Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new aspheric ablation profile for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter study included patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using a new aspheric ablation profile of the Technolas Teneo 317 (Model 2) excimer laser (version 1.28 US SW) by Technolas Perfect Vision, Bausch+Lomb, Inc.

Article Synopsis
  • The study discovered a Neptune-mass exoplanet orbiting the low-mass star LHS 3154, which is significantly less massive than the Sun.
  • The exoplanet has a short orbital period of 3.7 days and a minimum mass of 13.2 Earth masses, challenging existing theories of planet formation.
  • Simulations indicate that the high mass ratio between the planet and its star is unexpected, suggesting that close-in Neptune-mass planets would require much more dust in the protoplanetary disk than typically found around such low-mass stars.

Capturing planets in the act of losing their atmospheres provides rare opportunities to probe their evolution history. This analysis has been enabled by observations of the helium triplet at 10,833 angstrom, but past studies have focused on the narrow time window right around the planet's optical transit. We monitored the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32 b using high-resolution spectroscopy from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope covering the planet's full orbit.

At a distance of 1.295 parsecs, the red dwarf Proxima Centauri (α Centauri C, GL 551, HIP 70890 or simply Proxima) is the Sun's closest stellar neighbour and one of the best-studied low-mass stars. It has an effective temperature of only around 3,050 kelvin, a luminosity of 0.
