Context. The CNEOS database offers near-global coverage of fireball events based on U.S. Government sensor detections. The database contributes to investigations of meteoroid impact fluxes. However, the accuracy of these data is not reported. Aims. We aim to evaluate the reliability of CNEOS-derived ephemerides of fireball events given the absence

We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient was first detected with the Wide-field X-ray Telescope as an intense flare lasting for ∼100 s, reaching a luminosity of L 0.5‑4 keV ≈ 10 48 erg s ‑1. Further observations

In modern-day astronomy, near-infrared, optical, and ultraviolet spectroscopy are indispensable for studying a wide range of phenomena, from measuring black hole masses to analyzing chemical abundances in stellar atmospheres. However, spectroscopic data reduction is often performed using instrument-specific pipelines or legacy software well

Low-resolution infrared spectroscopy from JWST confirms the presence of SiC and likely metallic iron dust around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Sextans A dwarf galaxy, which has a metallicity ∼1%–7% Z ⊙. While metal-poor carbon-rich AGB stars are known to produce copious amounts of amorphous carbon dust owing to the dredge up of newly

We determine magnetic fields from the photosphere to the upper chromosphere combining data from the Hinode satellite and the CLASP2.1 sounding rocket experiment. CLASP2.1 provided polarization profiles of the Mg II h and k lines, as well as of the Mn I lines around 2800 Å, across various magnetic structures in an active region, containing a plage
