description: We report a detailed study of the electronic and structural properties of the 39K superconductor \mgbtwo and of several related systems of the same family, namely \mgalbtwo, \bebtwo, \casitwo and \cabesi. Our calculations, which include zone-center phonon frequencies and transport properties, are performed within the local density approximation to the density functional theory, using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) and the norm-conserving pseudopotential methods. Our results indicate essentially three-dimensional properties for these compounds; however, strongly two-dimensional $σ$-bonding bands contribute significantly at the Fermi level. Similarities and differences between \mgbtwo and \bebtwo (whose superconducting properties have not been yet investigated) are analyzed in detail. Our calculations for \mgalbtwo show that metal substitution cannot be fully described in a rigid band model. \casitwo is studied as a function of pressure, and Be substitution in the Si planes leads to a stable compound similar in many aspects to diborides.

description: Restrictive irrigation water policies established due to e.g. environmental concerns or water scarcity appear to result in declining farm income and arising risk exposure in terms of yield uncertainty. With this in mind, we investigate the potential of index-based weather insurance, which is also known as weather derivatives, to cope with the economic disadvantages for farmers resulting from a reduction in water quotas and increased water prices. By means of a whole-farm risk programming approach, we systematically compare crop portfolios without and with the possibility of purchasing standardized weather derivatives based on precipitation and temperature indices. In doing so, we allow for crop diversification as well as water reallocation between crops. Thus, overcoming some of the shortcomings inherent to previous studies in this strand of research. In an application to a representative cash crop farm in northern Germany, we found that the use of weather derivatives offsets the loss in the farmer’s certainty equivalent resulting from moderate reductions in water quotas and water price increases. Our results also indicate that weather derivatives have the potential to substantially alter farm plans and the optimal irrigation water demand. Far reaching environmental implications might be the consequence which require further attention and careful consideration by policymakers.

description: The three-dimensional strongly screened vortex-glass model is studied numerically using methods from combinatorial optimization. We focus on the effect of disorder strength on the ground state and found the existence of a disorder-driven normal-to-superconducting phase transition. The transition turns out to be a geometrical phase transition with percolating vortex loops in the ground state configuration. We determine the critical exponents and provide evidence for a new universality class of correlated percolation.

description: We have succeeded in growing ferromagnetic metals (Co, Fe, and NiFe)/ Al2O3/ AlGaAs heterostructures with homogeneous and flat interfaces. The electro-luminescence (EL) from the light emitting diode (LED) consisting of the metal/insulator/semiconductor (MIS) structure depends on the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic electrode at room temperature. This fact shows that a spin-injection from the ferromagnetic metal to the semiconductor is achieved. The spin-injection efficiency is estimated to be the order of 1 % at room temperature.

description: The linear response theory is used to describe magnetoresistance oscillations of short-period unilateral superlattices with strong modulation (or alternatively arrays of coupled quantum wires). The semiclassical description of this system fails for strong magnetic fields (magnetic breakdown) and we employ a simple fully-quantum-mechanical tight-binding model in conjunction with Kubo's formula instead. The resulting magnetoresistance data nicely compare to the experiments while the model opens good intuitive insight into the effects taking place in the system.

description: Since the 1990s, Vietnam has made the transformation from being a net rice importer to becoming one of the world’s largest exporters of rice. In fact, Vietnamese farmers have been highly successful at increasing food production since the reformation (Doi moi) in 1986 so that by 2010, rice yields had more than doubled (General Statistics Office of Vietnam, 2012). However, Vietnam, because of its geographical location and characteristics, is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, with a World Bank report (2010) estimating that 59% of Vietnam’s total area and 71% of its population are susceptible to the impacts of tropical cyclones and floods. Furthermore, the regularity of extreme flood events during the last decade in central Vietnam has raised concern, with three flood classes, 1:10, 1:20 and 1:100-year floods occurring in Quang Nam province in 2004, 2009 and 2007, respectively (Institute of Geography, 2012; Institute of Water Resources Planning, 2011). In this study we use a three-stage approach to estimate the direct losses to rice production caused by 1:10, 1:20 and 1:100-year flood events in Quang Nam, central Vietnam. Firstly, utilising information from geo-spatial inundation maps together with the timing of the floods with respect to crop rotation, we calculate flood-depth susceptibility rates for rice crops. Secondly, we calculate the loss to rice production experienced under the three flood classes. Thirdly, using 2010 prices, cost-benefit analyses were conducted for rice production when impacted by the three flood classes. These include scenario (pessimistic, optimistic and likely) and sensitivity analyses. The estimated value of direct losses to rice production for 1:10, 1:20, and 1:100-year flood events were VND11billion, VND100 billion and VND121 billion, respectively. Benefit-cost ratios, already very low for subsistence rice farmers, are further eroded in years of extreme floods.

