  • Dark skies of the slightly eccentric WASP-18 b from its optical-to-infrared dayside emission
    Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are gas giant exoplanets that are strongly irradiated by their star, setting intense molecular dissociation that leads to atmospheric chemistry dominated by ions and atoms. These conditions inhibit day-to-night heat redistribution, which results in high temperature contrasts. Phase-curve observations over several

  • The Central Engine of Low-luminosity Radio Galaxy 3C 270 (NGC 4261)
    We present the polarization spectra of the nucleus of 3C 270. We confirm that the polarization angles of both the continuum and the emission lines are close to perpendicular to the jet direction after careful correction of interstellar polarization, which indicates polar scattering. The Stokes flux spectrum resembles the total flux spectrum, with

  • A Comparative Study of the Ground State Transitions of CO and C I as Molecular Gas Tracers at High Redshift
    The CO(1–0) and [C I](1–0) emission lines are well-established tracers of cold molecular gas mass in local galaxies. At high redshift, where the interstellar medium is likely to be denser, there have been limited direct comparisons of both ground-state transitions. We present a comparison of [C I](1–0) and CO(1–0) emission in 20 unlensed dusty

  • Advancing the accuracy in age determinations of old-disk stars using an oscillating red giant in an eclipsing binary
    Context. The study of resonant oscillation modes in low-mass red giant branch stars enables us to infer their ages with exceptional (∼10%) precision. This unlocks the possibility to reconstruct the temporal evolution of the Milky Way at early cosmic times. Ensuring the accuracy of such a precise age scale is a fundamental but difficult challenge

  • Decoding the molecular torus of NGC 1068: Insights into its structure and kinematics from high-resolution ALMA observations
    Context. Previous kinematic analysis of the pc-scale molecular torus in NGC 1068 have revealed a very complex and inhomogeneous system involving several physical components, such as non-circular motions, turbulence, high-velocity outflows, and possibly even counter-rotation. Aims. Our study aims to dissect the kinematics and morphology of the

  • MOA-2022-BLG-091Lb and KMT-2024-BLG-1209Lb: Microlensing planets detected through weak caustic-crossing signals
    Aims. The light curves of the microlensing events MOA-2022-BLG-091 and KMT-2024-BLG-1209 exhibit anomalies with very similar features. These anomalies appear near the peaks of the light curves, where the magnifications are moderately high, and are distinguished by weak caustic-crossing features with minimal distortion while the source remains
