H1517+656 is an unusual source, even for a BL Lac object. It is one of the most luminous BL Lac objects known, with extreme emission properties at radio...
Habitable Planets Eclipsing Brown Dwarfs: Strategies for Detection and Characterization
Given the very close proximity of their habitable zones, brown dwarfs (BDs) represent high-value targets in the search for nearby transiting habitable planets...
Halo Streams in the Seventh Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release
We have detected stellar halo streams in the solar neighborhood using data from the seventh public data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which...
We derive exact expressions for the degree of lineal polarization over a resolved or integrated stellar disc due to resonance scattering and the Hanle effect...
Hard-state Optical Wind during the Discovery Outburst of the Black Hole X-Ray Dipper MAXI J1803-298
We present 12 epochs of optical spectroscopy taken across the discovery outburst of the black hole (BH) candidate MAXI J1803-298 with the Gran Telescopio...
Since the beginning of precise Doppler surveys, which have had stunning success in detecting extrasolar planetary companions, one surprising enigma has emerged...
Heating of the Magnetized Solar Chromosphere by Partial Ionization Effects
In this paper, we study the heating of the magnetized solar chromosphere induced by the large fraction of neutral atoms present in this layer. The presence of...
Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis in the Brightest Galactic Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
We present updated calculations of stellar evolutionary sequences and detailed nucleosynthesis predictions for the brightest asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars...
Heavy-element Abundances in P-rich Stars: A New Site for the s-process?
The recently discovered phosphorus-rich stars pose a challenge to stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis theory, as none of the existing models can explain their...
