Associated Molecular and Atomic Clouds with X-Ray Shell of Superbubble 30 Doradus C in the LMC
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac0adb Bibcode: 2021ApJ...918...36Y

30 Doradus C is a superbubble that emits the brightest non-thermal X- and TeV gamma-rays in the Local Group. To explore the detailed connection between the high-energy radiation and the interstellar medium, we have carried out new CO and HI observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), Atacama Submillimeter Telescope …

The Hubble PanCET program: Transit and Eclipse Spectroscopy of the Hot-Jupiter WASP-74b
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ac3008 Bibcode: 2021AJ....162..271F

Deming, Drake; Nikolov, Nikolay; Mikal-Evans, Thomas +12 more

Planets are like children with each one being unique and special. A better understanding of their collective properties requires a deeper understanding of each planet. Here we add the transit and eclipse spectra of hot-Jupiter WASP-74b into the ever growing data set of exoplanet atmosphere spectral library. With six transits and three eclipses usi…

Candidate z ∼ 2.5 Lyman Continuum Sources in the GOODS Fields
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/abd5b8 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...908..222J

Barger, A. J.; Cowie, L. L.; Jones, L. H.

We use the wealth of deep archival optical spectroscopy on the GOODS-South field from Keck, the VLT, and other facilities to select candidate high-redshift Lyman continuum (LyC) leakers in the Hubble Deep UV Legacy Survey (HDUV) data set. We select sources at $2.35\lt z\lt 3.05$ , where the HST/WFC3 F275W filter probes only the redshifted LyC. We …

Revisiting the formation mechanism for coronal rain from previous studies
DOI: 10.1088/1674-4527/21/10/255 Bibcode: 2021RAA....21..255L

Peter, Hardi; Chitta, Lakshmi Pradeep; Li, Le-Ping +1 more

Solar coronal rain is classified generally into two categories: flare-driven and quiescent coronal rain. Th latter is observed to form along both closed and open magnetic field structures. Recently, we proposed that some of the quiescent coronal rain events, detected in the transition region and chromospheric diagnostics, along loop-like paths cou…

Discovery of a young pre-intermediate polar

We present the discovery of a magnetic field on the white dwarf component in the detached post-common envelope binary (PCEB) CC Cet. Magnetic white dwarfs in detached PCEBs are extremely rare, in contrast to the high incidence of magnetism in single white dwarfs and cataclysmic variables. We find Zeeman-split absorption lines in both ultraviolet H…

Extinction in the Large Magellanic Cloud Bar around NGC 1854, NGC 1856, and NGC 1858
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac2a28 Bibcode: 2021ApJ...922..135D

Milone, Antonino P.; Panagia, Nino; De Marchi, Guido

We report on the extinction properties in the fields around the clusters NGC 1854, NGC 1856, and NGC 1858 in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The color-magnitude diagrams of the stars in all these regions show an elongated red giant clump that reveals a variable amount of extinction across these fields, ranging from A V ≃ 0.2 to…

We applied the revised M subdwarf classification criteria discussed in Zhang et al. to Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) DR7 and combined the result with the M subdwarf sample from Savcheva et al. to construct a new M subdwarf sample for further study. The atmospheric parameters for each object were derived from fi…

Multiwavelength observations reveal a faint candidate black hole X-ray binary in IGR J17285-2922
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2127 Bibcode: 2021MNRAS.507..330S

Maccarone, T. J.; Degenaar, N.; Wijnands, R. +18 more

IGR J17285-2922 is a known X-ray binary with a low peak 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity of ~ 1036 erg s-1 during outburst. IGR J17285-2922 exhibited two outbursts in 2003 and 2010 and went into outburst again in 2019. We have monitored this ~ 4-month long 2019 outburst with Swift in X-ray and the Very Large Array in radio. We have …

Core-collapse supernova subtypes in luminous infrared galaxies
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039240 Bibcode: 2021A&A...649A.134K

Gromadzki, M.; Galbany, L.; Inserra, C. +34 more

The fraction of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) occurring in the central regions of galaxies is not well constrained at present. This is partly because large-scale transient surveys operate at optical wavelengths, making it challenging to detect transient sources that occur in regions susceptible to high extinction factors. Here we present the di…

SCExAO/CHARIS Direct Imaging of A Low-mass Companion At A Saturn-like Separation from an Accelerating Young A7 Star
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ac29ba Bibcode: 2021AJ....162..251C

Currie, Thayne; Kwon, Jungmi; Tamura, Motohide +18 more

We present the SCExAO direct imaging discovery and characterization of a low-mass companion to the nearby young A7IV star, HD 91312. SCExAO/CHARIS JHK (1.1-2.4 µm) spectra and SCExAO/HiCIAO H-band imaging identify the companion over a two year baseline in a highly inclined orbit with a maximum projected separation of 8 au. The companion, HD …
