The relation between nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and the growth of the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs), as well as their connection to the properties of the host galaxies, is crucial for understanding the evolution of galaxies. Recent observations have revealed that about 10% of nucleated galaxies host hybrid nuclei, consisting of both

It has long been known that the observed mass surface density of cored dark matter (DM) halos is approximately constant, independently of the galaxy mass (i.e., ρ c r c ≃ constant, with ρ c and r c being the central volume density and the radius of the core, respectively). Here, we review the evidence supporting this empirical fact as well as its

Complementary to high-energy experimental efforts, indirect astrophysical searches of particles beyond the standard model have long been pursued. The present article follows the latter approach and considers, for the first time, the self-consistent treatment of the energy losses from dark flavoured particles produced in the decay of hyperons during

Context. Since the mechanism of energy release from solar flares is still not fully understood, the study of fine-scale features developing during flares becomes important for progressing towards a consistent picture of the essential physical mechanisms. Aims. Solar flares release most of their luminous energy in the chromosphere. These luminous

We present a revised mass measurement for HD 119130 b (aka K2-292 b), a transiting planet (P = 17 days, R p = R ⊕) orbiting a chromospherically inactive G dwarf, previously thought to be one of the densest sub-Neptunes known. Our follow-up Doppler observations with HARPS, HARPS-N, and HIRES reveal that HD 119130 b is, in fact, nearly one-third as

We present a revised mass measurement for HD 119130 b (aka K2-292 b), a transiting planet (P = 17 days, R p = 2.63 ‑ 0.10 + 0.11 R ⊕) orbiting a chromospherically inactive G dwarf, previously thought to be one of the densest sub-Neptunes known. Our follow-up Doppler observations with HARPS, HARPS-N, and HIRES reveal that HD 119130 b is, in fact
