Description
The proto-planetary nebula Hen 3-1475 shows a remarkable highly collimated optical jet with a S-shaped string of shock-excited knots. Moreover, extremely high velocities have been observed in the innermost regions of its jet. We present a detailed analysis of the kinematic structure, and the excitation conditions in the shock-excited knots based on ground-based high dispersion spectroscopy and high angular resolution images obtained with the HST WFPC2. We discuss the similarities between the jet of Hen 3-1475 and the HH jets. Both exhibit double-peaked and extremely wide profiles, a decrease of the radial velocities with distance to the source in a step-like fashion, and high tangential velocities. The overall picture of Hen 3-1475 supports the description of the system as the result of time-dependent ejection velocity variability.

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky
