetry. The magnetic field strength B and inclination angle can be inferred from the Zeeman splitting using only Stokes I. We applied this method to a sunspot observed with the Vacuum Tower Telescope and compared

  • GRB 230911A: The First Discovery of a Fermi GRB Optical Counterpart with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    We report on the detection of candidate optical counterpart GOTO23akf/AT2023shv to the GRB 230911A with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) instruments located at La Palma, Canary Islands, and Siding Spring Observatory, Australia.

  • Bar properties as a function of wavelength: a local baseline with S<SUP>4</SUP>G for high-redshift studies
    The redshift evolution of bars is an important signpost of the dynamic maturity of disc galaxies. To characterize the intrinsic evolution safe from band-shifting effects, it is necessary to gauge how bar properties vary locally as a function of wavelength. We investigate bar properties in 16 nearby galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar
