The Radioactive Nuclei 26Al and 60Fe in the Cosmos and in the Solar System
(2021-12-09)
The cosmic evolution of the chemical elements from the Big Bang to the present time is driven by nuclear fusion reactions inside stars and stellar explosions. A cycle of matter recurrently re-processes metal-enriched stellar ...
Polarization of hot Jupiter systems: a likely detection of stellar activity and a possible detection of planetary polarization
(2021-04-01)
We present high-precision linear polarization observations of four bright hot Jupiter systems ($\tau$ Boo, HD 179949, HD 189733 and 51 Peg) and use the data to search for polarized reflected light from the planets. The ...
