Measuring and Replicating the 1-20 µm Energy Distributions of the Coldest Brown Dwarfs: Rotating, Turbulent, and Nonadiabatic Atmospheres
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac0cfe Bibcode: 2021ApJ...918...11L

Marley, Mark; Dupuy, Trent J.; Caselden, Dan +7 more

Cold, low-mass, field brown dwarfs are important for constraining the terminus of the stellar mass function, and also for optimizing atmospheric studies of exoplanets. In 2020 new model grids for such objects were made available: Sonora-Bobcat and ATMO 2020. Also, new candidate cold brown dwarfs were announced, and new spectroscopic observations a…

Threaded-field-line Model for the Low Solar Corona Powered by the Alfvén Wave Turbulence
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abc000 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...908..172S

Jin, Meng; Sokolov, Igor V.; Gombosi, Tamas I. +6 more

We present an updated global model of the solar corona, including the transition region. We simulate the realistic three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field using the data from the photospheric magnetic field measurements and assume the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Alfvén wave turbulence and its nonlinear dissipation to be the only source for heating the…

AGN feeding and feedback in Fornax A. Kinematical analysis of the multi-phase ISM
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202141143 Bibcode: 2021A&A...656A..45M

Gaspari, M.; Serra, P.; Smirnov, O. +10 more

We present a multi-wavelength study of the gaseous medium surrounding the nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN), Fornax A. Using MeerKAT, ALMA, and MUSE observations, we reveal a complex distribution of the atomic (H I), molecular (CO), and ionised gas in its centre and along the radio jets. By studying the multi-scale kinematics of the multi-phase…

GALExtin: an alternative online tool to determine the interstellar extinction in the Milky Way
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2248 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.508.1788A

Moitinho, André; Amôres, Eduardo B.; Jesus, Ricardo M. +6 more

Estimates of interstellar extinction are essential in a broad range of astronomical research. In the last decades, several maps and models of the large-scale interstellar extinction in the Galaxy have been published. However, these maps and models have been developed in different programming languages, with different user interfaces and input/outp…

Stereoscopy of extreme UV quiet Sun brightenings observed by Solar Orbiter/EUI
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202141010 Bibcode: 2021A&A...656A..35Z

Barczynski, K.; Haberreiter, M.; Mierla, M. +27 more

Context. The three-dimensional fine structure of the solar atmosphere is still not fully understood as most of the available observations are taken from a single vantage point.
Aims: The goal of the paper is to study the three-dimensional distribution of the small-scale brightening events ("campfires") discovered in the extreme-UV quiet Sun b…

The JCMT BISTRO Survey: Revealing the Diverse Magnetic Field Morphologies in Taurus Dense Cores with Sensitive Submillimeter Polarimetry
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/abeb1c Bibcode: 2021ApJ...912L..27E

Zhang, Yapeng; Pattle, Kate; Ward-Thompson, Derek +142 more

We have obtained sensitive dust continuum polarization observations at 850 µm in the B213 region of Taurus using POL-2 on SCUBA-2 at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as part of the B-fields in STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey. These observations allow us to probe magnetic field (B-field) at high spatial resolution (∼2000 au …

A Spitzer survey of Deep Drilling Fields to be targeted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa3714 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.501..892L

Surace, J. A.; Clements, D. L.; van Kampen, E. +60 more

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will observe several Deep Drilling Fields (DDFs) to a greater depth and with a more rapid cadence than the main survey. In this paper, we describe the 'DeepDrill' survey, which used the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) to observe three of the four currently de…

Disruption of Hierarchical Clustering in the Vela OB2 Complex and the Cluster Pair Collinder 135 and UBC 7 with Gaia EDR3: Evidence of Supernova Quenching
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac2838 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...923...20P

Tang, Shih-Yun; Hong, Jongsuk; Pang, Xiaoying +4 more

We identify hierarchical structures in the Vela OB2 complex and the cluster pair Collinder 135 and UBC 7 with Gaia EDR3 using the neural network machine-learning algorithm StarGO. Five second-level substructures are disentangled in Vela OB2, which are referred to as Huluwa 1 (Gamma Velorum), Huluwa 2, Huluwa 3, Huluwa 4, and Huluwa 5. For the firs…

Evidence of Small Scale Plasma Irregularity Effects on Whistler Mode Chorus Propagation
DOI: 10.1029/2021GL092850 Bibcode: 2021GeoRL..4892850H

Agapitov, Oleksiy; Hosseini, Poorya; Harid, Vijay +1 more

The impact of randomly distributed field aligned density irregularities on whistler mode wave propagation is investigated using full wave simulations and multipoint spacecraft observations. The irregularities are modeled as randomized density perturbations between 1% and 10% of the nominal background density value with scales of ∼10-60 km transver…

Flux Ropes, Turbulence, and Collisionless Perpendicular Shock Waves: High Plasma Beta Case
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abf7c8 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...913..127Z

Zhao, L. L.; Zank, G. P.; Adhikari, L. +4 more

With the onset of solar maximum and the expected increased prevalence of interplanetary shock waves, Parker Solar Probe is likely to observe numerous shocks in the next few years. An outstanding question that has received surprisingly little attention has been how turbulence interacts with collisionless shock waves. Turbulence in the supersonic so…
