We investigate the cosmology of x-matter with pressure, px, and density, ρx, related by px=w0ργx(w0 0). For γ >1, this x-matter behaves like a cosmological...
A geometric distance to the supermassive black Hole of NGC 3783
The angular size of the broad line region (BLR) of the nearby active galactic nucleus NGC 3783 has been spatially resolved by recent observations with VLTI...
Inversions of spectropolarimetric observations of penumbral filaments deliver the stratification of different physical quantities in an optical depth scale...
A giant exoplanet orbiting a very-low-mass star challenges planet formation models
Surveys have shown that super-Earth and Neptune-mass exoplanets are more frequent than gas giants around low-mass stars, as predicted by the core accretion...
A giant impact as the likely origin of different twins in the Kepler-107 exoplanet system
Measures of exoplanet bulk densities indicate that small exoplanets with radius less than 3 Earth radii (R ⊕) range from low-density sub-Neptunes containing...
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the Solar System 1, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into...
A giant planet transiting a 3-Myr protostar with a misaligned disk
Astronomers have found more than a dozen planets transiting stars that are 10–40 million years old 1, but younger transiting planets have remained elusive. The...
A giant radio galaxy with three cycles of episodic jet activity from LoTSS DR2
The excellent sensitivity and optimum resolution of LoTSS DR2 at 144 MHz has enabled us to discover a giant radio galaxy (J1225+4011) with three distinct...
A giant thin stellar stream in the Coma Galaxy Cluster
The study of dynamically cold stellar streams reveals information about the gravitational potential where they reside and provides important constraints on the...
