Constellation-X-ray Mission: Science and Prospects
The Constellation-X mission is a high through-put X-ray facility, emphasizing observations at high spectral resolution (Delta E/E 300 to 3000) while covering a...
Constraining atmospheric evaporation timescales on young planets with systematic H and He transmission observations
During the early stages of planetary formation, planets undergo strong changes in their physical and orbital properties due to internal and external forces...
Constraining Galaxy Evolution with Scaling Relations
An ongoing study is presented in which a photometric non-linear Scaling Relation of Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) is proposed to carry out a consistency test on...
Constraining in-situ vs. ex-situ stellar mass in nearby galaxies with simulation-based inference
Understanding the complexities of galaxy evolution and the role of mergers therein remains a fundamental challenge in astrophysics. Since galaxies can only be...
Constraining stellar and orbital co-evolution through ensemble seismology of solar-like oscillators in binary systems
The evolution of stars and their hosting binary systems is a highly interactive process and cannot be investigated in a segregated manner. Due to the...
Constraining the core-rotation rate along the red-giant evolution
The evolution of the core rotation rate of red giant stars is a key parameter in understanding the stellar behavior in the late phases of stellar evolution...
Constraining the dark matter distribution in the centre of early-type barred galaxies
The dynamics of a barred galaxy depends on the pattern speed of its bar. The only direct method for measuring the pattern speed of a bar is the Tremaine...
Constraining the Disk Geometry of Low Mass X-Ray Binaries
We propose to have simultaneously X-ray and optical observations of the two X-ray binaries 4U 1254-69 4U 1916-053 using the rare combination of RXTE and...
