Description
Aims.We investigate the influence of longitudinal structuring of the surrounding corona on the modes of oscillation of a coronal magnetic flux tube. Methods: .A partial differential equation is derived for the total pressure perturbation of the fast modes and it is solved analytically in terms of Bessel functions, obtaining a dispersion relation. Results: .The introduction of coronal structuring changes the cutoff frequency, enhancing coronal leakage, so even the fundamental kink mode may become leaky. Structure also modifies the loop's oscillatory frequencies and may result in higher harmonics being trapped. Conclusions: .Depending on the structuring, two competing effects take place: environmental structuring enhances leakage, while loop structuring helps confine the modes. This has important consequences for coronal seismology, leading to the absence of trapped modes for certain parameters and shifts in frequencies.

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO★

    GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characterized by other spectroscopic and photometric instruments. Previous literature studies provide several mass measurements for the three planets, however, with large variations

    Stellar halo density with LAMOST K and M giants

    Aims: We derive the morphology of the stellar component in the outer halo volume, and search for possible overdensities due to substructures therein. Methods: We made use of some of the data releases of the spectroscopic survey LAMOST DR8-DR9 in tandem with distance determinations for two subsamples, that is, of K-giants and M-giants, respectively
