Descripción
We have obtained for the first time K-band infrared spectra of the soft X-ray transient V616 Mon (=A0620-00). We determine the 2-sigma upper limit to the fraction of light arising from the accretion disc to be 27 percent. The effect this has on the binary inclination, determined from modelling the infrared ellipsoidal variations is to increase it by less than 7 degrees and decrease the mass of the black hole by less than 3.6 Msun.

    TOI-5005 b: A super-Neptune in the savanna near the ridge
    Context. The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of ≃3–5 days. These features are thought to be shaped by dynamical and atmospheric processes. However, their roles are not yet well understood. Aims. Our aim was to confirm and characterize the super-Neptune

    Multiple reference star differential imaging with VLT/SPHERE: Influence of the reference frame selection and library
    Context. High-contrast imaging observations mostly rely on angular differential imaging, a successful technique for detecting point-sources, such as planets. However, in the vicinity of the star (typically below 300 mas), this technique suffers from signal self-subtraction when there is not enough field rotation. Building large libraries of

    Hints of auroral and magnetospheric polarized radio emission from the scallop-shell star 2MASS J05082729–2101444
    Scallop-shell stars, a recently discovered class of young M dwarfs, show complex optical light curves that are characterized by periodic dips as well as other features that are stable over tens to hundreds of rotation cycles. The origin of these features is not well-understood. 2MASS J05082729‑2101444 is a ∼25 Myr old scallop-shell star that was
