JADES NIRSpec Spectroscopy of GN-z11: Lyman-α emission and possible enhanced nitrogen abundance in a z = 10.60 luminous galaxy
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346159 Bibcode: 2023A&A...677A..88B

Chevallard, Jacopo; Maseda, Michael V.; Parlanti, Eleonora +60 more

We present JADES JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of GN-z11, the most luminous candidate z > 10 Lyman break galaxy in the GOODS-North field with MUV = −21.5. We derive a redshift of z = 10.603 (lower than previous determinations) based on multiple emission lines in our low and medium resolution spectra over 0.7 − 5.3 µm. We significan…

Gaia Data Release 3. Properties and validation of the radial velocities
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244220 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A...5K

Smith, M.; Gosset, E.; Caffau, E. +47 more

Context. Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) contains the second release of the combined radial velocities. It is based on the spectra collected during the first 34 months of the nominal mission. The longer time baseline and the improvements of the pipeline made it possible to push the processing limit from GRVS = 12 in Gaia DR2 to GRVS…

Gaia Data Release 3. Stellar multiplicity, a teaser for the hidden treasure
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243782 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..34G

Prusti, T.; Mazeh, T.; Zucker, S. +448 more

Context. The Gaia DR3 catalogue contains, for the first time, about 800 000 solutions with either orbital elements or trend parameters for astrometric, spectroscopic, and eclipsing binaries, and combinations of these three.
Aims: With this paper, we aim to illustrate the huge potential of this large non-single-star catalogue.
Methods: Us…

GA-NIFS: A massive black hole in a low-metallicity AGN at z ∼ 5.55 revealed by JWST/NIRSpec IFS
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346137 Bibcode: 2023A&A...677A.145U

Pérez-González, Pablo G.; Charlot, Stéphane; Carniani, Stefano +20 more

We present rest-frame optical data of the compact z = 5.55 galaxy GS_3073 obtained using the integral field spectroscopy mode of the Near-InfraRed Spectrograph on board the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy's prominent broad components in several hydrogen and helium lines (though absent in the forbidden lines) and v detection of a large equiv…

Gaia Data Release 3. Analysis of RVS spectra using the General Stellar Parametriser from spectroscopy
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243750 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..29R

Hatzidimitriou, D.; Schultheis, M.; Marshall, D. J. +77 more

Context. The chemo-physical parametrisation of stellar spectra is essential for understanding the nature and evolution of stars and of Galactic stellar populations. A worldwide observational effort from the ground has provided, in one century, an extremely heterogeneous collection of chemical abundances for about two million stars in total, with f…

Gaia Data Release 3. Astrophysical parameters inference system (Apsis). I. Methods and content overview
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243688 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..26C

Hatzidimitriou, D.; Bouret, J. -C.; Marshall, D. J. +86 more

Gaia Data Release 3 contains a wealth of new data products for the community. Astrophysical parameters are a major component of this release, and were produced by the Astrophysical parameters inference system (Apsis) within the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC). The aim of this paper is to describe the overall content of the astr…

Hatzidimitriou, D.; Marshall, D. J.; Recio-Blanco, A. +80 more

Context. The astrophysical characterisation of sources is among the major new data products in the third Gaia Data Release (DR3). In particular, there are stellar parameters for 471 million sources estimated from low-resolution BP/RP spectra.
Aims: We present the General Stellar Parameterizer from Photometry (GSP-Phot), which is part of the a…

Gilmore, G.; Harrison, D. L.; Bailer-Jones, C. A. L. +51 more

Context. Blue (BP) and Red (RP) Photometer low-resolution spectral data are one of the exciting new products in Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3). These data have also been used to derive astrometry and integrated photometry in Gaia Early Data Release 3 and astrophysical parameters and Solar System object reflectance spectra in Gaia DR3.
Aims: I…

Context. The third Gaia data release (DR3) provides a wealth of new data products. The early part of the release, Gaia EDR3, already provided the astrometric and photometric data for nearly two billion sources. The full release now adds improved parameters compared to Gaia DR2 for radial velocities, astrophysical parameters, variability informatio…
