Descripción
An analysis of IRAS data for a sample of classical (optically selected) Seyfert galaxies is presented. The IRAS fluxes at 25, 60, and 100 μm are found to be uncorrelated or only very weakly correlated with the ultraviolet-optical continuum flux and the fluxes at 3.5 and 10 μm. This provides further evidence that the active nucleus is not the principal source of far-infrared emission. The IRAS measurements for the Seyfert galaxies are compared to IRAS observations of a sample of normal spirals and to a sample of H II region (starburst) galaxies. The distribution of far-IR luminosities and of 60 - 100 μm colors for the Seyfert galaxies and the starburst galaxies are indistinguishable. This indicates that star formation produces the bulk of the far-IR emission in Seyfert galaxies.

    Beyond the Nyquist frequency: Asteroseismic catalog of undersampled Kepler late subgiants and early red giants
    Subgiants and early red giants are crucial for studying the first dredge-up, a key evolutionary phase in which the convective envelope deepens, mixing previously interior-processed material and bringing it to the surface. Yet, very few have been seismically characterized with Kepler because their oscillation frequencies are close to the 30 minute

    Context. Over the past 15 years, studies of quasars in the far-infrared (FIR) have reported host luminosities ranging from 10 12 to 10 14 L ⊙. These luminosities, often derived from Herschel/SPIRE photometry, suggest star formation rates (SFRs) of up to several thousand M ⊙ yr ‑1, positioning them among the most luminous starburst galaxies in the

    Transit timing variations in HIP 41378: CHEOPS and TESS confirm a non-transiting sixth planet in the system
    In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are in or near mean-motion resonances (MMRs), making them more easily detectable. In cases where both TTVs and radial velocity (RV) measurements are available, combined
