Aims. Observations and simulations of coronal rain show that as cold and dense plasma falls through the corona, it initially undergoes acceleration by gravity before the downward velocity saturates. Simulations have shown the emergence of an unexpected relation between the terminal velocity of the rain and density ratio that has not been explained

We report the discovery of a transiting brown dwarf orbiting a low-mass star, TOI-6508 b. Today, only ∼50 transiting brown dwarfs have been discovered. TOI-6508 b was first detected with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in Sectors 10, 37 and 63. Ground-based follow-up photometric data were collected with the SPECULOOS

We investigated by means of Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer/Very Large Telescope (MUSE/VLT) observations the true size of the coronal line region (CLR) in a local sample of nine active galactic nuclei (AGNs) known for displaying prominent coronal emission. Our analysis show that the CLR is extended from several hundred parsecs to a few

Aims. We present an analysis of the emitters (Hα, Hβ, and [O II]) from the OTELO survey, in order to characterize the star formation properties of low-mass galaxies (< 10 9 M ⊙ stellar masses). Methods. We calculated the specific star formation rate function, the stellar mass function, and, by integrating them, the associated densities for both

The SiTian project, designed to utilize 60 telescopes distributed across multiple sites in China, is a next-generation time-domain survey initiative. As a pathfinder for the SiTian project, the Mini-SiTian (MST) has been proposed and implemented to test the SiTian's brain and data pipeline, and to evaluate the feasibility of its technology and

We acquired 450 and 850 μm dust continuum polarization observations toward the inner region of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) as part of the B-Fields In Star-forming Region Observations survey using the POL-2 polarimeter on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. These observations encompassed three dense structures: the 20 km s ‑1 cloud (20MC), 50 km
