The evolution of the solar wind
DOI: 10.1007/s41116-021-00029-w Bibcode: 2021LRSP...18....3V

Vidotto, Aline A.

How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are intimately linked to the solar wind: rotation, magnetism and activity. Given that we cannot access data from the solar wind 4 billion years ago, this review relies on…

The LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey: Deep Fields Data Release 1. IV. Photometric redshifts and stellar masses
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038809 Bibcode: 2021A&A...648A...4D

Bondi, M.; Prandoni, I.; Bowler, R. A. A. +21 more

The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is a sensitive, high-resolution 120-168 MHz survey split across multiple tiers over the northern sky. The first LoTSS Deep Fields data release consists of deep radio continuum imaging at 150 MHz of the Boötes, European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory Survey-North 1, and Lockman Hol…

The Panchromatic Afterglow of GW170817: The Full Uniform Data Set, Modeling, Comparison with Previous Results, and Implications
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac1ffc Bibcode: 2021ApJ...922..154M

Frail, D. A.; Hallinan, G.; Murphy, E. J. +35 more

We present the full panchromatic afterglow light-curve data of GW170817, including new radio data as well as archival optical and X-ray data, between 0.5 and 940 days post-merger. By compiling all archival data and reprocessing a subset of it, we have evaluated the impact of differences in data processing or flux determination methods used by diff…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields. The star-formation rate-radio luminosity relation at low frequencies
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039343 Bibcode: 2021A&A...648A...6S

Bondi, M.; Prandoni, I.; Wang, L. +17 more

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between 150 MHz luminosity and the star-formation rate - the SFR-L150 MHz relation - using 150 MHz measurements for a near-infrared selected sample of 118 517 z < 1 galaxies. New radio survey data offer compelling advantages over previous generation surveys for studying star formation in…

Statistical Properties of Superflares on Solar-type Stars: Results Using All of the Kepler Primary Mission Data
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abc8f5 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...906...72O

Notsu, Yuta; Maehara, Hiroyuki; Namekata, Kosuke +5 more

We report the latest statistical analyses of superflares on solar-type (G-type main-sequence; effective temperature is 5100-6000 K) stars using all of the Kepler primary mission data and Gaia Data Release 2 catalog. We updated the flare detection method from our previous studies by using a high-pass filter to remove rotational variations caused by…

Photometric Study and Absolute Parameter Estimation of Six Totally Eclipsing Contact Binaries
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/abfc53 Bibcode: 2021AJ....162...13L

Guo, Ya-Ni; Li, Kai; Xia, Qi-Qi +6 more

High precision CCD observations of six totally eclipsing contact binaries were presented and analyzed. It is found that only one target is an A-type contact binary (V429 Cam), while the others are W-type contact ones. By analyzing the times of light minima, we discovered that two of them exhibit secular period increase while three manifest long-te…

Structures of Dwarf Satellites of Milky Way-like Galaxies: Morphology, Scaling Relations, and Intrinsic Shapes
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac2581 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...922..267C

Greene, Jenny E.; Beaton, Rachael L.; Carlsten, Scott G. +2 more

The structure of a dwarf galaxy is an important probe of the effects of stellar feedback and environment. Using an unprecedented sample of 223 low-mass satellites from the ongoing Exploration of Local Volume Satellites survey, we explore the structures of dwarf satellites in the mass range 105.5 < M < 108.5

Circumgalactic Mg II Emission from an Isotropic Starburst Galaxy Outflow Mapped by KCWI
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abd4e0 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...909..151B

Hennawi, Joseph F.; Prochaska, J. Xavier; Coil, Alison L. +3 more

We present spatially resolved spectroscopy from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) of a star-forming galaxy at z = 0.6942, which shows emission from the Mg II λλ2796, 2803 doublet in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) extending ∼37 kpc at 3σ significance in individual spaxels (1σ detection limit 4.8 × 10-19 erg s-1 cm-2

A Volume-limited Sample of Ultracool Dwarfs. I. Construction, Space Density, and a Gap in the L/T Transition
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/abc893 Bibcode: 2021AJ....161...42B

Magnier, Eugene A.; Dupuy, Trent J.; Liu, Michael C. +1 more

We present a new volume-limited sample of L0-T8 dwarfs out to 25 pc defined entirely by parallaxes, using our recent measurements from UKIRT/WFCAM along with Gaia DR2 and literature parallaxes. With 369 members, our sample is the largest parallax-defined volume-limited sample of L and T dwarfs to date, yielding the most precise space densities for…

On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab878 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.504..487K

Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik; Leroy, Adam K.; Chevance, Mélanie +23 more

Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, supernovae, and radiation pressure from massive stars. Recent observations of nearby galaxies have provided the evolutionary timeline between molecular clouds and exposed y…
