Description
The authors have measured the Li abundance in a sample of 37 field dwarfs of low metallicity. Stars with [Fe/H] < -1.4 ("EMD" stars) form a much more homogenous population w.r.t. 7Li than do the stars with somewhat higher metallicities. The authors argue that the warmer EMD stars (6000K < Teff < 6300K) show little Li depletion, and that their asymptotic Li abundance log N(Li) = 2.2 (±0.15) is the best available approximation to a primordial value.

    JWST and cross-correlation techniques: A faster alternative for atmospheric studies
    The application of cross-correlation techniques to JWST transmission spectra has opened an alternate pathway to study exoplanet atmospheres with JWST observations, which will contribute to pave the road for the first atmospheric studies with ELTs. JWST observed for the first time the hot-Jupiter WASP-39b on July 2022 as part of the JWST Transiting

    The population of barred galaxies in the MACS J0647.8+7015 galaxy cluster at z=0.59
    We study the bar fraction in the MACS J0647.8+7015 cluster of galaxies at z=0.59 using the observations obtained with the NIRCam instrument mounted on the JWST telescope. We visually inspected the near infrared images obtained with the F200W filter of all the cluster members to identify the presence of bars. The cluster member selection was based

    Performance and first measurements of the MAGIC Stellar Intensity Interferometer
    In recent years, a technology developed between the 1950s and 1970s by the pioneering experiments of Hanbury Brown and Twiss has (re)emerged: the Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII). Unlike amplitude interferometry, SII exploits a second-order effect that can be measured by correlating the light intensities at different detectors without the