 Remarks. Originally described from Yalgoo in Western Australia, Womersley (1939) reported the species as frequently found under the bark of Eucalypts in the foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges near Adelaide, SA and at Trevallyn, TAS. Collecting by the current author has found the genus to be very diverse in Australia with numerous undescribed species most seeming to be moderately localised in their distribution. Furthermore, the systematics of the genus today includes many more characters than was the case in the time of Silvestri and Womersley (e.g., the chaetotaxy of urotergite I). The Trevallyn specimen has not been seen by the current author although it could be within the collection of the South Australian Museum. It is quite likely that it may not belong to H. kraepelini and the record of this species in Tasmania should be treated as uncertain. In many characters it resembles the following species although H. kraepelini is reported to have more pairs of styli and it is unlikely that this would have been mistaken by Womersley.

description: Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and anthropogenic phosphorus (P) input simultaneously affect soil respiration (RS), a crucial process that mediates soil carbon (C) cycling. However, the interaction of N deposition and anthropogenic P input on RS, as well as its components—autotrophic respiration (RA) and heterotrophic respiration (RH)—remain largely unexplored. Herein, we conducted an 8-year field experiment with N and P additions in a tropical secondary forest, integrating the vegetation traits, soil physicochemical properties, organic C fractions, and microbial properties, to explore the effects of nutrient inputs and their interactions on RS, RA, and RH. Over eight years, along P input significantly increased RS by 19.2% and RH by 42.1%. These increases were partially mitigated (by 33.2% annually for RS and 58.3% annually for RH) with the addition of N. In contrast, the co-addition of N and P enhanced RA compared to alone N or P addition, suggesting that N deposition mitigated the stimulative effect of P input on RS by reducing RH rather than RA. The structural equation model further revealed that N deposition reduced RH primarily by increasing soil N:P ratio and decreasing both the labile C fraction and fungi biomass. Our findings suggest that prevalent N deposition across low latitudes could have substantially mitigate C emissions from forest soils under anthropogenic P input.

description: Objective: Cerebral ischemia is accompanied by damage and death of a significant number of neurons due to glutamate excitotoxicity with subsequent a global increase of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective action of BDNF overexpression in hippocampal neurons against injury under ischemia-like conditions (oxygen and glucose deprivation) and glutamate-induced excitotoxicity (GluTox). Methods: The overexpression of BDNF was reached by the transduction of cell cultures with the adeno-associated (AAV)-Syn-BDNF-EGFP virus construct. Neuroprotective effects were mediated by Ca2+-dependent BDNF release followed by activation of the neuroprotective signaling cascades and changes of the gene expression. Thus, BDNF overexpression modulates Ca2+ homeostasis in cells, preventing Ca2+ overload and initiation of apoptotic and necrotic processes. Results:Antiapoptotic effect of BDNF overexpression is mediated via activation of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and changing the expression of PI3K, HIF-1, Src and an anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. On the contrary, the decrease of expression of proapoptotic proteins such as Jun, Mapk8, caspase-3 and an inflammatory cytokine IL-1β was observed. These changes of expression were accompanied by the decrease of quantity of IL-1β receptors and the level of TNFα in cells in control, as well as 24 h after OGD. Besides, BDNF overexpression changes the expression of GABA(B) receptors. Also, the expression of NMDA and AMPA receptor subunits was altered towards a change in the conductivity of the receptors for Ca2+. Conclusion: Thus, our results demonstrate that neuronal BDNF overexpression reveals complex neuroprotective effects on the neurons and astrocytes under OGD and GluTox via inhibition of Ca2+ responses and regulation of gene expression.

