X-ray emission of the radio-loud quasar SDSS J121426.52+140258.9: independent variations between optical/UV and X-ray emission
Anjum, Muhammad S.; Liao, Mai; Gu, Minfeng +1 more
To understand the X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we explored the optical-to-X-ray variation correlation of a radio-loud quasar (RLQ) SDSS J121426.52+140258.9 (hereafter J1214+1402) with multi-epoch observations by the Swift and XMM-Newton telescopes. With the historical multiband data, we found that the infrared-to-X-ray flux of …
Serverless Architecture for Data Processing and Detecting Anomalies with the Mars Express MARSIS Instrument
Titov, Dmitrij V.; Sánchez-Cano, Beatriz; Pacios, David +4 more
The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) on board Mars Express has been sampling the topside ionosphere of Mars since mid-2005. The analysis of the main reflection (nadir) of the ionosphere through the ionograms provided by the MARSIS instrument is typically performed manually due to the high noise level in the lower…
X‑HESS: A large sample of highly accreting serendipitous AGN under the XMM‑Newton microscope
Guainazzi, M.; Piconcelli, E.; Tombesi, F. +3 more
The bulk of X‑ray spectroscopic studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are focused on local () sources with low‑to‑moderate (<0.3) Eddington ratio (). It is then mandatory to overcome this limitation and improve our understanding of highly accreting AGN. In this work, we present the preliminary results from the analysis of a sample of high‑ ra…
Velocity of magnetic holes in the solar wind from Cluster multipoint measurements
Raptis, Savvas; Karlsson, Tomas; Trollvik, Henriette
We present the first statistical study on the velocity of magnetic holes (MHs) in the solar wind. Magnetic holes are localized depressions of the magnetic field, often divided into two classes: rotational and linear MHs. We have conducted a timing analysis of observations of MHs from the Cluster mission in the first quarter of 2005. In total, 69 e…

Photometric Distance to the RR Lyrae Star SW Andromedae Using Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relationships
Payne, E.; Dow, T.; Bergstedt, J. +4 more
Cáceres and Catelans' period-luminosity-metallicity equations give us a way to measure the photometric distance to RR Lyrae stars using absolute magnitude equations that rely on the specific photometric filter (V, i, and z), the period, and the metallicity. Over a period of two weeks, 76 images of the RR Lyr Star SW Andromedae were taken in the B,…
CD -27°11535: Evidence for a Triple System in the β Pictoris Moving Group
Kalas, Paul; De Rosa, Robert J.; Macintosh, Bruce +20 more
We present new spatially resolved astrometry and photometry of the CD -27°11535 system, a member of the β Pictoris moving group consisting of two resolved K-type stars on a ~20 yr orbit. We fit an orbit to relative astrometry measured from NIRC2, GPI, and archival NaCo images, in addition to literature measurements. However, the total mass inferre…
Differences between the globular cluster systems of the Virgo and Fornax galaxy clusters
Mieske, Steffen; Dabringhausen, Jörg; Fellhauer, Michael
It is well-known that Globular cluster systems are different among galaxies. Here, we test to which degree these differences remain on the scale of galaxy clusters by comparing the globular clusters (GCs) in optical surveys of the Virgo galaxy cluster (ACSVCS) and the ACS Fornax galaxy cluster (ACSFCS) in Kolmogorov-Smirnoff Tests. Both surveys we…
A runaway T Tauri star leaving an extended trail
Luque-Escamilla, Pedro L.; Martí, Josep; Sánchez-Ayaso, Estrella
Aims: We address the problem of young stellar objects that are found too far away from possible star formation sites. Different mechanisms have been proposed before to explain this unexpected circumstance. The idea of high-velocity protostars is one of these mechanisms, although observational support is not always easy to obtain. We aim to sh…
Barium stars and their white-dwarf companions, a key to understanding evolved binaries
Escorza, A.
A rich zoo of peculiar objects forms when evolved stars with extended and loosely-bound convective envelopes, such as Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, undergo gravitational interaction in binary systems. For example, Barium (Ba) stars are main-sequence and red-giant stars that accreted mass from the outflows of a former AGB companion. This com…
