A first systematic characterization of cataclysmic variables in SRG/eROSITA surveys
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450537 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.243S

Salvato, M.; Stelzer, B.; Schwope, A. D. +4 more

We present an account of known cataclysmic variables (CVs) that were detected as X-ray sources in eROSITA X-ray surveys and have Gaia DR3 counterparts. We address standard CVs with main sequence donors and white dwarfs accreting via Roche-lobe overflow (RLOF) and related objects, the double degenerates (DDs), and the symbiotic stars (SySts). We di…

JWST Observations of Young protoStars (JOYS): Overview of gaseous molecular emission and absorption in low-mass protostars
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451967 Bibcode: 2024A&A...692A.197V

Context. The Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) allows one to probe the molecular gas composition at mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelengths with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. It is important to study these features in low-mass embedded protostellar systems, since the formation of planets is thought…

The bar pattern speed of the Large Magellanic Cloud
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347266 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A.102J

Castro-Ginard, A.; Luri, X.; Chemin, L. +6 more

Context. The internal kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been studied in unprecedented depth thanks to the excellent quality of the Gaia mission data, thus revealing the disc's non-axisymmetric structure.
Aims: We seek to constrain the LMC bar pattern speed using the astrometric and spectroscopic data from the Gaia mission. <…

SN 2020pvb: A Type IIn-P supernova with a precursor outburst
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348790 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A..13E

Lundqvist, P.; Gal-Yam, A.; Geier, S. +37 more

We present photometric and spectroscopic datasets for SN 2020pvb, a Type IIn-P supernova (SN) that is similar to SNe 1994W, 2005cl, 2009kn, and 2011ht, with a precursor outburst detected (PS1 w band ∼-13.8 mag) around four months before the B-band maximum light. SN 2020pvb presents a relatively bright light curve that peaked at MB = −17…

G321.3–3.9: A new supernova remnant observed with multi-band radio data and in the SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Surveys
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348962 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.278M

Nicastro, L.; Becker, W.; Hurley-Walker, N. +3 more

Aims. G321.3–3.9 was first identified as a partial shell at radio frequencies a few decades ago. Although it continued to be observed, no additional studies were undertaken until recently. Methods. In this paper, we present results from a large selection of radio and X-ray data that cover the position of G321.3–3.9. We confirmed G321.3–3.9 as a ne…

Understanding the star formation efficiency in dense gas: Initial results from the CAFFEINE survey with ArTéMiS
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449908 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A.163M

Roussel, H.; André, Ph.; Arzoumanian, D. +9 more

Context. Despite recent progress, the question of what regulates the star formation efficiency (SFE) in galaxies remains one of the most debated problems in astrophysics. According to the dominant picture, star formation (SF) is regulated by turbulence and feedback, and the SFE is ~1-2% or less per local free-fall time on all scales from Galactic …

Small-scale magnetic flux emergence preceding a chain of energetic solar atmospheric events
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348894 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.218N

Rouppe van der Voort, L. H. M.; Joshi, R.; Froment, C. +4 more

Context. Advancements in instrumentation have revealed a multitude of small-scale extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) events in the solar atmosphere and considerable effort is currently undergoing to unravel them.
Aims: Our aim is to employ high-resolution and high-sensitivity magnetograms to gain a detailed understanding of the magnetic origin of such…

NOEMA formIng Cluster survEy (NICE): Characterizing eight massive galaxy groups at 1.5 < z < 4 in the COSMOS field
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450760 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A..55S

Daddi, Emanuele; Schinnerer, Eva; Cai, Zheng +41 more

The NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) formIng Cluster survEy (NICE) is a NOEMA large programme targeting 69 massive galaxy group candidates at z > 2 over six deep fields with a total area of 46 deg2. Here we report the spectroscopic confirmation of eight massive galaxy groups at redshifts 1.65 ≤ z ≤ 3.61 in the Cosmic Evolut…

Aims. The all-sky survey carried out by the extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (Spektr-RG, SRG) has provided spatially and spectrally resolved X-ray data of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and its immediate surroundings in the soft X-ray band down to 0.2 keV, with an average …

NOEMA reveals the true nature of luminous red JWST z > 10 galaxy candidates
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348306 Bibcode: 2024A&A...681L...3M

Walter, F.; Oesch, P. A.; Barrufet, L. +3 more

The first year of JWST has revealed a surprisingly large number of luminous galaxy candidates beyond z > 10. While some galaxies have already been spectroscopically confirmed, there is mounting evidence that a subsample of the candidates with particularly red inferred UV colours are, in fact, lower redshift contaminants. These interlopers are o…