description: We present the Andean Social–Ecological Observatory Network (ROSA, for Red de Observatorios Socioecológicos Andinos), a continent-wide monitoring initiative established to address major challenges in the management of knowledge on social–ecological systems (SES) in the Andes. The Andes, the longest mountain chain in the world, provide key ecosystem services for human wellbeing across the continent. However, the region faces multiple impacts associated with climate change and land-use change related to demographic transitions, and thus long-term monitoring is key for developing adaptation strategies to this environmental change. ROSA constitutes a bottom-up initiative to systematize and integrate social and ecological monitoring efforts into observatories, and to do so under a coproduced framework that fosters science–policy dialogue and promotes sustainable land management. The main research questions addressed by these social–ecological observatories include understanding how distant and proximate drivers of change interact with local social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts to influence the functioning of different SES in the Andes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. We describe the origins, structure, objectives, and strategies of ROSA and key challenges faced by different monitoring networks working in the region with regard to data generation and knowledge transfer. Currently, ROSA consists of 8 nodal observatories, comprising more than 50 monitoring initiatives focused on hydroclimate, ecological, and land-use dimensions. The bottom-up structure of ROSA is founded on proven expertise in long-term data gathering and analyses and on the strong commitment of nodal monitoring groups. Effective codesign and participatory monitoring are being developed so that ROSA can contribute to knowledge coproduction for sustainable land management.

description: A comprehensive theory of interfacial fluctuation effects occurring at 2D wedge (corner) filling transitions in pure (thermal disorder) and impure (random bond-disorder) systems is presented. Scaling theory and the explicit results of transfer matrix and replica trick studies of interfacial Hamiltonian models reveal that, for almost all examples of intermolecular forces, the critical behaviour at filling is fluctuation-dominated, characterised by universal critical exponents and scaling functions that depend only on the wandering exponent $ζ$. Within this filling fluctuation (FFL) regime, the critical behaviour of the mid-point interfacial height, probability distribution function, local compressibility and wedge free energy are identical to corresponding quantities predicted for the strong-fluctuation (SFL) regime for critical wetting transitions at planar walls. In particular the wedge free energy is related to the SFL regime point tension which is calculated for systems with random-bond disorder using the replica trick. The connection with the SFL regime for all these quantities can be expressed precisely in terms of special wedge covariance relations which complement standard scaling theory and restrict the allowed values of the critical exponents for both FFL filling and SFL critical wetting.

description: GuardIAS is a three-year Horizon Europe project starting in January 2025, uniting diverse expertise to address aquatic invasive alien species (IAS) management. This multidisciplinary initiative comprises seven interconnected work packages targeting all invasion stages (pre-border, border, post-border) to develop tools for disrupting invasions. GuardIAS will employ Artificial Intelligence and data workflows to enhance biodiversity databases with species distributions, environmental tolerances, traits, and genetic information, thereby improving the European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN) and harmonizing key datasets. The citizen science platform iNaturalist will be enriched with expert-verified images of aquatic IAS for early detection and monitoring of geographic spread. An Early Warning System focused on IAS of EU concern will be developed and integrated into EASIN. To prevent hull biofouling-a major IAS introduction pathway-GuardIAS will explore nanotechnology-based antifouling coatings. The project will also investigate recreational boat movements along European coastlines, an understudied factor in IAS secondary dispersal. An eDNA reference library and assay panel will be developed for effective IAS detection. Advanced models, such as the Nobel Prize winning Multi-Region Input-Output analysis, will assess IAS risks, including impacts on threatened species and critical habitats under current and future scenarios. Systematic conservation planning tools will prioritize IAS monitoring and management actions based on their impacts. GuardIAS will enhance data collection, monitoring, early detection, and public awareness through innovative citizen science initiatives like BioArtBlitz events-where arts serve as a communication vehicle- eDNA sampling, sound analysis projects on Zooniverse, and marina events for boaters. Stakeholder engagement will be fostered through applied games. Collaborating with environmental authorities, industry, and aquatic managers, the project will co-design and implement eradication and control efforts in marine and freshwater environments. By integrating Social Sciences and Humanities, GuardIAS will promote collaborative knowledge creation, understand public perceptions on IAS management, and facilitate exploitation of the project's outcomes.
Impact of $^{16}$O($e,e'α$)$^{12}$C measurements on the $^{12}$C($α,γ$)$^{16}$O astrophysical reaction rate

