Increasing space activities, especially in low-Earth orbits (LEO), lead to more orbital debris and night-sky pollution. Spectroscopic analysis of light reflected from artificial space objects can aid to identify dominant surface materials and their reflective properties. Satellites interact with sunlight in diffuse and specular reflections, which

Hot Jupiters and their atmospheres are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy due to their extended atmospheres and the corresponding large signal-to-noise, providing the best possible constraints for the atmospheric carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio and metallicity of exoplanets. Within BOWIE-ALIGN, we aim to compare JWST spectra of a sample of

Planetary radii are derived for 218 exoplanets orbiting 161 M dwarf stars. Stellar radii are based on an analysis of APOGEE high-resolution near-IR spectra for a subsample of the M dwarfs; these results are used to define a stellar radius-M K s calibration that is applied to the sample of M-dwarf planet hosts. The planetary radius distribution

LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission focused on primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. In this paper, we present the LiteBIRD Simulation Framework (LBS), a Python package designed for the implementation of pipelines that model

Radio pulsating white dwarf (WD) systems, known as WD pulsars, are binary systems where the rapidly spinning WD interacts with a low-mass companion, producing pulsed non-thermal emission observed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Only two such systems are known: AR Sco and eRASSU J191213.9–441044. Here, we present the discovery of a third

Aims. We aim to confirm and measure the mass of the transiting planet candidate around the K5 V star TOI-2093, previously announced by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) project. Methods. We combined photometric data from 32 sectors between 2019 and 2024 with 86 radial velocity measurements obtained with the CARMENES spectrograph over
