Two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations are presented from the formation up to the late evolution of planetary nebula, for six different stellar models from 1 to 5 M $_{\odot }$. The hydrodynamical models use stellar evolution calculations as inner boundary conditions and updated values for the number of ionizing photons. Special emphasis is

We present simultaneous high-precision optical polarimetric and near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV) photometric observations of the low-mass black hole X-ray binary A0620−00 in a quiescent state. Subtracting interstellar polarization, estimated from a sample of field stars, we derived the intrinsic polarization of A0620−00. We show that the

We present a strictly line-by-line differential analysis of a moderately r-process-enhanced star (r-I: HD 107752) with respect to a strongly r-process-enhanced star (r-II: CS 31082-0001) to investigate the possible common origin of their heavy-element nucleosynthesis with high-precision abundances. This study employs European Southern Observatory

We assess the computational feasibility of end-to-end Bayesian analysis of the JAXA-led LiteBIRD experiment by analysing simulated time ordered data (TOD) for a subset of detectors through the Cosmoglobe and Commander3 framework. The data volume for the simulated TOD is 1.55 TB, or 470 GB after Huffman compression. From this we estimate a total

The atmospheres of low-temperature brown dwarfs and gas giant planets are expected to contain the phosphine molecule, PH 3. However, previous observations have shown much lower abundances of this molecule than predicted with atmospheric chemistry models. We report JWST spectroscopic observations of phosphine in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf

C≡N-bearing species are valuable tracers of nitrogen chemistry in the solar system. Ranging from volatile compounds like HCN and CH 3CN in cometary comae to refractory CN-bearing organics in some micrometeorites and interplanetary dust particles, these species originate in, or are derived from, molecular precursors in the interstellar medium (ISM)
