Compton-Thick AGN in the NuSTAR ERA VII. A joint NuSTAR, Chandra, and XMM-Newton Analysis of Two Nearby, Heavily Obscured Sources
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac1fee Bibcode: 2021ApJ...922..159T

Vignali, C.; Gilli, R.; Ajello, M. +11 more

We present the joint Chandra, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR analysis of two nearby Seyfert galaxies, NGC 3081 and ESO 565-G019. These are the only two having Chandra data in a larger sample of 10 low-redshift (z ≤ 0.05), candidates Compton-thick (CT) Active Galactic Nuclei selected in the 15-150 keV band with Swift-BAT that were still lacking NuSTAR data…

A search for satellite galaxies of nearby star-forming galaxies with resolved stars in LBT-SONG
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2447 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.507.4764G

Kochanek, Christopher S.; Sand, David J.; Peter, Annika H. G. +2 more

We present results from a resolved stellar population search for dwarf satellite galaxies of six nearby (D < 5 Mpc), sub-Milky Way mass hosts using deep (m ~ 27 mag) optical imaging from the Large Binocular Telescope. We perform image simulations to quantify our detection efficiency for dwarfs over a large range in luminosity and size, and deve…

Beyond Simple AGN Unification with Chandra-observed 3CRR Sources at 0.5 < z < 1
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abf3c0 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...913..134K

Azadi, Mojegan; Wilkes, Belinda J.; McDowell, Jonathan C. +14 more

Low-frequency radio selection finds radio-bright galaxies regardless of the amount of obscuration by gas and dust. We report Chandra observations of a complete 178 MHz-selected, and so orientation-unbiased, sample of 44 0.5 < z < 1 3CRR sources. The sample is comprised of quasars and narrow-line radio galaxies (NLRGs) with similar radio lumi…

Exploring the Stellar Rotation of Early-type Stars in the LAMOST Medium-resolution Survey. I. Catalog
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/ac1acf Bibcode: 2021ApJS..257...22S

Deng, Licai; de Grijs, Richard; Liu, Chao +3 more

We derive stellar parameters and abundances ("stellar labels") of 40,034 late-B and A-type main-sequence stars extracted from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope Medium Resolution Survey (LAMOST-MRS). The primary selection of our early-type sample was obtained from LAMOST Data Release 7 based on spectral-line indices. We …

The VLA Frontier Field Survey: A Comparison of the Radio and UV/Optical Size of 0.3 ≲ z ≲ 3 Star-forming Galaxies
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abe876 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...910..106J

Smail, I.; Dickinson, M.; Jiménez-Andrade, E. F. +6 more

To investigate the growth history of galaxies, we measure the rest-frame radio, ultraviolet (UV), and optical sizes of 98 radio-selected, star-forming galaxies (SFGs) distributed over 0.3 ≲ z ≲ 3 with a median stellar mass of $\mathrm{log}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })\approx 10.4$ . We compare the size of galaxy stellar disks, traced by rest-frame o…

SunCET: The Sun Coronal Ejection Tracker Concept
DOI: 10.1051/swsc/2021004 Bibcode: 2021JSWSC..11...20M

Veronig, Astrid M.; Dissauer, Karin; Chamberlin, Phillip C. +16 more

The Sun Coronal Ejection Tracker (SunCET) is an extreme ultraviolet imager and spectrograph instrument concept for tracking coronal mass ejections through the region where they experience the majority of their acceleration: the difficult-to-observe middle corona. It contains a wide field of view (0-4 R) imager and a 1 Å spectral-resolu…

Testing abundance-age relations beyond solar analogues with Kepler LEGACY stars
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039212 Bibcode: 2021A&A...646A..78M

Miglio, Andrea; Montalbán, Josefina; Morel, Thierry +2 more

The prospects of using abundance ratios as stellar age indicators appear promising for solar analogues, but the usefulness of this technique for stars spanning a much wider parameter space remains to be established. We present abundances of 21 elements in a sample of 13 bright FG dwarfs drawn from the Kepler LEGACY sample to examine the applicabil…

Exploring the dust content of galactic haloes with Herschel III. NGC 891
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa3583 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.502..969Y

Veilleux, S.; Martin, Crystal L.; Gordon, K. D. +6 more

We present deep far-infrared observations of the nearby edge-on galaxy NGC 891 obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The maps confirm the detection of thermal emission from the inner circumgalactic medium (halo) and spatially resolve a dusty superbubble and a dust spur (filament). The dust temperature of the…

The Milky Way, coming into focus: Precision astrometry probes its evolution and its dark matter
DOI: 10.1016/j.ppnp.2021.103904 Bibcode: 2021PrPNP.12103904G

Yanny, Brian; Gardner, Susan; McDermott, Samuel D.

The growing trove of precision astrometric observations from the Gaia space telescope and other surveys is revealing the structure and dynamics of the Milky Way in ever more exquisite detail. We summarize the current status of our understanding of the structure and the characteristics of the Milky Way, and we review the emerging picture: the Milky…

DR 21 South Filament: A Parsec-sized Dense Gas Accretion Flow onto the DR 21 Massive Young Cluster
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abd03a Bibcode: 2021ApJ...908...70H

Qiu, Keping; Li, Guangxing; Liu, Junhao +8 more

DR 21 south filament (DR21SF) is a unique component of the giant network of filamentary molecular clouds in the north region of the Cygnus X complex. Unlike the highly fragmented and star-forming active environment wherein it resides, DR21SF exhibits a coherent profile in the column density map with very few star formation signposts, even though t…
