Environmental Effects on the Stellar Mass Function in a z ∼ 3.3 Overdensity of Galaxies in the COSMOS Field
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad5e78 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...971..169F

Cooper, M. C.; Urbano Stawinski, Stephanie M.; Hathi, Nimish +17 more

We present an analysis of the number density of galaxies as a function of stellar mass (i.e., the stellar mass function (SMF)) in the COSMOS field at z ∼ 3.3, making a comparison between the SMF in overdense environments and the SMF in the coeval field. In particular, this region contains the Elentári proto-supercluster, a system of six extended o…

VELOcities of CEpheids (VELOCE). I. High-precision radial velocities of Cepheids
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348400 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.177A

Spetsieri, Zoi T.; Anderson, Richard I.; Cruz Reyes, Mauricio +27 more

We present the first data release of VELOcities of CEpheids (VELOCE), dedicated to measuring the high-precision radial velocities (RVs) of Galactic classical Cepheids (henceforth, Cepheids). The first data release (VELOCE DR1) comprises 18 225 RV measurements of 258 bona fide classical Cepheids on both hemispheres collected mainly between 2010 and…

Active Dwarf Galaxy Database. I. Overlap between Active Galactic Nuclei Selected by Different Techniques
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad5442 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...971...68W

Wasleske, Erik J.; Baldassare, Vivienne F.

We assemble a sample of 733 dwarf galaxies (M * ≤ 109.5 M ) with signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and explore the intersection between different AGN-selection techniques. Objects in our database are compiled from previous studies that identify AGN in dwarf galaxies through spectroscopy, X-ray emission, i…

Multiphase Black Hole Feedback and a Bright [C II] Halo in a LoBAL Quasar at z ∼ 6.6
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad4a77 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...970....9B

Carniani, Stefano; Tripodi, Roberta; Lai, Samuel +18 more

Although the mass growth of supermassive black holes during the epoch of reionization is expected to play a role in shaping the concurrent growth of their host galaxies, observational evidence of feedback at z ≳ 6 is still sparse. We perform the first multiscale and multiphase characterization of black-hole-driven outflows in the z ∼ 6.6 quasar J0…

Constraints on the Lyman Continuum Escape from Low-mass Lensed Galaxies at 1.3 ≤ z ≤ 3.0
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad554d Bibcode: 2024ApJ...971..175J

Finkelstein, Steven L.; Ferguson, Henry C.; Grazian, Andrea +17 more

Low-mass galaxies can significantly contribute to reionization due to their potentially high Lyman continuum (LyC) escape fraction and relatively high space density. We present a constraint on the LyC escape fraction from low-mass galaxies at z = 1.3–3.0. We obtained rest-frame UV continuum imaging with the ACS/SBC and the WFC3/UVIS from the Hubbl…

Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances with JWST. II. I-band Measurements in a Sample of Hosts of 10 Type Ia Supernova Match HST Cepheids
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad84f3 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...976..177L

Casertano, Stefano; Li, Siyang; Riess, Adam G. +7 more

The Hubble Tension, a >5σ discrepancy between direct and indirect measurements of the Hubble constant (H 0), has persisted for a decade and motivated intense scrutiny of the paths used to infer H 0. Comparing independently derived distances for a set of galaxies with different standard candles, such as the tip of the red g…

The outer low-α disc of the Milky Way - I: evidence for the first pericentric passage of Sagittarius?
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3344 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.527.4505D

Huang, Yang; Fragkoudi, Francesca; Ciucă, Ioana +1 more

Phase-space data, chemistry, and ages together reveal a complex structure in the outer low-α disc of the Milky Way. The age-vertical velocity dispersion profiles beyond the Solar Neighbourhood show a jump at 6 Gyr for stars beyond the Galactic plane. Stars older than 6 Gyr are significantly hotter than younger stars. The chemistry and age histogra…

Survey of gravitationally lensed objects in HSC imaging (SuGOHI) - IX. Discovery of strongly lensed quasar candidates
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad2953 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.527.6253C

Oguri, Masamune; Wong, Kenneth C.; Suyu, Sherry H. +7 more

We report the discovery of new lensed quasar candidates in the imaging data of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) Data Release 4, covering $1\, 310\deg ^2$ of the sky with median seeing in the i band of ≈0.6 arcsec. In addition to two catalogues of Million Quasars Catalog v7.2 and AllWISE Catalog of Mid-Infra Red Active Galac…

KRATOS: A large suite of N-body simulations to interpret the stellar kinematics of LMC-like discs
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202349058 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A..51J

Luri, X.; Bernet, M.; Chemin, L. +4 more

Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observat…

MINDS: A multi-instrument investigation into the molecule-rich JWST-MIRI spectrum of the DF Tau binary system
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450768 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A..85G

Banzatti, Andrea; Henning, Thomas; Güdel, Manuel +26 more

Context. The majority of young stars form in multiple systems, the properties of which can significantly impact the evolution of any circumstellar disks. Aims. We investigate the physical and chemical properties of the equal-mass, small-separation (~66 milliarcsecond, ~9 au) binary system DF Tau. Previous spatially resolved observations indicate t…
