The ALPINE-ALMA [CII] survey. Obscured star formation rate density and main sequence of star-forming galaxies at z > 4

Star formation rate (SFR) measurements at z > 4 have relied mostly on the rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV) observations. The corrections for dust attenuation based on the IRX-β relation are highly uncertain and are still debated in the literature. Hence, rest-frame far-infrared (FIR) observations are necessary to constrain the dust-obscured com…

Characterizing the dust content of disk substructures in TW Hydrae
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039812 Bibcode: 2021A&A...648A..33M

Huang, J.; Ribas, Á.; Carrasco-González, C. +4 more

Context. A key piece of information to understand the origin and role of protoplanetary disk substructures is their dust content. In particular, disk substructures associated with gas pressure bumps can work as dust traps, accumulating grains and reaching the necessary conditions to trigger the streaming instability.
Aims: In order to shed so…

Gaia Early Data Release 3. The Galactic anticentre
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039714 Bibcode: 2021A&A...649A...8G

Prusti, T.; Mazeh, T.; Zucker, S. +417 more


Aims: We aim to demonstrate the scientific potential of the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) for the study of different aspects of the Milky Way structure and evolution and we provide, at the same time, a description of several practical aspects of the data and examples of their usage.
Methods: We used astrometric positions, proper motio…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Stellar atmospheric parameters of target stars with SteParSyn
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202141980 Bibcode: 2021A&A...656A.162M

Nagel, E.; Amado, P. J.; Caballero, J. A. +24 more

We determined effective temperatures, surface gravities, and metallicities for a sample of 343 M dwarfs observed with CARMENES, the double-channel, high-resolution spectrograph installed at the 3.5 m telescope at Calar Alto Observatory. We employed SteParSyn, a Bayesian spectral synthesis implementation particularly designed to infer the stellar a…

The VANDELS ESO public spectroscopic survey. Final data release of 2087 spectra and spectroscopic measurements
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202040059 Bibcode: 2021A&A...647A.150G

Maccagni, D.; Cimatti, A.; Elbaz, D. +94 more

VANDELS is an ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey designed to build a sample of high-signal-to-noise ratio, medium-resolution spectra of galaxies at redshifts between 1 and 6.5. Here we present the final Public Data Release of the VANDELS Survey, comprising 2087 redshift measurements. We provide a detailed description of sample selection, observations…

SPECULOOS: Ultracool dwarf transit survey. Target list and strategy
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038827 Bibcode: 2021A&A...645A.100S

Queloz, D.; Delrez, L.; Gillon, M. +20 more

Context. One of the most promising avenues for the detailed study of temperate Earth-sized exoplanets is the detection of such planets in transit in front of stars that are small and near enough to make it possible to carry out a thorough atmospheric characterisation with next-generation telescopes, such as the James Webb Space telescope (JWST) or…

The LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey: Deep Fields Data Release 1. IV. Photometric redshifts and stellar masses
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038809 Bibcode: 2021A&A...648A...4D

Bondi, M.; Prandoni, I.; Bowler, R. A. A. +21 more

The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is a sensitive, high-resolution 120-168 MHz survey split across multiple tiers over the northern sky. The first LoTSS Deep Fields data release consists of deep radio continuum imaging at 150 MHz of the Boötes, European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory Survey-North 1, and Lockman Hol…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields. The star-formation rate-radio luminosity relation at low frequencies
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039343 Bibcode: 2021A&A...648A...6S

Bondi, M.; Prandoni, I.; Wang, L. +17 more

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between 150 MHz luminosity and the star-formation rate - the SFR-L150 MHz relation - using 150 MHz measurements for a near-infrared selected sample of 118 517 z < 1 galaxies. New radio survey data offer compelling advantages over previous generation surveys for studying star formation in…

Warm terrestrial planet with half the mass of Venus transiting a nearby star

Bouchy, F.; Rebolo, R.; Pallé, E. +42 more

In recent years, the advent of a new generation of radial velocity instruments has allowed us to detect planets with increasingly lower mass and to break the one Earth-mass barrier. Here we report a new milestone in this context by announcing the detection of the lowest-mass planet measured so far using radial velocities: L 98-59 b, a rocky planet…

Three Lyman-α-emitting filaments converging to a massive galaxy group at z = 2.91: discussing the case for cold gas infall
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038700 Bibcode: 2021A&A...649A..78D

We have discovered a 300 kpc-wide giant Lyman-α (Lyα) nebula centered on the massive galaxy group RO-1001 at z = 2.91 in the Cosmic Evolution Survey field. Keck Cosmic Web Imager observations reveal three cold gas filaments converging into the center of the potential well of its ∼4 × 1013 M dark matter halo, hosting 1200 M
