Description
A catalogue of galaxies with extremely red colours (R-J≥5), covering 8.43 square degrees has been selected from optical and near-infrared data. Based on their bright near-infrared magnitude and their very red colour, these objects are likely to be very massive galaxies with little or no ongoing star formation. We have derived a surface density of 0.0396 ± 0.0011 arcmin-2 (Poisson uncertainties) for these Extremely Red Objects.

    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
