The ALPINE-ALMA [CII] survey. The nature, luminosity function, and star formation history of dusty galaxies up to z ≃ 6
Cimatti, A.; Pozzi, F.; Rodighiero, G. +30 more
Aims: We present the detailed characterisation of a sample of 56 sources serendipitously detected in ALMA band 7 as part of the ALMA Large Program to INvestigate CII at Early Times (ALPINE). These sources, detected in COSMOS and ECDFS, have been used to derive the total infrared luminosity function (LF) and to estimate the cosmic star formati…
Dust masses of young disks: constraining the initial solid reservoir for planet formation
Manara, Carlo F.; van Dishoeck, Ewine F.; Rosotti, Giovanni P. +7 more
Context. Recent years have seen building evidence that planet formation starts early, in the first ~0.5 Myr. Studying the dust masses available in young disks enables us to understand the origin of planetary systems given that mature disks are lacking the solid material necessary to reproduce the observed exoplanetary systems, especially the massi…
The Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on Solar Orbiter
Schmidt, W.; Woch, J.; Solanki, S. K. +121 more
Aims: This paper describes the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on the Solar Orbiter mission (SO/PHI), the first magnetograph and helioseismology instrument to observe the Sun from outside the Sun-Earth line. It is the key instrument meant to address the top-level science question: How does the solar dynamo work and drive connections betw…
From the bulge to the outer disc: StarHorse stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions for stars in APOGEE DR16 and other spectroscopic surveys
Schultheis, M.; Minniti, D.; Bizyaev, D. +27 more
We combine high-resolution spectroscopic data from APOGEE-2 survey Data Release 16 (DR16) with broad-band photometric data from several sources as well as parallaxes from Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2). Using the Bayesian isochrone-fitting code StarHorse, we derived the distances, extinctions, and astrophysical parameters for around 388 815 APOGEE star…
The Energetic Particle Detector. Energetic particle instrument suite for the Solar Orbiter mission
Kulkarni, S. R.; Lario, D.; Wang, L. +96 more
After decades of observations of solar energetic particles from space-based observatories, relevant questions on particle injection, transport, and acceleration remain open. To address these scientific topics, accurate measurements of the particle properties in the inner heliosphere are needed. In this paper we describe the Energetic Particle Dete…
The stellar-to-halo mass relation over the past 12 Gyr. I. Standard ΛCDM model
Bolzonella, M.; Giocoli, C.; Marulli, F. +3 more
Aims: Understanding the link between the galaxy properties and the dark matter halos they reside in and their coevolution is a powerful tool for constraining the processes related to galaxy formation. In particular, the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) and its evolution throughout the history of the Universe provides insights on galaxy fo…
Public HARPS radial velocity database corrected for systematic errors
Trifonov, Trifon; Mazeh, Tsevi; Zechmeister, Mathias +3 more
Context. The High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) spectrograph has been mounted since 2003 at the ESO 3.6 m telescope in La Silla and provides state-of-the-art stellar radial velocity (RV) measurements with a precision down to ∼1 m s-1. The spectra are extracted with a dedicated data-reduction software (DRS), and the RV…
CARMENES input catalogue of M dwarfs. V. Luminosities, colours, and spectral energy distributions
Amado, P. J.; Caballero, J. A.; Reiners, A. +15 more
Context. The relevance of M dwarfs in the search for potentially habitable Earth-sized planets has grown significantly in the last years.
Aims: In our on-going effort to comprehensively and accurately characterise confirmed and potential planet-hosting M dwarfs, in particular for the CARMENES survey, we have carried out a comprehensive multi-…
Tracing the total molecular gas in galaxies: [CII] and the CO-dark gas
Ramambason, L.; Lebouteiller, V.; Madden, S. C. +11 more
Context. Molecular gas is a necessary fuel for star formation. The CO (1-0) transition is often used to deduce the total molecular hydrogen but is challenging to detect in low-metallicity galaxies in spite of the star formation taking place. In contrast, the [C II]λ158 µm is relatively bright, highlighting a potentially important reservoir o…
Probing cosmic isotropy with a new X-ray galaxy cluster sample through the LX-T scaling relation
Lovisari, L.; Pacaud, F.; Ramos-Ceja, M. E. +3 more
The isotropy of the late Universe and consequently of the X-ray galaxy cluster scaling relations is an assumption greatly used in astronomy. However, within the last decade, many studies have reported deviations from isotropy when using various cosmological probes; a definitive conclusion has yet to be made. New, effective and independent methods …
