Is the Atmosphere of the Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121 b Variable?
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/ad1191 Bibcode: 2024ApJS..270...34C

Tsiaras, A.; Waldmann, I. P.; Morello, G. +12 more

We present a comprehensive analysis of the Hubble Space Telescope observations of the atmosphere of WASP-121 b, an ultra-hot Jupiter. After reducing the transit, eclipse, and phase-curve observations with a uniform methodology and addressing the biases from instrument systematics, sophisticated atmospheric retrievals are used to extract robust con…

JWST/NIRSpec Observations of Lyman α Emission in Star-forming Galaxies at 6.5 ≲ z ≲ 13
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad7eb7 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...975..208T

We present an analysis of JWST Lyα spectroscopy of z ≳ 6.5 galaxies, using observations in the public archive covering galaxies in four independent fields: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS)-N, GOODS-S, A2744, and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). We measure the Lyα emission line properties for a sample of 210 z ≃ 6.5–13 galaxies, with …

Planets between the sizes of Earth and Neptune are the most common in the Galaxy, bridging the gap between the terrestrial and giant planets in our solar system. Now that we are firmly in the era of JWST, we can begin to measure, in more detail, the atmospheres of these ubiquitous planets to better understand their evolutionary trajectories. The t…

The Structure and Morphology of Galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization Revealed by JWST
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acf1f6 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...960..104S

Ho, Luis C.; Zhuang, Ming-Yang; Li, Ruancun +3 more

We analyze 347 galaxies at redshift 4 < z < 9.5 using JWST observations from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) program by simultaneously fitting a two-dimensional parametric model to the seven-filter Near Infrared Camera images to measure the overall structural parameters and quantify the global properties of the galaxies in…

Galactic Archaeology with Gaia
DOI: 10.1016/j.newar.2024.101706 Bibcode: 2024NewAR..9901706D

Belokurov, Vasily; Deason, Alis J.

The Gaia mission has revolutionized our view of the Milky Way and its satellite citizens. The field of Galactic Archaeology has been piecing together the formation and evolution of the Galaxy for decades, and we have made great strides, with often limited data, towards discovering and characterizing the subcomponents of the Galaxy and its building…

From super-Earths to sub-Neptunes: Observational constraints and connections to theoretical models
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449911 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A..59P

Bouchy, François; Helled, Ravit; Parc, Léna +2 more

The growing number of well-characterized exoplanets smaller than Neptune enables us to conduct more detailed population studies. We have updated the PlanetS catalog of transiting planets with precise and robust mass and radius measurements and use this comprehensive catalog to explore mass-radius (M-R) diagrams. On the one hand, we propose new M-R…

The exquisite angular resolution and sensitivity of JWST are opening a new window for our understanding of the Universe. In nearby galaxies, JWST observations are revolutionizing our understanding of the first phases of star formation and the dusty interstellar medium. Nineteen local galaxies spanning a range of properties and morphologies across …

MaNGA AGN dwarf galaxies (MAD) - I. A new sample of AGNs in dwarf galaxies with spatially-resolved spectroscopy
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae292 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.528.5252M

Domínguez Sánchez, H.; Mezcua, M.

The finding of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in dwarf galaxies has important implications for galaxy evolution and supermassive black hole formation models. Yet, how AGNs in dwarf galaxies form is still debated, in part due to scant demographics. We use the MaNGA survey, comprising ~10 000 galaxies at z < 0.15, to identify AGN dwarf galaxies us…

Cohen, Roger E.; Brownstein, Joel R.; Majewski, Steven R. +17 more

We introduce the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)/ Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) value-added catalogue of Galactic globular cluster (GC) stars. The catalogue is the result of a critical search of the APOGEE Data Release 17 (DR17) catalogue for candidate members of all known Galactic GCs. Candidate members are assig…

The James Webb Space Telescope is revolutionizing our view of the Universe through unprecedented sensitivity and resolution in the infrared, with some of the largest gains realized at its longest wavelengths. We present the Systematic Mid-infrared Instrument (MIRI) Legacy Extragalactic Survey (SMILES), an eight-band MIRI survey with Near-Infrared …
