Stellar signals are the main limitation for precise radial-velocity (RV) measurements. These signals arise from the photosphere of the stars. The m/s perturbation created by these signals prevents the detection and mass characterization of…

To study stellar populations, it is common to combine chemical abundances from different spectroscopic surveys/studies where different setups were used. These inhomogeneities can lead us to inaccurate scientific conclusions. In this work,…

Two benchmark problems for linear radiation transport and derived from the literature are presented in detail and several quantities of interest are defined. High-resolution simulations are computed using standard, robust numerical methods…
