  • Few EURONEAR NEA mini-surveys observed with the INT, KASI and T80S telescopes during the ParaSOL synthetic tracking project
    The modern synthetic tracking technique (ST) can make use of small and medium-sized telescopes to detect asteroids fainter than the classic blinking methods, by arbitrary shifting and co-adding more images of the same survey field, if GPU computing resources are available. In the framework of the Romanian ParaSOL project, we developed and tested an

  • Hexa-(2-ethylhexyl)-hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene as archetypal model compound of asphaltenes and MAONs
    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

  • Strong spectral features from asymptotic giant branch stars in distant quiescent galaxies
    Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary population synthesis models with different input physics are used for this purpose. Moreover, the contribution from the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stellar phase, which peaks

  • The 2024 May event in the context of auroral activity over the past 375 yr
    We survey 223 916 auroral records from the Northern hemisphere observed between 1650 January and 2024 July, making full allowance for the secular change in the geomagnetic field. We generate criteria for defining extreme auroral events that are met on 0.015 per cent and 0.023 per cent of nights since 1650 and 1790, respectively. After discussing

  • The 2023 Outburst of the Gaia Alerted EXor Gaia23bab
    Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of episodic accretion. We study the recently discovered EXor Gaia23bab during its 2023 outburst. We obtained optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy to probe the variation of the

  • Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT 'EM) Survey. VI. Confirmation of a Long-period Giant Planet Discovered with a Single TESS Transit
    We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a 1.25R J ‑ 0.07 R J + 0.08 R J , 5.89M J ± 0.26M J giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at d ≃ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. Radial velocity (RV) observations of TOI-4465 showed a
