Descripción
Data from the newly commissioned Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has revealed a “hot Earth” around LHS 3844, an M dwarf located 15 pc away. The planet has a radius of 1.303+/- 0.022 R ⊕ and orbits the star every 11 hr. Although the existence of an atmosphere around such a strongly irradiated planet is questionable, the star is bright enough (I = 11.9, K = 9.1) for this possibility to be investigated with transit and occultation spectroscopy. The star’s brightness and the planet’s short period will also facilitate the measurement of the planet’s mass through Doppler spectroscopy.

    Thin coronal jets and plasmoid-mediated reconnection: Insights from Solar Orbiter observations and Bifrost simulations
    Context. Coronal jets are ubiquitous, collimated million-degree ejections that contribute to the energy and mass supply of the upper solar atmosphere and the solar wind. Solar Orbiter observations provide an unprecedented opportunity to study fine-scale jets from a unique vantage point close to the Sun. Aims. We aim to uncover thin jets originating

    The slow evolution of dark matter halos from cusp to core naturally produces extended stellar core-like distributions
    Motivated by the observation of extended stellar cores in dark matter (DM)-dominated dwarf galaxies, this study investigates a simple mechanism by which stellar cores can form as a result of DM halo expansion. Several non-CDM models predict that the DM distribution thermalizes over time, transforming initially cuspy halos into cores. This

    The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge
    The "Neptunian ridge" is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and 6 days. These planets may have formed similarly to their larger, hot Jupiter counterparts in the "3 day pileup," through a dynamically excited migration pathway. The
