Description
The optical warps of NGC 5907 is studied by means of CCD photometry, for the U and I filters, as well as for a narrow band filter centered at H-alpha. The present observations were extended out to about 380 arcsec in the NW side and out to about 348 arcsec in the SE side. The H I warps begin at these galactocentric radii, so that the optical ones are not clearly distinguished. The U warp is larger than the I one in the NW, but this difference is not appreciated in the SE. The disk shows slight corrugations.

    Microlensing brown-dwarf companions in binaries detected during the 2022 and 2023 seasons
    Aims. Building on previous works to construct a homogeneous sample of brown dwarfs in binary systems, we investigate microlensing events detected by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) survey during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Methods. Given the difficulty in distinguishing brown-dwarf events from those produced by binary lenses with

    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