description: The $^{12}$C($α,γ$)$^{16}$O reaction, an important component of stellar helium burning, has a key role in nuclear astrophysics. It has direct impact on the evolution and final state of massive stars and also influences the elemental abundances resulting from nucleosynthesis in such stars. Providing a reliable estimate for the energy dependence of this reaction at stellar helium burning temperatures has been a longstanding and important goal. In this work, we study the role of potential new measurements of the reaction, $^{16}$O($e,e'α$)$^{12}$C reaction, in reducing the overall uncertainty. A multilevel $R$-matrix analysis is used to make extrapolations of the astrophysical S factor for the $^{12}$C($α,γ$)$^{16}$O reaction to the stellar energy of 300 keV. The statistical precision of the $S$-factor extrapolation is determined by performing multiple fits to existing $E1$ and $E2$ ground state capture data, including the impact of possible future measurements of the $^{16}$O($e,e'α$)$^{12}$C reaction. In particular, we consider a proposed MIT experiment that would make use of a high-intensity low-energy electron beam that impinges on a windowless oxygen gas target as a means to determine the total $E1$ and $E2$ cross sections for this reaction.

description: Context. Hot Jupiters (HJs) with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, which lead to the possible ejection of other planets. TOI-2109 b is special in this regard because it is the HJ with the closest relative separation from its host star, being separated by less than 2.3 stellar radii. Unexpectedly, transit timing measurements from recently obtained CHEOPS observations show low-amplitude transit-timing variations (TTVs). Aims. We aim to search for signs of orbital decay and to characterise the apparent TTVs in an attempt to gain information about a possible companion. Methods. We fitted the newly obtained CHEOPS light curves using TLCM and extracted the resulting mid-transit timings. Successively, we used these measurements in combination with TESS and archival photometric data and radial velocity (RV) data to estimate the rate of tidal orbital decay of TOI-2109 b, and also to characterise the TTVs using the N-body code TRADES and the photo-dynamical approach of PyTTV. Results. We find tentative evidence at 3σ for orbital decay in the TOI-2109 system when we correct the mid-transit timings using the best-fitting sinusoidal model of the TTVs. We do not detect additional transits in the available photometric data, but find evidence supporting the authenticity of the apparent TTVs, indicating a close-by, outer companion with Pc > 1.125 d. Due to the fast rotation of the star, the new planetary candidate cannot be detected in the available RV measurements, and its parameters can only be loosely constrained by our joint TTV and RV modelling. Conclusions. TOI-2109 could join a small group of rare HJ systems that host close-by planetary companions, only one of which (WASP-47 b) has an outer companion. More high-precision photometric measurements are necessary to confirm the existence of this planetary companion.

description: Pre-Big-Bang models in string cosmology predict a relic background of gravitational wave radiation in the early universe. The spectrum of this background shows that the energy density rises rapidly with frequency, which is an interesting target for high-frequency (i.e., kilohertz) detectors. In this paper, we discussed the constraining power of multiple configurations of current and future gravitational wave detector (GWD) networks to the stochastic background predicted in string cosmology. The constraining power is jointly determined by the overlap reduction function and the sensitivity curves of multiple detectors. And we further elaborated on the possible contribution of a future Chinese detector and a kilohertz detector to the constraining power of detector network for stochastic background in string cosmology. Our results show that the detectability of the GWD network for the string cosmology gravitational wave background will improve considerably with the joining of a Chinese detector. This is because a Chinese detector (e.g. located at Wuhan ) together with KAGRA, has a better overlap reduction function than the laser interferometer gravitational wave observatory detector pair, and therefore lead to more stringent limits for stochastic background detection. And with ideal overlap reduction function, namely, colocated detectors, a kilohertz sensitivity curve has better performance than previous detectors for stochastic background detection. Finally, the results are compared with the limitations given by the observational constraint of the Big Bang nucleosynthesis bound.

