Descripción
We have identified IGR J17303-0601 (1RXS J173021.5-055933) as an intermediate polar (IP). The optical counterpart is USNOA2.0 0825_10606993 (RA=17h30m21.9s Dec=-05d59m31s). Using optical photometry obtained in 2003 at the JKT and at the OGS we determine the white dwarf spin period to be 120s, which is the second-shortest spin period discovered so far (after AE Aqr, Pspin=33s). The spin folded light curve has a double-pulse structure, suggesting that both accreting poles / accretion curtains contribute to the optical light.

    Constraining in-situ vs. ex-situ stellar mass in nearby galaxies with simulation-based inference
    Understanding the complexities of galaxy evolution and the role of mergers therein remains a fundamental challenge in astrophysics. Since galaxies can only be observed at a single point in cosmic time, tracing their merging history and its impact on a galaxy's mass assembly is heavily dependent on models or cosmological simulations. However, while

    Precise abundances of Mg and neutron-capture elements in the Milky Way: chemodynamical relations using Gaia data and chemical evolution models
    The abundance of alpha and neutron-capture elements provide an important fossil signature in Galactic archaeology for tracing the chemical evolution of the Milky Way stellar populations. The combination with the astrometry and photometry from the Gaia data releases allow us to build an accurate time evolving chemodynamical picture of the Galaxy

    European Solar telescope preliminary optical design
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be part of the next generation of ground-based solar telescopes. With a primary mirror of 4.2 meters, it will be the largest solar telescope ever built in Europe offering a large collecting area and extremely sharp images, due to the Adaptive Optics (AO) system integrated within the optical path to compensate
