Description
The LOI (Luminosity Oscillations Imager) is a low resolution solar photometer built at the SSD of ESA. It is one of the instruments in the VIRGO experiment on board the SOHO satellite. In May 1994, the Qualification Model of the LOI was installed at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) and since then it has been working continuously (LOI-T). The intrument has 4 guiding pixels in a ring shape around 12 central pixels. This ring has an internal radius of 15.12 arcmin and it is 1.68 arcmin width. Each guiding pixel is a quadrant of an annulus and it is oriented on one of the geographic directions: North, South, East and West. With these pixels, several signals can be derived that might be used as a measure of the solar shape: radius, oblateness, etc. Results of more than five years observations are presented.

    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

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche
