Fine structure in the Sigma Orionis cluster revealed by Gaia DR3
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347817 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.161Z

Martín, E. L.; Žerjal, M.; Pérez-Garrido, A.

Context. Sigma Orionis is an open cluster in the nearest giant star formation site - Orion. Its youth (3−5 Myr), low reddening, and relative vicinity make it an important benchmark cluster to study stellar and substellar formation and evolution.
Aims: Young star-forming sites are complex and hierarchical. Precision astrometry from Gaia DR3 en…

Methodological refinement of the submillimeter galaxy magnification bias. I. Cosmological analysis with a single redshift bin
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347876 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.190C

Bonavera, L.; González-Nuevo, J.; Lapi, A. +3 more


Aims: The main goal of this work is to test the results of a methodological improvement in the measurement of the magnification bias signal on a sample of submillimeter galaxies. In particular, we investigate the constraining power of cosmological parameters within the ΛCDM model. We also discuss important points that can affect the results. …

The GLASS-JWST Early Release Science Program: IV. Data release of 263 spectra from 245 unique sources
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450493 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A...2M

Vulcani, B.; Bradač, M.; Brammer, G. +24 more

We release fully reduced spectra obtained with NIRSpec onboard JWST as part of the GLASS-JWST Early Release Science Program and a follow-up Director's Discretionary Time program 2756. From these 263 spectra of 245 unique sources, acquired with low (R = 30–300) and high dispersion (R ~ 2700) gratings, we derive redshifts for 200 unique sources in t…

The K2 Asteroseismic KEYSTONE sample of Dwarf and Subgiant Solar-Like Oscillators. I. Data and Asteroseismic parameters
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450055 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A..13L

Chaplin, William J.; Davies, Guy R.; Bieryla, Allyson +19 more


Aims: The KEYSTONE project aims to enhance our understanding of solar-like oscillators by delivering a catalogue of global asteroseismic parameters (Δv and vmax) for 173 stars, comprising mainly dwarfs and subgiants, observed by the K2 mission in its short-cadence mode during campaigns 6-19.
Methods: We derive atmospheric para…

The properties of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies for type 1 and 2 active galactic nuclei in the eFEDS and COSMOS fields
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348156 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A.160M

Georgantopoulos, I.; Mountrichas, G.

In this study, our primary objective is to compare the properties of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies between type 1 and type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In our analysis, we use X-ray detected sources in two fields, namely the eFEDS and the COSMOS-Legacy. To classify the X-ray sources, we performed a spectral energy di…

Evolution of coronal mass ejections with and without sheaths from the inner to the outer heliosphere: Statistical investigation for 1975 to 2022
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348641 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685A..89L

Temmer, M.; Larrodera, C.


Aims: This study covers a thorough statistical investigation of the evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) with and without sheaths through a broad heliocentric distance and temporal range. The analysis treats the sheath and magnetic obstacle (MO) separately in order to gain more insight on their physical properties. In de…

The XMM-Newton and NuSTAR view of IRASF11119+3257: I. Detection of multiple ultra fast outflow components and a very cold corona
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449194 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A.247L

Veilleux, S.; Bianchi, S.; Cappi, M. +21 more

Context. IRASF11119+3257 is an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy with a post-merger morphology, hosting a type-1 quasar at z = 0.189. It shows a prominent ultra-fast outflow (UFO) absorption feature (vout ∼ 0.25c) in its 2013 Suzaku spectrum. This is the first system in which the energy released by the UFO was compared to that of the known…

The tight correlation between PAH and CO emission from z ∼ 0 to 4
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451826 Bibcode: 2024A&A...691L...2S

Boogaard, Leindert A.; Shivaei, Irene

Aims. The cold molecular gas mass is one of the crucial, yet challenging, parameters in galaxy evolution studies. Here, we introduce a new calibration and a method for estimating molecular gas masses using mid-infrared (MIR) photometry. This topic is timely as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) now allows us to detect the MIR emission of typica…

The [Y/Mg] chemical clock in the Galactic disk: The influence of metallicity and the Galactic population in the solar neighbourhood
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449669 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.107S

Meléndez, Jorge; Shejeelammal, J.; Rathsam, Anne +1 more

Context. Stellar ages are an important parameter in studies of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. To better estimate these ages, various methods complementary to the conventional isochrone fitting method have been implemented in the past decade. Several recent studies have established the existence of a relationship between chemical clocks and …

A newborn active galactic nucleus in a star-forming galaxy
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348900 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683L...8A

Salvato, M.; Merloni, A.; Arévalo, P. +8 more


Aims: We report on the finding of a newborn active galactic nucleus (AGN), based on the observation of current AGN activity in a galaxy previously classified as non-active. We subsequently characterize the AGN's evolution.
Methods: Black hole ignition event candidates were selected from a parent sample of spectrally classified non-active…
