Descripción
Photospheric and chromospheric solar magnetograms sometimes show opposite polarity. This intriguing phenomenon is associated with the emergence of magnetic flux and with nearby, but not necessarily superposed, flaring activity. Despite the fact that there may be different explanations, it is shown here that the observed reversals are consistent with weak flare-like line emission all over the reversed polarity regions. Although this emission does not show up as a flare in filtergrams, it exhibits itself as a polarity reversal of the chromospheric magnetograms. If this interpretation were correct, the reversal would not correspond to a real flip of the magnetic field direction from the photosphere to the chromosphere. It would be an artifact due to radiative transfer effects. Observations to support or discard this hypothesis are briefly pointed out.

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO★

    GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characterized by other spectroscopic and photometric instruments. Previous literature studies provide several mass measurements for the three planets, however, with large variations