description: The Australian wheat industry is an important contributor to the Australian economy and farm sector. This paper investigates the determinants of land use in wheat production for the Australian wheat-sheep zone. Land allocation between the wheat and the wool enterprises are considered in view of maximizing the expected farm profit. Wheat area supply response, is estimated across the wheat-sheep zone using data for the period 1990-2004. The statistical results indicate that the wheat growers in the Western Australia are more (relative expected) price responsive than the growers in the eastern states. Current wheat area is highly depended on the previous year’s wheat area and the area adjustment is also not significantly different between the regions. Estimates for the wheat own-price and the cross-price elasticities are with the expected signs and all less than unity, though the cross-price elasticities are more inelastic. Wheat yield is positively influenced by the area sown. Rainfall also has positive influence on the wheat yield but the time-related exogenous factors had only minor influence on the yield. The results are discussed in view of providing guidance for the decision on the land use. The paper also discusses the econometric approaches for analysing larger sample size (data).

description: Oil and gas have been produced on the Norwegian continental shelf since 1971. Exploration rates, extraction rates, employment, expertise levels, exports of oil and gas have all increased many fold during 1971-­‐2013. The State has several roles in the Norwegian petroleum sector including basic research provider, allocator of exploration rights, investor, infrastructure owner, taxation collector, Sovereign Wealth Fund owner. In this paper I review the development of the petroleum sector in Norway, and highlight the various roles of the State in the development of the sector. The paper provides an overview of the macroeconomic importance of oil and gas in the Norwegian economy and critiques selected petroleum related policies.

description: New Zealand’s total land area is approximately 26.8 million hectares, of which 8.5 million hectares are administered by the Department of Conservation (DOC). DOC recognises that it needs to partner with others to achieve its outcome statement. The purpose of this paper is to present three case studies where DOC is partnering with community groups so that the local community can gain environmental, social and economic benefits in line with the Department’s outcome statement. The authors had previous knowledge of the three case studies and received a small amount of funding from DOC to allow some follow-up interviews with key stakeholders in each of the case studies. The paper is presented in four main parts. Part 1 describes the research questions asked in the stakeholder interviews and explains their purpose. Parts 2, 3 and 4 present the three case studies: The Oparara Valley Project Trust; The Otago Central Rail Trail; and the Kiwi Ranger programme. The paper finishes with a summary of the major common themes revealed through these case studies.

description: Let R be a regular local ring of dimension d, I an ideal of R, and M a finitely generated R-module of dimension n. We prove that the set of associated primes of Ext^i_R(R/I,H^j_I(M)) is finite for all i and j in the following cases: (1) dim M\le 3; (2) dim R\le 4; (3) dim M/IM \le 2 and M satisfies Serre's condition S_{n-3}; (4) dim M/IM\le 3, R is unramified, and M is faithful and satisfies S_{n-3}. We also prove that if dim R/I\ge 2 and the punctured spectrum of R/I is disconnected then H^{d-1}_I(R) is not I-cofinite. This generalizes a result due to Huneke and Koh.

description: Most applications of applied welfare analysis to measuring the returns to agricultural R&D still model the shift in supply and adoption patterns at a relatively aggregated level. Some still use mathematical manipulation of the nature of the supply shift to offset suspected aggregation errors. This paper briefly reviews the issues involved and highlights the importance of a disaggregated analysis to overcome any such expected errors. It is shown that not only does simple disaggregation overcome concerns with mathematical manipulation but it also enhances our ability to better model the adoption of research outputs by separating the applicability of the technology from other factors which influence adoption. This leads to some important insights which facilitate better understanding of the final outcomes and impacts of research outputs. An empirical application of the proposed disaggregated modelling to an ex post impact assessment study of short duration, fusarium wilt resistant chickpea breeding by ICRISAT and NARS partners is used to illustrate some important issues. It is shown that if the analysis is disaggregated to more realistically represent the applicability of research outputs and adoption using heterogeneous production and decision-making environments the results provide a better understanding of the impacts. This is accomplished by disaggregation based on different categories of adopters as well as differences in their underlying production environments. In addition the understanding of the distribution of welfare gains between producers and consumers is shown to be significantly different to the results for an aggregated analysis, with some policy implications being different to those drawn in many past studies. For example, even for the situation when the relative elasticity’s are such that an aggregate analysis suggests consumers are the primary beneficiaries of agricultural research, a disaggregated analysis reveals that producers who adopt the technologies may gain considerably more than consumers, but this is offset by significant welfare losses for the non-adopting producers.

