Descripción
It is well known that when measuring electron densities in H II regions locally via emission line ratios the values observed are 100cm-3, but gobal values obtained via emission measure using surface brightness as the observed parameter are ~1cm-3. This difference is attributable to density fluctuations,and traditional models for these is the ``Filling factor (FF)'' model, of Osterbrock and Flather. Implicit in this model is the optical thinness of the fluctuations. We show here that if these fluctuations are optically thick the diagnostic diagrams which are used to find parameters, notably abundances, will be significantly affected. We present observational arguments supporting these ``clumpy'' models, and outline some initial results of their use.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    First light and results for atmospheric characterization with The Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS)

    NIRPS is a new fiber-fed high spectral resolution (~80k) spectrograph assisted by adaptive optics installed on the 3.6m telescope of ESO at LaSilla, Chile. Operated simultaneously with HARPS, NIRPS covers the Y, J, and H bands. The commissioning phase demonstrated high stability for time-series observations along precise radial velocities reaching

    Nodal Precession of a Hot Jupiter Transiting the Edge of a Late A-Type Star TOI-1518

    TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter b~0.9) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The host star's high rotation speed (Vsini s~85 km s -1) and the planet's nearly polar orbit (λ~120 deg) may cause a nodal
