Context. The study of the Milky Way is living a golden era thanks to the enormous high-quality datasets delivered by Gaia, and space asteroseismic and ground-based spectroscopic surveys. However, the current major challenge to reconstructing the chronology of the Milky Way is the difficulty to derive precise stellar ages for large samples of stars…

MIDIS: JWST NIRCam and MIRI Unveil the Stellar Population Properties of Lyα Emitters and Lyman-break Galaxies at z ≃ 3–7
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad15f6 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963...97I

Pérez-González, Pablo G.; Costantin, Luca; Boogaard, Leindert A. +29 more

We study the stellar population properties of 182 spectroscopically confirmed (MUSE/VLT) Lyα emitters (LAEs) and 450 photometrically selected Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z = 2.8–6.7 in the Hubble Extreme Deep Field. Leveraging the combined power of Hubble Space Telescope and JWST NIRCam and MIRI observations, we analyze their rest-frame UV-thro…

A new step forward in realistic cluster lens mass modelling: analysis of Hubble Frontier Field Cluster Abell S1063 from joint lensing, X-ray, and galaxy kinematics data
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3308 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.527.3246B

Koekemoer, Anton M.; Mahler, Guillaume; Richard, Johan +14 more

We present a new method to simultaneously and self-consistently model the mass distribution of galaxy clusters that combines constraints from strong lensing features, X-ray emission, and galaxy kinematics measurements. We are able to successfully decompose clusters into their collisionless and collisional mass components thanks to the X-ray surfac…

The broken-exponential radial structure and larger size of the Milky Way galaxy
DOI: 10.1038/s41550-024-02315-7 Bibcode: 2024NatAs...8.1302L

Imig, Julie; Chen, Bingqiu; Wang, Tao +4 more

The radial structure of a galaxy is a fundamental property that reflects its growth and assembly history. Although it is straightforward to measure that of external galaxies, it is challenging for the Milky Way because of our inside perspective. Traditionally, the radial structure of the Milky Way has been assumed to be characterized by a single-e…

JWST MIRI MRS Images of Disk Winds, Water, and CO in an Edge-on Protoplanetary Disk
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad35c9 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...965L..13A

van Dishoeck, E. F.; Melnick, G. J.; Boogert, A. C. A. +14 more

We present JWST MIRI MRS observations of the edge-on protoplanetary disk around the young subsolar-mass star Tau 042021, acquired as part of the Cycle 1 GO program "Mapping Inclined Disk Astrochemical Signatures." These data resolve the mid-IR spatial distributions of H2, revealing X-shaped emission extending to ∼200 au above the disk m…

NGDEEP Epoch 1: Spatially Resolved Hα Observations of Disk and Bulge Growth in Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 0.6–2.2 from JWST NIRISS Slitless Spectroscopy
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad28bd Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963L..49S

Papovich, Casey; Finkelstein, Steven L.; Pérez-González, Pablo G. +21 more

We study the Hα equivalent width (EW(Hα)) maps of 19 galaxies at 0.6 < z < 2.2 in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field using NIRISS slitless spectroscopy as part of the Next Generation Deep Extragalactic Exploratory Public Survey. Our galaxies mostly lie on the star formation main sequence with stellar masses between 109 and 1011

A flexible deep learning crater detection scheme using Segment Anything Model (SAM)
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2023.115797 Bibcode: 2024Icar..40815797G

Giannakis, Iraklis; Bhardwaj, Anshuman; Sam, Lydia +1 more

Craters are one of the most important morphological features in planetary exploration. To that extent, detecting, mapping and counting craters is a mainstream process in planetary science, done primarily manually, which is a very laborious, time-consuming and inconsistent process. Recently, machine learning (ML) and computer vision have been succe…

MINDS: The DR Tau disk. I. Combining JWST-MIRI data with high-resolution CO spectra to characterise the hot gas
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348911 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.117T

Henning, Thomas; Waters, L. B. F. M.; Güdel, Manuel +29 more

Context. The MRS mode of the JWST-MIRI instrument has been shown to be a powerful tool to characterise the molecular gas emission of the inner region of planet-forming disks. Investigating their spectra allows us to infer the composition of the gas in these regions and, subsequently, the potential atmospheric composition of the forming planets. We…

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Time-domain Field (TDF) is a >14' diameter field optimized for multiwavelength time-domain science with JWST. It has been observed across the electromagnetic spectrum both from the ground and from space, including with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). As part of HST observations o…

Discrepancies in the Properties of a Coronal Mass Ejection on Scales of 0.03 au as Revealed by Simultaneous Measurements at Solar Orbiter and Wind: The 2021 November 3–5 Event
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad1883 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...962..190R

Simultaneous in situ measurements of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), including both plasma and magnetic field, by two spacecraft in radial alignment have been extremely rare. Here, we report on one such CME measured by Solar Orbiter (SolO) and Wind on 2021 November 3–5, while the spacecraft were radially separated by a heliocentric distance of 0.13…