description: Usually, duodenal barriers are investigated using intestinal cell lines like Caco-2, which in contrast to native tissue are limited in cell-type representation. Organoids can consist of all intestinal cell types and are supposed to better reflect the in vivo situation. Growing three-dimensionally, with the apical side facing the lumen, application of typical physiological techniques to analyze the barrier is difficult. Organoid-derived monolayers (ODMs) were developed to overcome this. After optimizing culturing conditions, ODMs were characterized and compared to Caco-2 and duodenal tissue. Tight junction composition and appearance were analyzed, and electrophysiological barrier properties, like paracellular and transcellular barrier function and macromolecule permeability, were evaluated. Furthermore, transcriptomic data were analyzed. ODMs had tight junction protein expression and paracellular barrier properties much more resembling the originating tissue than Caco-2. Transcellular barrier was similar between ODMs and native tissue but was increased in Caco-2. Transcriptomic data showed that Caco-2 expressed fewer solute carriers than ODMs and native tissue. In conclusion, while Caco-2 cells differ mostly in transcellular properties, ODMs reflect trans- and paracellular properties of the originating tissue. If cultured under optimized conditions, ODMs possess reproducible functionality, and the variety of different cell types makes them a suitable model for human tissue-specific investigations.
Phenomenology of the generalized cubic covariant Galileon model and cosmological bounds

description: We investigate the generalized cubic covariant Galileon model, a kinetically driven dark energy model within the Horndeski class of theories. The model extends the cubic covariant Galileon by including power laws of the field derivatives in the K-essence and cubic terms which still allow for tracker solutions. We study the shape of the viable parameter space by enforcing stability conditions which include the absence of ghost, gradient and tachyon instabilities and the avoidance of strong coupling at early time. We study here the relevant effects of the modifications induced by the model on some cosmological observables such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the lensing potential auto-correlation and the matter power spectrum. For this goal, we perform parameter estimation using data of CMB temperature and polarization, baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), redshift-space distortions (RSD), supernovae type Ia (SNIa) and Cepheids. Data analysis with CMB alone finds that the today's Hubble parameter $H_0$ is consistent with its determination from Cepheids at $1σ$, resolving the famous tension of the cosmological standard models. The joint analysis of CMB, BAO, RSD and SNIa sets a lower bound for the sum of neutrino masses which is $Σm_ν>0.11$ eV at 1$σ$, in addition to the usual upper limit. The model selection analysis based on the effective $χ_\text{eff}^2$ and Deviance Information Criterion is not able to clearly identify the statistically favored model between $Λ$CDM and the generalized cubic covariant Galileon, from which we conclude that the latter model deserves further studies.

description: Context. Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as ‘lonely’ and only a few are in a multi-planet system with a smaller companion on a close orbit. The processes that formed multi-planet systems hosting gas giants on close orbits are poorly understood, and only a few examples of this kind of system have been observed and well characterised. Aims. Within the contest of a multi-planet system hosting a gas giant on short orbits, we characterise the TOI-1130 system by measuring masses and orbital parameters. This is a two-transiting planet system with a Jupiter-like planet (c) on a 8.35 days orbit and a Neptune-like planet (b) on an inner (4.07 days) orbit. Both planets show strong anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs). Furthermore, radial velocity (RV) analysis showed an additional linear trend, a possible hint of a non-transiting candidate planet on a far outer orbit. Methods. Since 2019, extensive transit and radial velocity observations of the TOI-1130 have been acquired using TESS and various ground-based facilities. We present a new photo-dynamical analysis of all available transit and RV data, with the addition of new CHEOPS and ASTEP+ data, which achieve the best precision to date on the planetary radii and masses and on the timings of each transit. Results. We were able to model interior structure of planet b constraining the presence of a gaseous envelope of H/He, while it was not possible to assess the possible water content. Furthermore, we analysed the resonant state of the two transiting planets, and we found that they lie just outside the resonant region. This could be the result of the tidal evolution that the system underwent. We obtained both masses of the planets with a precision of less than 1.5%, and radii with a precision of about 1% and 3% for planet b and c, respectively.
