Dayside Transient Phenomena and Their Impact on the Magnetosphere and Ionosphere
Zong, Qiugang; Lin, Yu; Kallio, Esa +17 more
Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock, in the magnetosheath, and at the magnetopause. They play a significant role in the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. Foreshock transient phenomena, associat…
The Planck clusters in the LOFAR sky. I. LoTSS-DR2: New detections and sample overview
Simionescu, A.; Zhang, X.; Di Gennaro, G. +23 more
Context. Relativistic electrons and magnetic fields permeate the intra-cluster medium (ICM) and manifest themselves as diffuse sources of synchrotron emission observable at radio wavelengths, namely radio halos and radio relics. Although there is broad consensus that the formation of these sources is connected to turbulence and shocks in the ICM, …
Stellar labels for hot stars from low-resolution spectra. I. The HotPayne method and results for 330 000 stars from LAMOST DR6
Xiang, Maosheng; Conroy, Charlie; Ting, Yuan-Sen +9 more
We set out to determine stellar labels from low-resolution survey spectra of hot stars, specifically OBA stars with Teff ≳ 7500 K. This fills a gap in the scientific analysis of large spectroscopic stellar surveys such as LAMOST, which offers spectra for millions of stars at R ~ 1800 and covers 3800 Å ≤ λ ≤ 9000 Å. We first explore the …
Atmospheres of Rocky Exoplanets
Kreidberg, Laura; Wordsworth, Robin
Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming advances in observing capability, we are poised to characterize the atmospheres of dozens of rocky exoplanets in this decade. The theoretical understanding of rocky exoplanet atmos…
Analysis of Early Science observations with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) using PYCHEOPS
Guterman, P.; Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M. +77 more
CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) is an ESA S-class mission that observes bright stars at high cadence from low-Earth orbit. The main aim of the mission is to characterize exoplanets that transit nearby stars using ultrahigh precision photometry. Here, we report the analysis of transits observed by CHEOPS during its Early Science observi…
The chemo-dynamical groups of Galactic globular clusters
Grand, Robert J. J.; Marinacci, Federico; Deason, Alis J. +3 more
We introduce a multicomponent chemo-dynamical method for splitting the Galactic population of globular clusters (GCs) into three distinct constituents: bulge, disc, and stellar halo. The latter is further decomposed into the individual large accretion events that built up the Galactic stellar halo: the Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage, Kraken and Sequoia st…
The Radius of PSR J0740+6620 from NICER with NICER Background Estimates
Remillard, Ronald A.; Bogdanov, Slavko; Salmi, Tuomo +15 more
We report a revised analysis for the radius, mass, and hot surface regions of the massive millisecond pulsar PSR J0740+6620, studied previously with joint fits to NICER and XMM-Newton data by Riley et al. (2021) and Miller et al. (2021). We perform a similar Bayesian estimation for the pulse-profile model parameters, except that instead of fitting…
Dual constraints with ALMA: new [O III] 88-µm and dust-continuum observations reveal the ISM conditions of luminous LBGs at z 7
Carniani, Stefano; Maiolino, Roberto; Jones, Gareth C. +10 more
We present new [${\rm O\, {\small III}}$] 88-$\mu \mathrm{{m}}$ observations of five bright z ~ 7 Lyman-break galaxies spectroscopically confirmed by ALMA through [${\rm C\, {\small II}}$] 158 $\mu \mathrm{{m}}$, unlike recent [${\rm O\, {\small III}}$] detections where Lyman α was used. This nearly doubles the sample of Epoch of Reionization gala…
COSMOS2020: Cosmic evolution of the stellar-to-halo mass relation for central and satellite galaxies up to z ∼ 5
Sanders, D. B.; Ilbert, O.; Moneti, A. +13 more
We used the COSMOS2020 catalog to measure the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) divided by central and satellite galaxies from z = 0.2 to z = 5.5. Starting from accurate photometric redshifts, we measured the near-infrared selected two-point angular correlation and stellar mass functions in ten redshift bins. We used a phenomenological model th…
Short GRB Host Galaxies. II. A Legacy Sample of Redshifts, Stellar Population Properties, and Implications for Their Neutron Star Merger Origins
Kilpatrick, Charles D.; Smith, Nathan; Tanvir, Nial +14 more
We present the stellar population properties of 69 short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies, representing the largest uniformly modeled sample to date. Using the Prospector stellar population inference code, we jointly fit photometry and/or spectroscopy of each host galaxy. We find a population median redshift of $z={0.64}_{-0.32}^{+0.83}$ (68% c…
