Description
We report the discovery of a brown dwarf candidate around evolved star BD +48 873. Companion is located in eccentric orbit at around 5 AU semi-major axis, which places it in an exciting location at the edge of the theorized brown dwarf desert. We present the radial velocity data analysis results of brown dwarf parameters and the host star's characteristics.

    Euclid: I. Overview of the Euclid mission
    The current standard model of cosmology successfully describes a variety of measurements, but the nature of its main ingredients, dark matter and dark energy, remains unknown. Euclid is a medium-class mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) that will provide high-resolution optical imaging, as well as

    Understanding coronal rain dynamics through a point-mass model
    Aims. Observations and simulations of coronal rain show that as cold and dense plasma falls through the corona, it initially undergoes acceleration by gravity before the downward velocity saturates. Simulations have shown the emergence of an unexpected relation between the terminal velocity of the rain and density ratio that has not been explained

    In-depth characterization of the Kepler-10 three-planet system with HARPS-N radial velocities and Kepler transit timing variations
    The old G3V star Kepler-10 is known to host two transiting planets, the ultra-short-period super-Earth Kepler-10 b (P b = 0.837 d; R b = 1.47 R ⊕) and the long-period sub-Neptune Kepler-10 c (P c = 45.294 d; R c = 2.35 R ⊕), and a non-transiting planet that causes variations in the Kepler-10 c transit times. Measurements of the mass of Kepler-10 c
