Observations from the Heliospheric Imagers (HI-1) on both the STEREO spacecraft have been analysed to search for bright low mass eclipsing binaries (EBs) and potential brown dwarf transits and to determine the radii of the companions. A…
A spatio-temporal analysis of IRIS spectra of MgII, CII, and SiIV ions allows us to study the dynamics and the stratification of the flare atmosphere along the line of sight during the magnetic reconnection phase at the jet base. Strong…
EBEX is a NASA-funded balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Observations will be made using 1432 transition edge sensor (TES) bolometric detectors read out with frequency…
Bipolar Light Bridges (BLBs) are bright regions located between sunspot umbrae of opposite magnetic polarity. They are typically characterized by strong magnetic fields and intense flows, which are believed to be closely associated with…
Aims. We aim to characterize the gas properties in the cluster outskirts ($R_{500}<r<R_{200}$) and in the detected inter-cluster filaments ($>R_{200}$) of the A3391/95 system and to compare them to predictions. Methods. We performed X-ray…
Small edge-localized-mode (ELM), similar to the quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE), has been achieved by increasing the density at the separatrix. Starting from the Type-I ELM experimental data in EAST, we have performed a numerical separatrix…
Large repositories of high precision light curve data, such as the Kepler data set, provide the opportunity to identify astrophysically important eclipsing binary (EB) systems in large quantities. However, the rate of classical "by eye"…
An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) close-up view of the Sun offers unprecedented detail of heating events in the solar corona. Enhanced temporal and spatial images obtained by the Solar Orbiter during its first science perihelion enabled us to…
We report new HST COS and STIS spectroscopy of a star-forming region (~100 solar masses/year) in the center of the X-ray cluster RXJ1532.9+3021 (z=0.362), to follow-up the CLASH team discovery of luminous UV filaments and knots in the…
The sunspot umbra harbors the coolest plasma on the solar surface due to the presence of strong magnetic fields. The routinely used atomic lines to observe the photosphere have weak signals in the umbra and are often swamped by molecular…
The diffuse meta-galactic radiation field at ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths - commonly labeled extragalactic background light (EBL) - contains the integrated emission history of the universe. Difficult to access via direct…
The near-star environment around obscured stars is very dynamic. Many classes of stars show evidence for winds, disks, inflows and outflows with many phenomena occurring simultaneously. These processes are involved in stellar evolution,…
We use self-consistent kinetic/hydrodynamic models of the heliosphere to predict H I Lyman-alpha absorption profiles for various lines of sight through the heliosphere. These results are compared with Lyman-alpha absorption lines of six…
We study off-limb emission of the lower solar atmosphere using high-resolution imaging spectroscopy in the H$\beta$ and Ca II 8542 \r{A} lines obtained with the CHROMospheric Imaging Spectrometer (CHROMIS) and the CRisp Imaging…
Compact objects undergoing mass transfer exhibit significant (and double-peaked) $H_{\alpha}$ emission lines. Recently, new methods have been developed to identify black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) and calculate their systematic parameters…
Context. Measurements of the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) are a fundamental source of information on the collective emission of cosmic sources. Aims. At infrared wavelengths, however, these measurements are precluded by the…
With the goal of producing a reliable set of model atoms and singly-ionized ions for use in building NLTE model atmospheres, we have combined measured energy levels, critically-compiled line transition probabilities, and resonance-averaged…
We analyze here variations of the position and the vertical extent of the energy deposition layer (EDL) inthe C1.6 GOES-class solar flare observed at 10:20 UT on 2012 September 10. The variations of the EDL arecontrasted with the variations…
Observations of energetic electrons (10 - 300 keV) by NOAA/POES and DMSP satellites at heights <1000 km during the period from 1999 to 2010 allowed finding abnormal intense fluxes of ~10^6 - 10^7 cm-2 s-1 sr-1 for quasi-trapped electrons…
We have combined Hubble Space Telescope/Faint Object Spectrograph, ground-based, and Infrared Space Observatory spectra of the nucleus of NGC 4395, the least luminous and nearest known type 1 Seyfert galaxy. The spectra show emission lines…
