Mapping the Galactic Disk with the LAMOST and Gaia Red Clump Sample. VIII. Mapping the Kinematics of the Galactic Disk Using Mono-age and Mono-abundance Stellar Populations
Huang, Yang; Jiang, Biwei; Zhang, Huawei +5 more
We present a comprehensive study of the kinematic properties of the different Galactic disk populations, as defined by the chemical abundance ratios and stellar ages, across a large disk volume (4.5 ≤ R ≤ 15.0 kpc and ∣Z∣ ≤ 3.0 kpc), by using the LAMOST-Gaia red clump sample stars. We determine the median velocities for various spatial and populat…
J-PLUS: Beyond Spectroscopy. III. Stellar Parameters and Elemental-abundance Ratios for Five Million Stars from DR3
Fan, Zhou; Huang, Yang; Liu, Jifeng +24 more
We present a catalog of stellar parameters (effective temperature T eff, surface gravity
Reading between the (Spectral) Lines: Magellan/IMACS Spectroscopy of the Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I
James, D. J.; Li, T. S.; Carlin, J. L. +18 more
We present a spectroscopic analysis of Eridanus IV (Eri IV) and Centaurus I (Cen I), two ultrafaint dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way. Using IMACS/Magellan spectroscopy, we identify 28 member stars of Eri IV and 34 member stars of Cen I. For Eri IV, we measure a systemic velocity of ${v}_{\mathrm{sys}}=-{31.5}_{-1.2}^{+1.3}\ \mathrm{km}\,{{\rm{s}}}^…
What is the Reynolds Number of the Solar Wind?
Wrench, Daniel; Parashar, Tulasi N.; Oughton, Sean +2 more
The Reynolds number, Re, is an important quantity for describing a turbulent flow. It tells us about the bandwidth over which energy can cascade from large scales to smaller ones, prior to the onset of dissipation. However, calculating it for nearly collisionless plasmas like the solar wind is challenging. Previous studies have used formulations o…
A Dynamical Model for IRAS 00500+6713: The Remnant of a Type Iax Supernova SN 1181 Hosting a Double Degenerate Merger Product WD J005311
Uchida, Hiroyuki; Bamba, Aya; Tanaka, Takaaki +6 more
IRAS 00500+6713 is a hypothesized remnant of a Type Iax supernova SN 1181. Multiwavelength observations have revealed its complicated morphology; a dusty infrared ring is sandwiched by the inner and outer X-ray nebulae. We analyze the archival X-ray data taken by XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray Observatory to constrain the angular radius, mass, and m…
A Triple Scenario for the Formation of Wide Black Hole Binaries Such as Gaia BH1
Generozov, A.; Perets, H. B.
Recently, several noninteracting black hole–stellar binaries have been identified in Gaia data—for example, Gaia BH1, where a Sun-like star is in a moderately eccentric (e = 0.44) 185 days orbit around a black hole. This orbit is difficult to explain through binary evolution. The present-day separation suggests the progenitor system would have und…
Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Generation by Flux Cancellation Reconnection
Chitta, L. P.; Priest, E. R.; Titov, V. S. +1 more
In this paper, we propose that flux cancellation on small granular scales (≲1000 km) ubiquitously drives reconnection at a multitude of sites in the low solar atmosphere, contributing to chromospheric/coronal heating and the generation of the solar wind. We analyze the energy conversion in these small-scale flux cancellation events using both anal…
JWST/MIRI Detection of Suprathermal OH Rotational Emissions: Probing the Dissociation of the Water by Lyα Photons near the Protostar HOPS 370
Manoj, P.; Narang, Mayank; Beuther, Henrik +22 more
Using the MIRI medium-resolution spectrometer on JWST, we have detected pure rotational, suprathermal OH emissions from the vicinity of the intermediate-mass protostar HOPS 370 (OMC2/FIR3). These emissions are observed from shocked knots in a jet/outflow and originate in states of rotational quantum number as high as 46 that possess excitation ene…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXVII. The Size and Structure of Globular Cluster Systems and Their Connection to Dark Matter Halos
Emsellem, Eric; Gwyn, Stephen D. J.; Müller, Oliver +18 more
We study the size and structure of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 early-type galaxies from the NGVS, MATLAS, and ACSVCS surveys. Fitting Sérsic profiles, we investigate the relationship between effective radii of GC systems (R e,gc) and galaxy properties. GC systems are 2–4 times more extended than host galaxies across the entire…
High-resolution ALMA Observations of Richly Structured Protoplanetary Disks in σ Orionis
Czekala, Ian; Huang, Jane; Long, Feng +5 more
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has detected substructures in numerous protoplanetary disks at radii from a few to over 100 au. These substructures are commonly thought to be associated with planet formation, either by serving as sites fostering planetesimal formation or by arising as a consequence of planet–disk interactio…
