Observations of the extragalactic (z = 0.0141) transient AT 2018cow established a new class of energetic explosions shocking a dense medium, producing luminous emission at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. Here we present detailed millimeter- through centimeter-wave observations of a similar transient, ZTF 20acigmel (AT 2020xnd), at z = 0.…

We present spatially resolved morphological properties of [C II] 158 µm, [O III] 88 µm, dust, and rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) continuum emission for A1689-zD1, a strongly lensed, sub-L* galaxy at z = 7.13, by utilizing deep Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. While the [O I…

A Blind All-sky Search for Star Clusters in Gaia EDR3: 886 Clusters within 1.2 kpc of the Sun
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/ac7c17 Bibcode: 2022ApJS..262....7H

Luo, Yangping; Wang, Kun; Liu, Xiaochen +3 more

Although previous searches for star clusters have been very successful, many clusters are likely still omitted, especially at high-Galactic-latitude regions. In this work, based on the astrometry of Gaia EDR3, we searched nearby (ϖ > 0.8 mas) all-sky regions, obtaining 886 star clusters, of which 270 candidates have not been cataloged before. A…

Probing the Physics of the Solar Atmosphere with the Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE). II. Flares and Eruptions

Current state-of-the-art spectrographs cannot resolve the fundamental spatial (subarcseconds) and temporal (less than a few tens of seconds) scales of the coronal dynamics of solar flares and eruptive phenomena. The highest-resolution coronal data to date are based on imaging, which is blind to many of the processes that drive coronal energetics a…

Definitive upper bound on the negligible contribution of quasars to cosmic reionization
DOI: 10.1038/s41550-022-01708-w Bibcode: 2022NatAs...6..850J

Cosmic (hydrogen) reionization marks one of the major phase transitions of the universe at redshift z ≥ 6. During this epoch, hydrogen atoms in the intergalactic medium were ionized by Lyman continuum (LyC) photons. However, it remains challenging to identify the major sources of the LyC photons responsible for reionization. In particular, individ…

The Galactic metallicity gradient shown by open clusters in the light of radial migration
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2961 Bibcode: 2022MNRAS.509..421N

Netopil, Martin; Oralhan, İnci Akkaya; Çakmak, Hikmet +2 more

During the last years and decades, several individual studies and large-scale spectroscopic surveys significantly improved our knowledge of the Galactic metallicity distribution based on open clusters. The availability of Gaia data provided a further step forward in our knowledge. However, still some open issues remain, for example, the influence …

Substructure in the stellar halo near the Sun. II. Characterisation of independent structures
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243061 Bibcode: 2022A&A...665A..58R

Koppelman, H. H.; Helmi, A.; Ruiz-Lara, T. +3 more

Context. In an accompanying paper, we present a data-driven method for clustering in `integrals of motion' space and apply it to a large sample of nearby halo stars with 6D phase-space information. The algorithm identified a large number of clusters, many of which could tentatively be merged into larger groups.
Aims: The goal here is to estab…

Two temperate super-Earths transiting a nearby late-type M dwarf
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244041 Bibcode: 2022A&A...667A..59D

Context. In the age of JWST, temperate terrestrial exoplanets transiting nearby late-type M dwarfs provide unique opportunities for characterising their atmospheres, as well as searching for biosignature gases. In this context, the benchmark TRAPPIST-1 planetary system has garnered the interest of a broad scientific community.
Aims: We report…

We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of He, C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in the Milky Way using the deep optical spectra of 42 H II regions presented in Arellano-Córdova et al. (2020, 2021) and Méndez-Delgado et al. (2020) exploring the impact of: (1) new distance determinations based on Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and (2) the use of…
