The Gaia-ESO Survey: 3D dynamics of young groups and clusters from GES and Gaia EDR3
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1806 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.533..705W

Gilmore, G.; Franciosini, E.; Randich, S. +9 more

We present the first large-scale 3D kinematic study of $\sim$2700 spectroscopically confirmed young stars ($\lt $20 Myr) in 18 star clusters and OB associations (hereafter groups) from the combination of Gaia astrometry and Gaia-ESO Survey spectroscopy. We measure 3D velocity dispersions for all groups, which range from 0.61 to 7.4 km s$^{-1}…

The DESI Early Data Release white dwarf catalogue
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae2205 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.535..254M

Moustakas, J.; Brooks, D.; Doel, P. +51 more

The Early Data Release (EDR) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) comprises spectroscopy obtained from 2020 December 14 to 2021 June 10. White dwarfs were targeted by DESI both as calibration sources and as science targets and were selected based on Gaia photometry and astrometry. Here, we present the DESI EDR white dwarf catalogue, …

Two-dimensional Parameter Relationships for W UMa-type Systems Revisited
DOI: 10.1088/1674-4527/ad0866 Bibcode: 2024RAA....24a5002P

Poro, Atila; Paki, Ehsan; Hedayatjoo, Mahya +6 more

Reviewing the empirical and theoretical parameter relationships between various parameters is a good way to understand more about contact binary systems. In this investigation, two-dimensional (2D) relationships for P-M V(system), P-L 1,2, M 1,2-L 1,2, and q-L ratio were revisited. The sample…

A Parsec-scale Catalog of Molecular Clouds in the Solar Neighborhood Based on 3D Dust Mapping: Implications for the Mass-Size Relation
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad0cf8 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...961..153C

Alves, João; Zucker, Catherine; Goodman, Alyssa +2 more

We dendrogram the Leike et al. 3D dust map, leveraging its ~1 pc spatial resolution to produce a uniform catalog of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood. Using accurate distances, we measure the properties of 65 clouds in true 3D space, eliminating much of the uncertainty in mass, size, and density. Clouds in the catalog contain a total of 1…

The GAPS Programme at TNG. LV. Multiple molecular species in the atmosphere of HAT-P-11 b and review of the HAT-P-11 planetary system
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347659 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.127B

Scandariato, G.; Poretti, E.; Sozzetti, A. +29 more

Context. The atmospheric characterisation of hot and warm Neptune-size exoplanets is challenging mainly due to their relatively small radius and atmospheric scale height, which reduce the amplitude of atmospheric spectral features. The warm-Neptune HAT-P-11 b is a remarkable target for atmospheric characterisation because of the large brightness o…

Early Results from GLASS-JWST. XXIV. The Mass-Metallicity Relation in Lensed Field Galaxies at Cosmic Noon with NIRISS
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad12cd Bibcode: 2024ApJ...960L..13H

Santini, Paola; Castellano, Marco; Fontana, Adriano +20 more

We present a measurement of the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) at Cosmic Noon, using the JWST near-infrared wide-field slitless spectroscopy obtained by the GLASS-JWST Early Release Science program. By combining the power of JWST and the lensing magnification by the foreground cluster A2744, we extend the measurements of the MZR to the dwarf mass…

New bounds on light millicharged particles from the tip of the red-giant branch
DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.109.083011 Bibcode: 2024PhRvD.109h3011F

Vincent, Aaron C.; Schutz, Katelin; Fung, Audrey +3 more

Stellar energy loss is a sensitive probe of light, weakly coupled dark sectors, including ones containing millicharged particles (MCPs). The emission of MCPs can affect stellar evolution and therefore can alter the observed properties of stellar populations. In this work, we improve upon the accuracy of existing stellar limits on MCPs by self-cons…

EPOCHS Paper V. The dependence of galaxy formation on galaxy structure at z < 7 from JWST observations
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1180 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.531.4857C

Conselice, Christopher J.; Bluck, Asa F. L.; Li, Qiong +11 more

We measure the broad impact of galaxy structure on galaxy formation by examining the ongoing star formation and integrated star formation history as revealed through the stellar masses of galaxies at z < 7 based on JWST CEERS data from the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). Using the morphological catalog of 3965 visually classified JWST galaxies from…

The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF). V. Characterizing the Mass–Metallicity Relation for Low-mass Galaxies at z ∼ 1–2
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad382c Bibcode: 2024ApJ...966..228R

Papovich, Casey; Henry, Alaina; Rafelski, Marc +13 more

Using more than 100 galaxies in the MUSE Ultra Deep Field with spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 and the Very Large Telescope's Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer, we extend the gas-phase mass–metallicity relation (MZR) at z ≈ 1–2 down to stellar masses of M ≈ 107.5 M . The …

Ventura, Paolo; Mucciarelli, Alessio; Bellazzini, Michele +2 more

In this study, we report the results of the analysis of Fe, Mg, Al, and Si abundances analysis for a sample of 439 stars in ω Centauri, using high-resolution spectra obtained with the VLT/FLAMES multi-object spectrograph. Our analysis reveals the presence of four distinct Fe populations, with the main peak occurring at a low metallicity, consisten…
