Spot-crossing transits offer a unique opportunity to probe spot properties such as temperature, size, and surface distribution. TOI-3884 is a rare system in which spot-crossing features are persistently observed during every transit. This is due to its unusual configuration: a nearly polar-orbit super-Neptune transits a pole-on mid-M dwarf

This is major release with several infrastructural changes that will make future development of dynesty easier, as well as significant speedups. The release also deprecated some rarely used options. Major refactor of the code that makes it easier to add new samplers. Major speedup of the uniform sampler when sampling in parallel You can now provide

Phosphorus-enhanced (P-rich; [P/Fe] ≳ +0.8) giants have been found among mildly metal-poor field stars, but in only one star in a globular cluster (GC), M4 (NGC 6121). Also, in a sample of bulge spheroid stars, some of them showed a moderate P enhancement in the range +0.5 < [P/Fe] < +1.0. In this paper we derive the P abundance of moderately metal

Kink oscillations in coronal loops have been extensively studied for their potential contributions to coronal heating and their role in plasma diagnostics through coronal seismology. A key focus is the strong damping of large-amplitude kink oscillations, which observational evidence suggests is nonlinear. However, directly identifying the

Hexa(ethylhexyl)-hexa-(peri)-hexabenzocoronene (HEH-HBC) was selected as model compound of asphaltenes. In fact, in the “island” model the asphaltenes are described with a relatively large aromatic core surrounded by aliphatic chains attached to the edges of the core. In their turn the asphaltenes are considered model compounds of MAONs (Mixed

As ancient star clusters, globular clusters (GCs) are regarded as powerful tracers of galaxy evolution and assembly. Due to their brightness and compact sizes, GCs are employed to probe the kinematics and stellar population properties of galaxies, from the central regions out into the halo where the underlying stellar light becomes too faint for
