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

Context. The typical uncertainties of ages determined for single star giants from isochrone fitting using single-epoch spectroscopy and photometry without any additional constraints are 30–50%. Binary systems, particularly double-lined spectroscopic binaries, provide an opportunity to study the intricacies of internal stellar physics and better

The chain scission radiation chemical yield G(S) of irradiated PLLA films has been calculated directly from the ketone absorption band of its FT-IR spectra recorded at different absorbed dose. The maximum value G(S) = 2.85 ± 0.1 scission/100 eV was determined at 100 kGy, in excellent agreement with previously reported G(S) but determined from CO 2

Context. Substellar objects, including brown dwarfs and free-floating planetary-mass objects, are a significant product of star formation. Their sensitivity to initial conditions and early dynamical evolution makes them especially valuable for studying planetary and stellar formation processes. Aims. We search for brown dwarfs and isolated

The Euclid Wide Survey (EWS) is predicted to find approximately 170 000 galaxy-galaxy strong lenses from its lifetime observation of 14 000 deg 2 of the sky. Detecting this many lenses by visual inspection with professional astronomers and citizen scientists alone is infeasible. As a result, machine learning algorithms, particularly convolutional

The camera of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) consists of 1855 pixels that are grouped into 265 high-performance photomultiplier tube (PMT) modules. Each module comprises a seven-light-guide plate, seven PMT units, a slow control board, and a readout board with a trigger board. The requirements
