Gender imbalance in the sciences is a problem that affects society as a whole. Attracting more women to science is a matter of welcoming 50% of the intellectual capacity of humankind. As institutions, science museums have the mission of expanding society access to scientific knowledge and encouraging the excitement of discovery. Further, they must

We present the characterisation of the TOI-6041 system, a bright (V = 9.84 ± 0.03) G7-type star hosting at least two planets. The inner planet, TOI-6041 b, is a warm Neptune with a radius of 4.55 −0.17 +0.18 R ⊕, initially identified as a single-transit event in TESS photometry. Subsequent observations with TESS and CHEOPS revealed additional

We present James Webb Space Telescope/Mid-Infrared Instrument imaging of eight nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) from the GATOS (Galactic Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey) survey to investigate the physical conditions of extended dust in their narrow-line regions (NLRs). In four galaxies (ESO 428─G14, NGC 4388, NGC 3081, and NGC 5728), we

We propose a focal-plane wavefront sensor (FPWFS) based on a short multimode fiber (MMF). By coupling the aberrated focal-plane field into an MMF of length 1 cm, we preserve modal interference over a 10 nm bandwidth at near-infrared wavelengths, but broader bandwidths could be achieved by appropriately tuning the fiber length. The resulting output

We introduce SYNFERENCE, a new flexible Python framework for galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting using simulation-based inference (SBI). SYNFERENCE leverages the SYNTHESIZER package for flexible forward-modelling of galaxy SEDs and integrates the LTU-ILI package to ensure best practices in model training and validation. In this work

TON 0599 (z = 0.7247) belongs to the few flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) detected in the very high energy (VHE, $E > 100$ GeV) gamma-ray band. Its redshift makes it currently one of the farthest VHE gamma-ray sources. It was detected for the first time with the MAGIC telescopes on 2017 December 15, and observed until December 29. The flux
