Description
The expected mass loss rates from horizontal branch (HB) and red giant branch models are investigated. The expected dependence of those rates on luminosity, metallicity, helium content, giant mass, and HB morphology is discussed. For an HB distribution depending on metallicity, the values found for the fitting factors in the Reimers parameterization are in good agreement with those derived independently for Population I stars.

    Characterisation at Cryogenic Temperatures of an Attenuator for an Application of Astrophysical Instrumentation with MKIDs
    The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries risks related to reliability, performance and thermal compatibility. The decision to use commercial components that are not certified for cryogenics instead of components specifically

    Euclid: High-precision imaging astrometry and photometry from Early Release Observations: I. Internal kinematics of NGC6397 by combining Euclid and Gaia data
    The instruments at the focus of the Euclid space observatory offer superb, diffraction-limited imaging over an unprecedented (from space) wide field of view of 0.57 deg 2. This exquisite image quality has the potential to produce high-precision astrometry for point sources once the undersampling of Euclid's cameras is taken into account by means of

    Blue supergiants as a progenitor of intermediate-luminosity red transients
    The current perspective about the explosions of massive hydrogen-rich blue supergiants is that they resemble SN 1987A. These so-called peculiar Type II supernovae, however, are one of the rarest types of supernovae and may not hence be the fate of all blue supergiants. In this work, we explore other explosion scenarios for blue supergiants. We
