Structures Of Dust and gAs (SODA): Constraining the innermost dust properties of II Zw96 with JWST observations of H2O and CO
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348744 Bibcode: 2024A&A...682L...5G

Rigopoulou, D.; Efstathiou, A.; González-Alfonso, E. +4 more

We analyze JWST NIRSpec+MIRI/MRS observations of the infrared (IR) gas-phase molecular bands of the most enshrouded source (D1) within the interacting system and luminous IR galaxy II Zw 096. We report the detection of rovibrational lines of H2O ν2 = 1 − 0 (∼5.3-7.2 µm) and 12CO ν = 1 − 0 (∼4.45-4.95 µm…

An almost dark galaxy with the mass of the Small Magellanic Cloud
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347667 Bibcode: 2024A&A...681A..15M

Trujillo, Ignacio; Karunakaran, Ananthan; Spekkens, Kristine +9 more

Almost dark galaxies are objects that have eluded detection by traditional surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The low surface brightness of these galaxies (µr(0) > 26 mag arcsec−2), and hence their low surface stellar mass density (a few solar masses per pc2 or less), suggest that the ene…

Multispacecraft Observations of a Widespread Solar Energetic Particle Event on 2022 February 15–16
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad167f Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963..107K

Holmström, M.; Lario, D.; Palmerio, E. +37 more

On 2022 February 15–16, multiple spacecraft measured one of the most intense solar energetic particle (SEP) events observed so far in Solar Cycle 25. This study provides an overview of interesting observations made by multiple spacecraft during this event. Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and BepiColombo were close to each other at 0.34–0.37 au (a radial …

Chemodynamical models of our Galaxy
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3312 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.527.1915B

Vasiliev, Eugene; Binney, James

A chemodynamical model of our Galaxy is fitted to data from DR17 of the APOGEE survey supplemented with data from the StarHorse catalogue and Gaia DR3. Dynamically, the model is defined by action-based distribution functions for dark matter and six stellar components plus a gas disc. The gravitational potential jointly generated by the model's com…

Ground-based and JWST Observations of SN 2022pul. I. Unusual Signatures of Carbon, Oxygen, and Circumstellar Interaction in a Peculiar Type Ia Supernova
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad0975 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...960...88S

Temim, Tea; Filippenko, Alexei V.; Coulter, David A. +79 more

Nebular-phase observations of peculiar Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide important constraints on progenitor scenarios and explosion dynamics for both these rare SNe and the more common, cosmologically useful SNe Ia. We present observations from an extensive ground- and space-based follow-up campaign to characterize SN 2022pul, a super-Chandrase…

Lense-Thirring precession after a supermassive black hole disrupts a star
DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07433-w Bibcode: 2024Natur.630..325P

Loewenstein, Michael; Pasham, Dheeraj R.; Guolo, Muryel +8 more

An accretion disk formed around a supermassive black hole after it disrupts a star is expected to be initially misaligned with respect to the equatorial plane of the black hole. This misalignment induces relativistic torques (the Lense-Thirring effect) on the disk, causing the disk to precess at early times, whereas at late times the disk aligns w…

OH as a probe of the warm-water cycle in planet-forming disks
DOI: 10.1038/s41550-024-02203-0 Bibcode: 2024NatAs...8..577Z

Gordon, Karl D.; Onaka, Takashi; Fuente, Asunción +51 more

Water is a key ingredient for the emergence of life as we know it. Yet, its destruction and reformation in space remain unprobed in warm gas (T > 300 K). Here we detect with the James Webb Space Telescope the emission of the hydroxyl radical (OH) from d203-506, a planet-forming disk exposed to external far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. These obs…

Census for the rest-frame optical and UV morphologies of galaxies at z = 4-10: First phase of inside-out galaxy formation
DOI: 10.1093/pasj/psae004 Bibcode: 2024PASJ...76..219O

Ono, Yoshiaki; Ouchi, Masami; Harikane, Yuichi +7 more

We present the rest-frame optical and UV surface brightness (SB) profiles for 149 galaxies with Mopt < -19.4 mag at z = 4-10 (29 of which are spectroscopically confirmed with JWST NIRSpec), securing high signal-to-noise ratios of 10-135 with deep JWST NIRCam 1-$5\, \mu$m images obtained by the CEERS survey. We derive morphologies of …

Characterising TOI-732 b and c: New insights into the M-dwarf radius and density valley
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348180 Bibcode: 2024A&A...682A..66B

Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M.; Erikson, A. +88 more

Context. TOI-732 is an M dwarf hosting two transiting planets that are located on the two opposite sides of the radius valley. Inferring a reliable demographics for this type of systems is key to understanding their formation and evolution mechanisms.
Aims: By doubling the number of available space-based observations and increasing the number…
