Descripción
We have found a large amount of 6Li in the atmosphere of the star HD 82943 which harbors two planets. From the amount of lithium in the star's atmosphere, we infer that there was a third planet (or several planets) that died in the hot interior of the star. The star could have swallowed a planet with a mass of about 2 Jupiters or 3 Earths. Based on our original publication (Israelian et al., 2001), here we introduce the several features and background motivation of this study to the general readers in Japan.

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of

    HARMONI at ELT: project status and instrument overview
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 450 nm to 2450 nm with resolving powers from 3500 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The
