Aims: In this work we present the results of our analysis of 16 300 medium-resolution LAMOST spectra of late-type stars in the Kepler field with the aim of determining the stellar parameters, activity level, lithium atmospheric content, and binarity.
Methods: We have used a version of the code ROTFIT specifically developed for the LAMOST…

On the dynamical evolution of Cepheids in star clusters
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202142134 Bibcode: 2022A&A...659A.169D

Anderson, Richard I.; Kroupa, Pavel; Dinnbier, František

We investigated the occurrence of classical (type-I) Cepheid variable stars (henceforth Cepheids) in dynamically evolving star clusters from birth to an age of approximately 300 Myr. The clusters are modelled by the Aarseth code NBODY6, and they feature a realistic stellar initial mass function and initial binary star population, single star and b…

Automatic detection of small-scale EUV brightenings observed by the Solar Orbiter/EUI
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243257 Bibcode: 2022A&A...663A.128A

Barczynski, K.; Chitta, L. P.; Zhukov, A. N. +23 more

Context. Accurate detections of frequent small-scale extreme ultraviolet (EUV) brightenings are essential to the investigation of the physical processes heating the corona.
Aims: We detected small-scale brightenings, termed campfires, using their morphological and intensity structures as observed in coronal EUV imaging observations for statis…

The APEX Large CO Heterodyne Orion Legacy Survey (ALCOHOLS). I. Survey overview
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201937034 Bibcode: 2022A&A...658A.178S

Smith, M. D.; Eislöffel, J.; Williams, J. P. +29 more

Context. The Orion molecular cloud complex harbours the nearest Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) and the nearest site of high-mass star formation. Its young star and protostar populations are thoroughly characterized. The region is therefore a prime target for the study of star formation.
Aims: Here, we verify the performance of the SuperCAM 64 …

A warm super-Neptune around the G-dwarf star TOI-1710 revealed with TESS, SOPHIE, and HARPS-N
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202143002 Bibcode: 2022A&A...666A.183K

Deleuil, M.; Moutou, C.; Carmona, A. +50 more

We report the discovery and characterization of the transiting extrasolar planet TOI-1710 b. It was first identified as a promising candidate by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Its planetary nature was then established with SOPHIE and HARPS-N spectroscopic observations via the radial-velocity method. The stellar parameters for the host …

Exploring X-ray variability with unsupervised machine learning. I. Self-organizing maps applied to XMM-Newton data
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202142444 Bibcode: 2022A&A...659A..66K

Salvaterra, R.; Belfiore, A.; Marelli, M. +3 more

Context. XMM-Newton provides unprecedented insight into the X-ray Universe, recording variability information for hundreds of thousands of sources. Manually searching for interesting patterns in light curves is impractical, requiring an automated data-mining approach for the characterization of sources.
Aims: Straightforward fitting of tempor…

Spatially resolved mass-metallicity relation at z ∼ 0.26 from the MUSE-Wide Survey
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243104 Bibcode: 2022A&A...661A.112Y

Lin, Zesen; Chen, Guangwen; Kong, Xu +5 more


Aims: Galaxies in the local universe have a spatially resolved star-forming main sequence (rSFMS) and mass-metallicity relation (rMZR). We know that the global mass-metallicity relation (MZR) results from the integral of the rMZR, and it evolves with redshift. However, the evolution of the rMZR with redshift is still unclear because the spati…

Kuzuhara, M.; Tamura, M.; Kudo, T. +45 more

Context. Despite being a prominent subset of the exoplanet population discovered in the past three decades, the nature and provenance of sub-Neptune-sized planets is still one of the open questions in exoplanet science.
Aims: For planets orbiting bright stars, precisely measuring the orbital and planet parameters of the system is the best app…

Durret, F.; Márquez, I.; Sarron, F. +1 more

Context. Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are very massive elliptical galaxies found at the centres of clusters. Their study gives clues to the formation and evolution of the clusters in which they are embedded.
Aims: We analyse here in a homogeneous way the properties of a sample of more than 1000 BCGs in the redshift range 0.15 < z <…

HD 20329b: An ultra-short-period planet around a solar-type star found by TESS
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244459 Bibcode: 2022A&A...668A.158M

Pallé, E.; Dai, F.; Gandolfi, D. +45 more

Context. Ultra-short-period (USP) planets are defined as planets with orbital periods shorter than one day. This type of planets is rare, highly irradiated, and interesting because their formation history is unknown.
Aims: We aim to obtain precise mass and radius measurements to confirm the planetary nature of a USP candidate found by the Tra…
