Description
Winter weekly cycles of different climatic variables have been detected over Spain during the 1961-2004 period. The 13 analyzed series come from stations placed on different climatological and geographical areas with different level of urban influence. Therefore, the weekly cycles can hardly be related with local effects. Contrarily, we suggest that the weekly cycles may be related with changes in the atmospheric circulation over Western Europe, which may be due to some indirect effect of anthropogenic aerosols. Particularly interesting is the observed increase in Sea Level Pressure over Southern Europe during the weekends and consequently a decrease of anticyclonic conditions during the central weekdays.

    TESS and ESPRESSO discover a super-Earth and a mini-Neptune orbiting the K-dwarf TOI-238*
    The number of super-Earth and mini-Neptune planet discoveries has increased significantly in the last two decades thanks to transit and radial velocity (RV) surveys. When it is possible to apply both techniques, we can characterise the internal composition of exoplanets, which in turn provides unique insights on their architecture, formation and

    Dramatic Drop in the X-Ray Polarization of Swift J1727.8–1613 in the Soft Spectral State
    Black hole X-ray binaries exhibit different spectral and timing properties in different accretion states. The X-ray outburst of a recently discovered and extraordinarily bright source, Swift J1727.8–1613, has enabled the first investigation of how the X-ray polarization properties of a source evolve with spectral state. The 2–8 keV polarization

    Overmassive Black Holes at Cosmic Noon: Linking the Local and the High-redshift Universe
    We report for the first time a sample of 12 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) hosted by low-mass galaxies at cosmic noon, i.e., in a redshift range consistent with the peak of star formation history: z ∼ 1–3. These black holes are 2 orders of magnitude too massive for the stellar content of their hosts when compared with the local relation for
