Effects of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcanic Eruption on Observations at Paranal Observatory

Robert J. De Rosa, Angel Otarola, Thomas Szeifert +8

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted on 15 January 2022 with an energy equivalent to around 61 megatons of TNT. The explosion was bigger than any other volcanic eruption s…

The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect Revolutions: An ultra-short period planet and a warm mini-Neptune on perpendicular orbits

V. Bourrier, C. Lovis, M. Cretignier +34

Comparisons of the alignment of exoplanets with a common host star can be used to distinguish among concurrent evolution scenarios. However, multi-planet systems usually host mini-…

LBV phenomenon and binarity: The environment of HR Car

A. Mehner, S. Janssens, C. Agliozzo +7

Luminous blue variable stars (LBVs) are of great interest in massive-star evolution as they experience very high mass-loss episodes within short periods of time. HR Car is a famous…

The contribution by luminous blue variable stars to the dust content of the Magellanic Clouds

C. Agliozzo, N. Phillips, A. Mehner +6

(Shortened) Luminous blue variable stars (LBVs) form dust as a result of episodic, violent mass loss. To investigate their contribution as dust producers in the Magellanic Clouds,…
