INTEGRAL: an integral key to high energy astronomy
INTEGRAL changed our understanding of X-ray binaries, and taught us so much about our galactic home. Here’s a brief look, in awe and gratitude.

Latinx Heritage Month Experience: Monica Vidaurri
Remember that you are also a creation of the universe. You are as mighty as the stars, the galaxies, and the planets. Billions of years and a series of miracles went into making you. You are, and have always been, enough.
A Moist Exoplanet in the Neptune Desert
Water vapor detection of exoplanet atmospheres has been a hot topic. This scientific question is included in the first set of results published by JWST. But it’s even more difficult to detect the presence of water vapor on exoplanets in the Neptune desert. This year, researchers detected water vapor on TOI-674 b for the first time by analyzing atmospheric transmission spectrum. It’s very exciting. This discovery provides an important target for subsequent detection with higher precision by JWST.
