The presence of minor bodies in exoplanetary systems is most cases inferred through infra-red excesses, with the exception exocomets. Even if over 35 years have passed since first detection exocomets around beta Pic, only ~ 25 are known to show evidence evaporating bodies, and them been observed spectroscopy. With appearance new high-precision photometric missions designed search for exoplanets...

Developing software for stand-alone environments requires the availability of an interactive test support at an early stage of work. But rough conditions close to hardware force the test support to be content with minimal assistance by infrastructure. Sash (stand-alone shell) is the test support for developing the CHEOPS-Kernel and is presented in this paper. Sash is based on a yacc-grammar and...

aim and background:   postoperative pain is a frequent complication in young children undergoing general anaesthesi. sevoflurane anaesthesia in children has been related with higher incidence of postoperative emergence delirium in comparison with halothane, which some blame the pain as it&aposs; main reason. the current study was designed to compare the effect of caudal block versus apotel admi...

Context. Ultra-short period planets undergo strong tidal interactions with their host star which lead to planet deformation and orbital decay. Aims. WASP-103b is the exoplanet highest expected signature in its transit light curve one of shortest spiral-in times. Measuring would allow us estimate second degree fluid Love number gain insight into planet’s internal structure. Moreover, measuring d...

The aim of the Scanning of the Pyramids Project 2004 was to apply and test latest state-of-the-art terrestrial laser scanners combined with a calibrated digital camera for high accuracy, high resolution and long distance topographic scanning in archaeology. The monuments selected for the first campaign are the Cheops Pyramid and the Sphinx. The data form the basis for a detailed threedimensiona...

Recent TESS-based studies have suggested that the dayside of KELT-1b, a strongly-irradiated brown dwarf, is significantly brighter in visible light than what would be expected based on Spitzer observations infrared. We observe eight eclipses KELT-1b with CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) to measure its brightness temperature bluest passband observed so far, and model photometry jointl...
