Description
We analyze the bremsstrahlung emission obtained by the α -γ coincidence measurements to investigate on the α -decay dynamics of the 214 Po nucleus. We performed the experiment using a radioactive 226 Ra source leading, by α -decays, to the 214 Po nucleus, and the apparatus with the Si detector for α -particles, the NaI(Tl) detector able to collect photons with energies up to about 1 MeV. We compare the experimental data with the quantum-mechanical calculations and find a good agreement between theory and experiment for photon energies up to 765 keV. In the experimental data of the bremsstrahlung spectrum one can see the presence of slight oscillations.

    Accurate modeling of the forward-scattering Hanle effect in the chromospheric Ca I 4227 Å line
    Context. Measurable linear scattering polarization signals have been predicted and detected at the solar disk center in the cores of chromospheric lines. These forward-scattering polarization signals, which are of high interest for magnetic field diagnostics, have always been modeled either under the assumption of complete frequency redistribution

    TOI-5005 b: A super-Neptune in the savanna near the ridge
    Context. The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of ≃3–5 days. These features are thought to be shaped by dynamical and atmospheric processes. However, their roles are not yet well understood. Aims. Our aim was to confirm and characterize the super-Neptune

    Multiple reference star differential imaging with VLT/SPHERE: Influence of the reference frame selection and library
    Context. High-contrast imaging observations mostly rely on angular differential imaging, a successful technique for detecting point-sources, such as planets. However, in the vicinity of the star (typically below 300 mas), this technique suffers from signal self-subtraction when there is not enough field rotation. Building large libraries of
