Context. The GLObal view on STAR formation in the Milky Way (GLOSTAR) survey studies star formation with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Effelsberg 100 meter radio telescope in the Galactic plane between ‑2° < ℓ < 60° and |b| < 1°, and the Cygnus X region (76° < ℓ < 83° and ‑1° < b < 2°), with unprecedented sensitivity in b…

Dynamics and potential origins of decimeter-sized particles around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346380 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685A.136P

Agarwal, Jessica; Grieger, Björn; Marschall, Raphael +2 more

Context. One of the primary goals of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was to investigate the mechanisms responsible for cometary activity.
Aims: Our aim is to learn more about the ejection process of large refractory material by studying the dynamics of decimeter-sized dust particles in the coma o…

Using autoencoders and deep transfer learning to determine the stellar parameters of 286 CARMENES M dwarfs
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449865 Bibcode: 2024A&A...687A.205M

Caballero, J. A.; Montes, D.; Passegger, V. M. +9 more

Context. Deep learning (DL) techniques are a promising approach among the set of methods used in the ever-challenging determination of stellar parameters in M dwarfs. In this context, transfer learning could play an important role in mitigating uncertainties in the results due to the synthetic gap (i.e. difference in feature distributions between …

Phobos photometric properties from Mars Express HRSC observations
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449220 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.203F

Barucci, M. A.; Fornasier, S.; Matz, K. -D. +5 more


Aims: This study aims to analyze Phobos' photometric properties using Mars Express mission observations to support the Martian Moons exploration mission (MMX) devoted to the investigation of the Martian system and to the return of Phobos samples.
Methods: We analyzed resolved images of Phobos acquired between 2004 and 2022 by the High Re…

The galactic acceleration scale is imprinted on globular cluster systems of early-type galaxies of most masses and on red and blue globular cluster subpopulations
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244093 Bibcode: 2024A&A...682A.111B

Hilker, Michael; Richtler, Tom; Renaud, Florent +3 more

Context. Globular clusters (GCs) carry information about the formation histories and gravitational fields of their host galaxies. It was found before that the radial profiles of the volume number density of GCs in GC systems (GCSs) follow broken power laws, while the breaks occur approximately at the a0 radii. These are the radii at whi…

Mind the gap between A2061 and A2067: Unveiling new diffuse, large-scale radio emission
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451529 Bibcode: 2024A&A...691A..99P

Brunetti, G.; Balboni, M.; Venturi, T. +11 more

Aims. The clusters Abell 2061 and Abell 2067 in the Corona Borealis supercluster have been studied at different radio frequencies and are both known to host diffuse radio emission. The aim of this work is to investigate the radio emission between them, whose presence is suggested by low-resolution observations. Methods. We analysed deep LOw Freque…

Probing the filamentary nature of star formation in the California giant molecular cloud
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449853 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A...3Z

André, Philippe; Zhang, Guo-Yin; Li, Jin-Zeng +1 more

Context. Recent studies suggest that filamentary structures are representative of the initial conditions of star formation in molecular clouds and support a filament paradigm for star formation, potentially accounting for the origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF). The detailed, local physical properties of molecular filaments remain po…

Imprint of the magnetic activity cycle on solar asteroseismic characterisation based on 26 years of GOLF and BiSON data
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451365 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688L..17B

Bétrisey, J.; Farnir, M.; García, R. A. +4 more

Context. Asteroseismic modelling will play a key role in future space-based missions, such as PLATO, CubeSpec, and Roman. Despite remarkable achievements, asteroseismology has revealed significant discrepancies between observations and theoretical predictions of the physics used in stellar models, which have the potential to bias stellar character…

The influence of small bipolar magnetic regions on basic solar quantities
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245635 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A..48H

Solanki, S. K.; Krivova, N. A.; Jiang, J. +2 more

Context. Understanding the evolution of the solar magnetic field is of great importance for heliosphere, dynamo, and irradiance studies, for example. While the contribution of the field in active regions (ARs) hosting sunspots to the Sun's large-scale field has been extensively modelled, we still lack a realistic model of the contribution of small…

Detailed cool star flare morphology with CHEOPS and TESS***
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348951 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.239B

Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M.; Erikson, A. +79 more

Context. White-light stellar flares are proxies for some of the most energetic types of flares, but their triggering mechanism is still poorly understood. As they are associated with strong X and ultraviolet emission, their study is particularly relevant to estimate the amount of high-energy irradiation onto the atmospheres of exoplanets, especial…
