The Relationship between Age, Metallicity, and Abundances for Disk Stars in a Simulated Milky Way
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca1c7 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942...35C

Ness, Melissa K.; Hawkins, Keith; Wetzel, Andrew +4 more

Observations of the Milky Way's low-α disk show that several element abundances correlate with age at fixed metallicity, with unique slopes and small scatters around the age-[X/Fe] relations. In this study, we turn to simulations to explore the age-[X/Fe] relations for the elements C, N, O, Mg, Si, S, and Ca that are traced in a FIRE-2 cosmologica…

oMEGACat. I. MUSE Spectroscopy of 300,000 Stars within the Half-light Radius of ω Centauri
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acf5db Bibcode: 2023ApJ...958....8N

Dreizler, S.; Milone, A. P.; Latour, M. +17 more

Omega Centauri (ω Cen) is the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way and has been the focus of many studies that reveal the complexity of its stellar populations and kinematics. However, most previous studies have used photometric and spectroscopic data sets with limited spatial or magnitude coverage, while we aim to investigate it having …

Substructures in Compact Disks of the Taurus Star-forming Region
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acd334 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...952..108Z

Zhang, Ke; Bergin, Edwin A.; Long, Feng +5 more

Observations of substructure in protoplanetary disks have largely been limited to the brightest and largest disks, excluding the abundant population of compact disks, which are likely sites of planet formation. Here, we reanalyze ~0.″1, 1.33 mm Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) continuum observations of 12 compact protoplanetary …

Dark Matter Halo Properties of the Galactic Dwarf Satellites: Implication for Chemo-dynamical Evolution of the Satellites and a Challenge to Lambda Cold Dark Matter
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ace33e Bibcode: 2023ApJ...953..185H

Hirai, Yutaka; Hayashi, Kohei; Chiba, Masashi +1 more

Elucidating dark matter density profiles in Galactic dwarf satellites is essential to understanding not only the quintessence of dark matter, but also the evolution of the satellites themselves. In this work, we present the current constraints on dark matter densities in Galactic ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) and diffuse galaxies. Applying our constructe…

Simulations of High-redshift [O III] Emitters: Chemical Evolution and Multiline Diagnostics
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ace25a Bibcode: 2023ApJ...953..140N

Yoshida, Naoki; Nakazato, Yurina; Ceverino, Daniel

Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a number of high-redshift galaxies with strong emission lines from doubly ionized oxygen. Combined with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of far-infrared lines, multiline diagnostics can be applied to the high-redshift galaxies in order to probe the physical c…

Early Results from GLASS-JWST. XV. Properties of the Faintest Red Sources in the NIRCAM Deep Fields
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acba8b Bibcode: 2023ApJ...947L..25G

Vulcani, B.; Brammer, G.; Treu, T. +20 more

We present a first look at the reddest 2–5 µm sources found in deep images from the GLASS Early Release Science program. We undertake a general search, i.e., not looking for any particular spectral signatures, for sources detected only in bands redder than is reachable with the Hubble Space Telescope, and which would likely not have been ide…

JWST/NIRSpec Observations of the Planetary Mass Companion TWA 27B
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acd635 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...949L..36L

Luhman, K. L.; Birkmann, S. M.; Tremblin, P. +8 more

We present 1-5 µm spectroscopy of the young planetary mass companion TWA 27B (2M1207B) performed with NIRSpec on board the James Webb Space Telescope. In these data, the fundamental band of CH4 is absent, and the fundamental band of CO is weak. The nondetection of CH4 reinforces a previously observed trend of weaker CH<…

The Radial Variation of the Solar Wind Turbulence Spectra near the Kinetic Break Scale from Parker Solar Probe Measurements
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca903 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942...93L

Bale, S. D.; Kontar, E. P.; Engelbrecht, N. E. +7 more

In this study we examine the radial dependence of the inertial and dissipation range indices, as well as the spectral break separating the inertial and dissipation range in power density spectra of interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations using Parker Solar Probe data from the fifth solar encounter between ~0.1 and ~0.7 au. The derived break wav…

Fortney, Jonathan J.; Mikal-Evans, Thomas; Lothringer, Joshua D. +16 more

Recent work on the characterization of small exoplanets has allowed us to accumulate growing evidence that sub-Neptunes with radii greater than ~2.5 R often host H2/He-dominated atmospheres both from measurements of their low bulk densities and from direct detections of their low mean molecular mass atmospheres. However, th…

Ho, Luis C.; Zhang, Lulu

We combine mid-infrared diagnostics obtained from integral-field-unit observations taken with Mid-Infrared Instrument/Medium Resolution Spectrograph on the James Webb Space Telescope with cold molecular gas information derived from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of CO(1-0) emission to investigate the star formation rate …
