The low-brightness dust emission at high Galactic latitudes is of interest with respect to studying the interplay among the physical processes involved in shaping the structure of the interstellar medium (ISM), as well as in statistical characterizations of the dust emission as a foreground to the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Progress in thi…

TOI-4860 b, a short-period giant planet transiting an M3.5 dwarf
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346999 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A.166A

Bouchy, F.; Moutou, C.; Carmona, A. +47 more

We report the discovery and characterisation of a giant transiting planet orbiting a nearby M3.5V dwarf (d = 80.4pc, G = 15.1 mag, K=11.2mag, R* = 0.358 ± 0.015 R, M* = 0.340 ± 0.009 M). Using the photometric time series from TESS sectors 10, 36, 46, and 63 and near-infrared spectrophotometry from ExTr…

The ALPINE-ALMA [CII] survey: Dust emission effective radius up to 3 kpc in the early Universe
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348996 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.187P

Cimatti, A.; Pozzi, F.; Magdis, G. E. +25 more


Aims: Measurements of the size of dust continuum emission are an important tool for constraining the spatial extent of star formation, and hence the buildup of stellar mass. Compact dust emission has generally been observed at cosmic noon (z ∼ 2 − 3). However, at earlier epochs, toward the end of the reionization (z ∼ 4 − 6), only the sizes o…

Modeling the propagation of coronal mass ejections with COCONUT: Implementation of the regularized Biot-Savart law flux rope model
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347634 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A..54G

Schmieder, B.; Poedts, S.; Guo, Y. +8 more

Context. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are rapid eruptions of magnetized plasma that occur on the Sun. They are known to be the main drivers of adverse space weather. The accurate tracking of their evolution in the heliosphere in numerical models is of the utmost importance for space weather forecasting.
Aims: The main objective of this paper…

Improving metallicity estimates for very metal-poor stars in the Gaia DR3 GSP-Spec catalog
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245762 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685A..59M

Helmi, Amina; Matsuno, Tadafumi; Starkenburg, Else +1 more

Context. In the latest Gaia Data Release (DR3), the GSP-Spec module has provided stellar parameters and chemical abundances measured from the RVS spectra alone. However, the GSP-Spec parameters - including metallicity - for very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] < −2) stars suffer from parameter degeneracy due to a lack of information in their spectra, a…

Discovery of a > 13 Mpc long X-ray filament between two galaxy clusters beyond three times their virial radii
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449354 Bibcode: 2024A&A...691A.286D

Pacaud, F.; Reiprich, T. H.; Dolag, K. +5 more

Context. A significant fraction of the missing baryons in the local Universe is expected to reside in large-scale filaments that may be observable in soft X-ray emission. Until now, however, very few candidate emission filaments have been found in individual systems, and none beyond three times the virial radius of the clusters at the nodes of the…

The structural properties of multiple populations in globular clusters: The instructive case of NGC 3201
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202349021 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685A.158C

Vesperini, Enrico; Cadelano, Mario; Dalessandro, Emanuele

All multiple population (MP) formation models in globular clusters (GCs) predict that second population (SP) stars form more centrally concentrated than the first population (FP). As dynamical evolution proceeds, spatial differences are progressively erased and only dynamically young clusters are expected to retain a partial memory of the initial …

The MEGARA view of outflows in LINERs
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347675 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A..43H

Hermosa Muñoz, L.; Márquez, I.; Masegosa, J. +12 more

Context. Feedback processes, in particular those driven by outflows, are believed to play a major role in galaxy evolution. Outflows are believed to be ubiquitous in all active galactic nuclei (AGNs), although their presence in low luminosity AGNs, in particular for Low-Ionisation Nuclear Emission line Regions (LINERs), has only started to be expl…

Eclipse-timing study of new hierarchical triple star candidates in the northern continuous viewing zone of TESS
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348909 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685A..43M

Mitnyan, T.; Pál, A.; Borkovits, T. +4 more


Aims: We compiled a list of more than 3500 eclipsing binaries located in and near the northern continuous viewing zone (NCVZ) of the TESS space telescope that have sufficient TESS photometry to search for additional hidden components in these systems. In addition to discovering their hierarchical nature, we also determined their orbital param…

Aims: We studied the first multi-spacecraft high-energy solar energetic particle (SEP) event of solar cycle 25, which triggered a ground level enhancement on 28 October 2021, using data from multiple observers (Parker Solar Probe, STEREO-A, Solar Orbiter, GOES, SOHO, BepiColombo, and the Mars Science Laboratory) that were widely distributed t…
