Recent cosmological analyses measuring distances of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) have all given similar hints at time-evolving dark energy. To examine whether underestimated SN Ia systematics might be driving these results, Efstathiou (2025) compared overlapping SN events between Pantheon+ and DES-SN5YR (20 per

We introduce (and test on real data) a new method based on Machine Learning techniques to quantitatively analyse observed microlensing light curves of lensed quasars. The method is aimed at providing a fast and robust procedure to estimate physical parameters from observed light curves, in order to be easily applied to the large quantities of light

Several phenomenological aspects of low-luminosity neutron star transients, such as atolls, remain poorly understood. One such source, MAXI J1807+132, entered its latest outburst in 2023 July. To thoroughly characterize this outburst, we conducted an extensive observational campaign spanning radio to X-ray wavelengths. Here we present the results

We present a detailed optical and near-IR (NIR) spectral analysis of J-138717, a post-starburst galaxy at z = 1.8845 observed with JWST/NIRSpec, for which we derive a stellar mass of 3.5±0.2×10 10 M ⊙ and a stellar velocity dispersion of 198±10 km s ‑1. We estimate an age of ∼0.9 Gyr and a subsolar metallicity (between ‑0.4 and ‑0.2 dex). We find

We present the validation of TOI-2407 b, a warm Neptune-sized planet with a radius of $4.26\pm 0.26$ R $_{\oplus }$, orbiting an early M-type star with a period of 2.7 d and an equilibrium temperature of $705\pm 12$ K. The planet was identified by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry and validated in this work through

We describe our approach to solving the problem of ensuring the solenoidality of the magnetic field vector in 3D inversions, as well as the estimation of the uncertainty in the inferred magnetic field. The solenoidality of the magnetic field vector is often disregarded in the inversion of spectropolarimetric data due to limitations in the
