Jupiter’s atmosphere has been sounded in transmission from the UV to the IR, as if it were a transiting exoplanet, by observing Ganymede while passing through Jupiter’s shadow. The spectra show strong extinction due to the presence of aerosols and haze in Jupiter’s atmosphere and strong absorption features of methane. Here, we report a new detailed

In the last years we obtained a very detailed picture of the Primordial Universe by, among other means, measuring the intensity and the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). With the last space missions WMAP and Planck we entered in the precision Cosmology era. Nowadays, ground-based experiments are measuring the sky looking for

Context. Models of stellar spectra are necessary for interpreting light from individual stars, planets, integrated stellar populations, nebulae, and the interstellar medium. Aims: We provide a comprehensive and homogeneous collection of synthetic spectra for a wide range of atmospheric parameters and chemical compositions. Methods: We compile

We introduce a set of clockwork models of flavor that can naturally explain the large hierarchies of the Standard Model quark masses and mixing angles. Since the clockwork only contains chains of new vector-like fermions without any other dynamical fields, the flavor constraints allow for relatively light new physics scale. For two benchmarks with

Context. Convective motions in solar-type stellar atmospheres induce Doppler shifts that affect the strengths and shapes of spectral absorption lines and create slightly asymmetric line profiles. One-dimensional (1D) local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) studies of elemental abundances are not able to reproduce this phenomenon, which becomes

Gemini Multi Object Spectrograph medium-resolution spectra and photometric data of 39 objects in the field of the radio galaxy 3C 17 are presented. Based on the new data, a previously uncataloged cluster of galaxies is identified at a mean redshift of z = 0.220 ± 0.003, a projected virial radius of 0.37 Mpc, and a velocity dispersion of σ v = 821 ±
