We present the confirmation of a hot super-Neptune with an exterior Neptune companion orbiting a bright (V = 10.1 mag) F-dwarf identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The two planets, observed in sectors 45, 46, and 48 of the TESS extended mission, are $4.74_{-0.14}^{+0.16}$ and $3.86_{-0.16}^{+0.17}$ R ⊕ with $5.4588385_{-0

AM CVn-type systems are ultracompact, helium-accreting binary systems that are evolutionarily linked to the progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae and are expected to be strong Galactic sources of gravitational waves detectable to upcoming space-based interferometers. AM CVn binaries with orbital periods ≲20-23 min exist in a constant high state

This is the fourth paper of our new release of the BaSTI (a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones) stellar model and isochrone library. Following the updated solar-scaled, α-enhanced, and white dwarf model libraries, we present here α-depleted ([α/Fe] = -0.2) evolutionary tracks and isochrones, suitable to study the α-depleted stars discovered in

We show that the rotation curves of 16 nearby disc galaxies in the THINGS sample and the Milky Way can be described by the Navarro-Frenk-White halo model and by the Bosma effect at approximately the same level of accuracy. The latter effect suggests that the behaviour of the rotation curve at large radii is determined by the rescaled gas component

In order to investigate the potential Hubble tension, we compile a catalogue of 216 measurements of the Hubble-Lemaître constant H 0 between 2012 and 2022, which includes 109 model-independent measurements and 107 ΛCDM model-based measurements. Statistical analyses of these measurements show that the deviations of the results with respect to the

We use JWST/MIRI MRS spectroscopy of a sample of six local obscured type 1.9/2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) to compare their nuclear mid-IR absorption bands with the level of nuclear obscuration traced by X-rays. This study is the first to use subarcsecond angular resolution data of local obscured AGN to investigate the nuclear mid-IR absorption
