Atmospheric characterization of exoplanets from the ground is an actively growing field of research. In this context, we have created the ATMOSPHERIX consortium: a research project aimed at characterizing exoplanets atmospheres using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy. This paper presents the publicly available data analysis pipeline and demonstrates the robustness of the recovered planetary parameters from synthetic data. Simulating planetary transits using synthetic transmission spectra of a hot Jupiter that were injected into real SPIRou observations of the non-transiting system Gl 15 A, we show that our pipeline is successful at recovering the planetary signal and input atmospheric parameters. We also introduce a deep learning algorithm to optimize data reduction which proves to be a reliable, alternative tool to the commonly used principal component analysis. We estimate the level of uncertainties and possible biases when retrieving parameters such as temperature and composition and hence the level of confidence in the case of retrieval from real data. Finally, we apply our pipeline onto two real transits of HD 189733 b observed with SPIRou and obtain similar results than in the literature. In summary, we have developed a publicly available and robust pipeline for the forthcoming studies of the targets to be observed in the framework of the ATMOSPHERIX consortium, which can easily be adapted to other high resolution instruments than SPIRou (e.g. VLT-CRIRES, MAROON-X, ELT-ANDES).

This document is a correction to a previous paper titled "The cosmic dipole in the Quaia sample of quasars: a Bayesian analysis." The correction addresses an error in the calculation of the distribution of spectral indices in the original paper. The correction provides the corrected equations and figures to replace the incorrect ones in the original work. The correction also impacts the relative Bayesian evidences of different hypotheses, which are presented in tables in the document. Based on the tables provided, the conclusions of the original work have been slightly altered. The relative ordering of each model in terms of evidential power remains the same, with the kinematic dipole (model M6) being the prevailing model. However, the support for M6 compared to the next-favored model, M4, is slightly reduced. The conclusions in section 6.3 of the original work need to be replaced, as the choice of prior has an impact on the results. The Quaia sample still strongly favors a dipole aligning with the direction of the CMB dipole, but the amplitude is not as decisive. Future research is needed to further investigate this matter. The authors acknowledge Nathan Secrest for pointing out an error in their original work and thank the European Space Agency for providing data. [Extracted from the article]

The article titled "Appreciating mergers for understanding the non-linear Mbh−M*,spheroid and Mbh−M*,galaxy relations, updated herein, and the implications for the (reduced) role of AGN feedback" by Alister W Graham and Nandini Sahu discusses an error in equations 4 and 5 of a previous paper. The error resulted in the use of the wrong initial mass function (IMF) for calculating stellar masses. The paper clarifies that this error does not affect the conclusions of the previous paper, but it is important to know which IMF was used for normalization purposes. The article provides IMF conversion factors to make the relations consistent with the intended IMF. [Extracted from the article]

This document is a correction to a previous article titled "3D simulations of photochemical hazes in the atmosphere of hot Jupiter HD 189733b." The correction addresses two errors in equation (7) of the original paper, specifically the sign of a term and the prefactor in front of the curly brackets. These errors occurred during the transfer of equations from handwritten notes to the manuscript. The correction clarifies that the python code used for the analysis in section 4 of the paper used the correct version of the equations, and none of the other results in the paper are affected by these errors. The correction is authored by Maria E Steinrueck, Adam P Showman, Panayotis Lavvas, Tommi Koskinen, Xianyu Tan, and Xi Zhang. [Extracted from the article]

This document is a correction to a previously published paper titled "Why the observed spin evolution of older-than-solar-like stars might not require a dynamo mode change." The correction addresses minor typographical errors that do not impact the results of the paper but could cause confusion in reproducing the calculations. Specifically, the correction involves changing the notation for stellar mass and radius in subsection 2.3. The corrected notation uses m⊙* and r⊙* to represent normalized values to solar mass and solar radius. The authors of the paper are Ketevan Kotorashvili, Eric G Blackman, and James E Owen.

This article is a correction to a previous paper on the collisional rate coefficients for H3O+ - H2 interactions in warm interstellar clouds. The authors discovered errors in the supplementary material of their previous paper, which were caused by a software bug in the calculations of high energy cross sections. The corrections made to the data have a minor impact on the rate coefficients at lower temperatures, but some specific transitions are significantly affected at higher temperatures. However, these corrections do not change the overall conclusions of the original paper. The corrected data is available in the supplementary material and through various databases.

This document is a correction to a previously published paper titled "GMRT observations of the radio trail from CXOU J163802.6 − 471358." The correction addresses errors in the resolutions of the GMRT images provided in the caption of Figure 1 and in Section 2 of the paper. The correct resolutions at 1387.5 MHz are 6.0 × 3.1 arcsec2 at a position angle of 24○, and at 322.8 MHz they are 16.5 × 8.0 arcsec2 at a position angle of 8○. The correction does not impact the conclusions of the paper. [Extracted from the article]

This document is a correction to a previous paper published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The original paper contained incorrect values in table 1, which could lead to incorrect results if used to correct Gaia DR2 data for extinction. The correct values, based on a grid of Kurucz model spectra, the extinction law of Fitzpatrick et al., and the revised Gaia DR2 photometric passbands, have been made available. The authors confirm that the conclusions of the original paper remain unchanged. [Extracted from the article]

The article titled "Correction to: Redshift drift and strong gravitational lensing" acknowledges a mistake made in a recent paper by the author. The mistake relates to the measurement of the Hubble constant using the difference in redshift between images of a gravitational-lens system. The author clarifies that the redshift difference can still be used to measure other cosmological parameters without knowledge of the Hubble constant. The rest of the paper remains unaffected, discussing various aspects of standard cosmology and gravitational lensing. No new data is associated with the article. [Extracted from the article]
