Descripción
We study photometric variable stars in two open clusters of very different age: σ Orionis (τ ˜ 3 Ma, d ˜ 385 pc) and NGC 6811 (τ ˜ 600 Ma, d ˜ 1000 pc). In NGC 6811 we expected to detect pulsations in known δ Scuti stars that are also observed in the Kepler field, from which we calculate the frequency spectra, and derive information about the stellar interior using asteroseismological models. In σ Orionis we expected to detect variability in stars produced by cool and hot spots on their surfaces because of magnetic activity, as well as by flares and occulting circumstellar discs. We confirmed our expectations and we also had a nice surprise, the discovery of a δ Scuti candidate in σ Orionis. It is Mayrit 524060 (HD 37564), a bright young A0 V star with a period P = 1.61 h and an amplitude of 0.017 mag.

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche
