Descripción
We present a study of two dE/dSph members of the nearby M 81 group of galaxies, KDG 61 and KDG 64. Direct HST/ACS images and integrated-light spectra of 6 m telescope of Special Astrophysical Observatory (Russia) have been used for quantitative star formation history analysis. The spectroscopic and colour-magnitude diagrams analysis gives consistent results. These galaxies appear to be dominated by an old population (12-14 Gyr) of low metallicity ([Fe/H] ˜-1.5). Stars of ages about 1 to 4 Gyr have been detected in both galaxies. The later population shows marginal metal enrichment. Our radial velocity measurement suggests that the HII knot on the line-of-sight of KDG 61 is not gravitationally attached to the galaxy.

    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

    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

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky
