A Systematic Study of Associations between Supernova Remnants and Molecular Clouds
Chen, Zhiwei; Wang, Hongchi; Wang, Min +12 more
We universally search for evidence of kinematic and spatial correlation of supernova remnant (SNR) and molecular cloud (MC) associations for nearly all SNRs in the coverage of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting CO survey, i.e., 149 SNRs, 170 SNR candidates, and 18 pure pulsar wind nebulae in 1° < l < 230° and -5.°5 < b < 5.°5. Based…
Improvement of Pan-STARRS Photometric Calibration with LAMOST and Gaia
Huang, Bowen; Yuan, Haibo; Xiao, Kai +3 more
In this work, we perform the recalibration of Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) photometry by correcting for position-dependent systematic errors using the spectroscopy-based stellar color regression (SCR) method, the photometry-based SCR method, and the Gaia BP/RP synthetic photometry method. We confirm the significant large-scale and small-scale spatial variati…
Linear Mode Decomposition in Magnetohydrodynamics Revisited
Zank, G. P.; Zhao, L. -L.; Telloni, D. +4 more
Small-amplitude fluctuations in the magnetized solar wind are measured typically by a single spacecraft. In the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) description, fluctuations are typically expressed in terms of the fundamental modes admitted by the system. An important question is how to resolve an observed set of fluctuations, typically plasma moments such…
Stellar Parameters and Chemical Abundances Estimated from LAMOST-II DR8 MRS Based on Cycle-StarNet
Ting, Yuan-Sen; Luo, A. -Li; Zhang, Shuo +3 more
Deriving stellar atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances from stellar spectra is crucial for understanding the evolution of the Milky Way. By performing a fitting with MARCS model atmospheric theoretical synthetic spectra combined with a domain-adaptation method, we estimate the fundamental stellar parameters (T eff, log g, [Fe/H…
Catalog of Planetary Nebulae Detected by GALEX and Corollary Optical Surveys
Bianchi, L.; Gómez-Muñoz, M. A.; Manchado, A.
Planetary nebulae (PNs) consist of an ionized envelope surrounding a hot central star (CSPN) that emits mostly at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. UV observations, therefore, provide important information on both the CSPN and the nebula. We have matched the PNs in the Hong Kong/Australian Astronomical Observatory/Strasbourg Hα catalog with the Galaxy…
The AstroSat UV Deep Field North: The Far- and Near-ultraviolet Photometric Catalog
Teplitz, Harry I.; Rafelski, Marc; Saha, Kanak +7 more
We present deep UV imaging observations of the Great Observatories Origins Survey Northern (GOODS-N) field with AstroSat/UVIT (AstroSat UV Deep Field north-AUDFn), using one far-UV (FUV) (F154W, 34.0 ks) and two near-UV (NUV) filters (N242W, 19.2 ks; N245M, 15.5 ks). The nature of the UV sky background was explored across the UVIT field, and a glo…
CARMA-NRO Orion Survey: Unbiased Survey of Dense Cores and Core Mass Functions in Orion A
Sanhueza, Patricio; Nakamura, Fumitaka; Shimajiri, Yoshito +16 more
The mass distribution of dense cores is a potential key to understanding the process of star formation. Applying dendrogram analysis to the CARMA-NRO Orion C18O (J = 1-0) data, we identify 2342 dense cores, about 22% of which have virial ratios smaller than 2 and can be classified as gravitationally bound cores. The derived core mass fu…
Blind Search of the Solar Neighborhood Galactic Disk within 5 kpc: 1179 New Star Clusters Found in Gaia DR3
Wang, Wenting; Wang, Feng; Deng, Hui +2 more
Studying open clusters (OCs) may help to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Many previous studies have systematically searched for OCs near the solar system within 1.2 kpc or 20° of Galactic latitude. However, few studies have searched for OCs at higher Galactic latitudes and deeper distances. In…
Coronal Densities, Temperatures, and Abundances during the 2019 Total Solar Eclipse: The Role of Multiwavelength Observations in Coronal Plasma Characterization
Del Zanna, Giulio; DeLuca, Edward; Mason, Helen +7 more
The Airborne Infrared Spectrometer (AIR-Spec) offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range. It has been flown at two total solar eclipses, in 2017 and 2019. The wavelength range of the much-improved instrument on the second flight (2019 July 2) was shifted to cover two density-sensitive lines from S XI. I…
Slow Solar Wind Connection Science during Solar Orbiter's First Close Perihelion Passage
D'Amicis, Raffaella; Teriaca, Luca; Hirzberger, Johann +76 more
The Slow Solar Wind Connection Solar Orbiter Observing Plan (Slow Wind SOOP) was developed to utilize the extensive suite of remote-sensing and in situ instruments on board the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission to answer significant outstanding questions regarding the origin and formation of the slow solar wind. The Slow Wind SOOP was designed to lin…
