The Effects of Biconical Outflows on Lyα Escape from Green Peas
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abc7c3 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...906..104C

Scarlata, Claudia; Henry, Alaina; Carr, Cody +1 more

We analyze the spectra of 10 Green Pea galaxies, previously studied by Henry et al., using a semi-analytical line transfer model to interpret emission and absorption features observed in UV galactic spectra. We focus our analysis on various ionization states of silicon, associated with the cool (∼104 K) and warm (∼105 K) gas.…

Propagating brightenings in small loop-like structures in the quiet-Sun corona: Observations from Solar Orbiter/EUI
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202142041 Bibcode: 2021A&A...656L..16M

Teriaca, Luca; Solanki, Sami K.; Schühle, Udo +6 more

Brightenings observed in solar extreme-ultraviolet images are generally interpreted as signatures of micro- or nanoflares occurring in the transition region or at coronal temperatures. Recent observations with the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter have revealed the smallest of such brightenings (called campfires) in the quiet…

Galaxy Properties at the Faint End of the H I Mass Function
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac03ae Bibcode: 2021ApJ...918...23M

McQuinn, Kristen B. W.; Cannon, John M.; Dolphin, Andrew E. +9 more

The Survey of H I in Extremely Low-mass Dwarfs (SHIELD) includes a volumetrically complete sample of 82 gas-rich dwarfs with ${M}_{{\rm{H}}\,{\rm\small{I}}}\lesssim {10}^{7.2}$ ${M}_{\odot }$ selected from the ALFALFA survey. We are obtaining extensive follow-up observations of the SHIELD galaxies to study their gas, stellar, and chemical content,…

The Blue Supergiant Progenitor of the Supernova Imposter AT 2019krl
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac09e1 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...917...63A

Van Dyk, Schuyler D.; Filippenko, Alexei V.; Kochanek, C. S. +20 more

Extensive archival Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, and Large Binocular Telescope imaging of the recent intermediate-luminosity transient, AT 2019krl in M74, reveal a bright optical and mid-infrared progenitor star. While the optical peak of the event was missed, a peak was detected in the infrared with an absolute magnitude of M

Far-ultraviolet Spectra of Main-sequence O Stars at Extremely Low Metallicity
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac1ce2 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...922..191T

McQuinn, Kristen B. W.; Chisholm, John; Berg, Danielle A. +1 more

Metal-poor massive stars dominate the light we observe from star-forming dwarf galaxies and may have produced the bulk of energetic photons that reionized the universe at high redshift. Yet, the rarity of observations of individual O stars below the 20% solar metallicity (Z ) of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hampers our ability to m…

The Global Magneto-ionic Medium Survey: A Faraday Depth Survey of the Northern Sky Covering 1280-1750 MHz
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/abf7c1 Bibcode: 2021AJ....162...35W

Leahy, J. P.; Kothes, R.; Gaensler, B. M. +17 more

The Galactic interstellar medium hosts a significant magnetic field, which can be probed through the synchrotron emission produced from its interaction with relativistic electrons. Linearly polarized synchrotron emission is generated throughout the Galaxy and, at longer wavelengths, modified along nearly every path by Faraday rotation in the inter…

Asteroseismology of evolved stars to constrain the internal transport of angular momentum. IV. Internal rotation of Kepler-56 from an MCMC analysis of the rotational splittings
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202140518 Bibcode: 2021A&A...654A.133F

Buldgen, G.; Khan, S.; Eggenberger, P. +4 more

Context. The observations of global stellar oscillations of post-main-sequence stars by space-based photometry missions have allowed us to directly determine their internal rotation. These constraints have pointed towards the existence of angular momentum transport processes not accounted for in theoretical models. Constraining the properties of t…

Identification of AKARI infrared sources by the Deep HSC Optical Survey: construction of a new band-merged catalogue in the North Ecliptic Pole Wide field
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa3359 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.500.4078K

Momose, Rieko; Hashimoto, Tetsuya; Goto, Tomotsugu +21 more

The North Ecliptic Pole field is a natural deep-field location for many satellite observations. It has been targeted many times since it was surveyed by the AKARI space telescope with its unique wavelength coverage from the near- to mid-infrared (mid-IR). Many follow-up observations have been carried out, making this field one of the most frequent…

Semi-regular red giants as distance indicators. I. The period-luminosity relations of semi-regular variables revisited
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202142022 Bibcode: 2021A&A...656A..66T

Mowlavi, N.; Lebzelter, T.; Trabucchi, M.

Context. Semi-regular variables (SRVs) are similar to Miras in brightness, and they also follow one or more period-luminosity relations (PLRs), though not necessarily the same one as Miras. As potential standard candles they are more challenging than Miras because of their smaller variability amplitudes and less regular light curves, but they are …
