Description
We have obtained for the first time K-band infrared spectra of the soft X-ray transient V616 Mon (=A0620-00). We determine the 2-sigma upper limit to the fraction of light arising from the accretion disc to be 27 percent. The effect this has on the binary inclination, determined from modelling the infrared ellipsoidal variations is to increase it by less than 7 degrees and decrease the mass of the black hole by less than 3.6 Msun.

    Coronal and chromospheric activity of Teegarden's star
    Teegarden's star is a late-type M-dwarf planet host, typically showing only rather low levels of activity. In this paper we present an extensive characterisation of this activity at photospheric, chromospheric, and coronal levels. We specifically investigated TESS observations of Teegarden's star, which showed two very large flares with an

    J-PLUS: The fraction of calcium white dwarfs along the cooling sequence
    Aims. We used the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) second data release (DR2) photometry in 12 optical bands over 2176 deg 2 to estimate the fraction of white dwarfs with the presence of Ca II H+K absorption along the cooling sequence. Methods. We compared the J-PLUS photometry against metal-free theoretical models to estimate

    J-PLUS: Bayesian object classification with a strum of BANNJOS
    Context. With its 12 optical filters, the Javalambre-Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) provides an unprecedented multicolor view of the local Universe. The third data release (DR3) covers 3192 deg 2 and contains 47.4 million objects. However, the classification algorithms currently implemented in the J-PLUS pipeline are deterministic and
