The GRAVITY young stellar object survey. XIII. Tracing the time-variable asymmetric disk structure in the inner AU of the Herbig star HD 98922
Lutz, D.; Genzel, R.; Sturm, E. +52 more
Context. Temporal variability in the photometric and spectroscopic properties of protoplanetary disks is common in young stellar objects. However, evidence pointing toward changes in their morphology over short timescales has only been found for a few sources, mainly due to a lack of high-cadence observations at high angular resolution. Understand…
Joint ALMA/X-ray monitoring of the radio-quiet type 1 active galactic nucleus IC 4329A
Bauer, F. E.; Paltani, S.; Ho, L. C. +20 more
The origin of a compact millimeter (mm, 100–250 GHz) emission in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (RQ AGN) remains debated. Recent studies propose a connection with self-absorbed synchrotron emission from the accretion disk X-ray corona. We present the first joint ALMA (∼100 GHz) and X-ray (NICER/XMM-Newton/Swift; 2–10 keV) observations of the u…
Comparative analysis of the SFR of AGN and non-AGN galaxies, as a function of stellar mass, AGN power, cosmic time, and obscuration
Carrera, F. J.; Masoura, V. A.; Mountrichas, G. +1 more
This study involves a comparative analysis of the star formation rates (SFRs) of active galactic nucleus (AGN) galaxies and non-AGN galaxies and of the SFRs of type 1 and 2 AGNs. To carry out this investigation, we assembled a dataset consisting of 2677 X-ray AGNs detected by the XMM-Newton observatory and a control sample of 64 556 galaxies devoi…
Exploring extreme brightness variations in blue supergiant MACHO 80.7443.1718: Evidence for companion-driven enhanced mass loss
Pigulski, A.; Kołaczek-Szymański, P. A.; Moździerski, D. +2 more
Context. The evolution of massive stars is dominated by interactions within binary and multiple systems. In order to accurately model this evolution, it is necessary to investigate all possible forms of an interaction in binary systems that may affect the evolution of the components. One of the "laboratories" plausible for this kind of investigati…
AGNFITTER-RX: Modeling the radio-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions of AGNs
Bauer, F. E.; Buchner, J.; Stalevski, M. +9 more
We present new advancements in the modeling of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of active galaxies by introducing the radio-to-X-ray fitting capabilities of the publicly available Bayesian code AGNFITTER. The new code release, called AGNFITTER-RX, models the broad-band photometry covering the radio, infrared (IR), optical, ultraviolet (UV)…
Signs of magnetic star-planet interactions in HD 118203. TESS detects stellar variability that matches the orbital period of a close-in eccentric Jupiter-sized companion
Barrado, D.; Santos, N. C.; Lillo-Box, J. +4 more
Context. Planetary systems with close-in giant planets can experience magnetic star-planet interactions that modify the activity levels of their host stars. The induced activity is known to strongly depend on the magnetic moment of the interacting planet. Therefore, such planet-induced activity should be more readily observable in systems with clo…
SPICE connection mosaics to link the Sun's surface and the heliosphere
Williams, D.; Barczynski, K.; Peter, H. +28 more
Aims: We present an analysis of the first connection mosaic made by the SPICE instrument on board the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission on March 2, 2022. The data will be used to map coronal composition that will be compared with in-situ measurements taken by SWA/HIS to establish the coronal origin of the solar wind plasma observed at Solar Orbi…
Galaxy morphology classification based on Convolutional vision Transformer (CvT)
Xu, Tingting; Deng, Linhua; Cao, Jie +4 more
Context. The classification of galaxy morphology is among the most active fields in astronomical research today. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, deep learning is a useful tool in the classification of the morphology of galaxies and significant progress has been made in this domain. However, there is still some room for …
A galactic outflow traced by its extended Mg II emission out to a ∼30 kpc radius in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field with MUSE
Feltre, Anna; Verhamme, Anne; Wisotzki, Lutz +12 more
We report the discovery of a rare Mg IIλλ2796, 2803 doublet emission halo around a star-forming galaxy with log(M⋆/M⊙) = 10.3 ± 0.3 at z = 0.737 in deep (9.94 h) VLT/MUSE data from the MUSE-HUDF mosaic. While the central region prominently displays an absorption-dominated Mg II doublet characterized by discernible P-Cyg featu…
Stellar feedback in the star formation-gas density relation: Comparison between simulations and observations
Zavagno, A.; Russeil, D.; Hennebelle, P. +3 more
Context. The impact of stellar feedback on the Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) law, which relates the star formation rate (SFR) to the surface gas density, is a topic of ongoing debate. The interpretation of high-resolution observations of individual clouds is challenging due to the various processes at play simultaneously and inherent biases. Therefore, a…
