Descripción
NGC 5982 is known to be one of those elliptical galaxies that have peculiar kinematics in their centres. In this paper, optical spectroscopic observations are presented, which show that a specific feature is present in the velocity field of NGC 5982. This suggests that the kinematical behaviour is the result of projection effects in a dynamically smooth triaxial elliptical galaxy, and that it is not due to a dynamically distinct, central mass component. Nevertheless, we suggest that it may be related to a merger event.

    Accurate modeling of the forward-scattering Hanle effect in the chromospheric Ca I 4227 Å line
    Context. Measurable linear scattering polarization signals have been predicted and detected at the solar disk center in the cores of chromospheric lines. These forward-scattering polarization signals, which are of high interest for magnetic field diagnostics, have always been modeled either under the assumption of complete frequency redistribution

    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

    Coronal and chromospheric activity of Teegarden's star
    Teegarden's star is a late-type M-dwarf planet host, typically showing only rather low levels of activity. In this paper we present an extensive characterisation of this activity at photospheric, chromospheric, and coronal levels. We specifically investigated TESS observations of Teegarden's star, which showed two very large flares with an
