Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs) are considered to be the ideal targets to probe the early phases of star formation. We have conducted a survey of 72 young dense cores inside PGCCs in the Orion complex with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 1.3 mm (band 6) using three different configurations (resolutions ∼0"35, 1"0, an…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. LP 714-47 b (TOI 442.01): populating the Neptune desert
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038016 Bibcode: 2020A&A...644A.127D

Barbieri, M.; Amado, P. J.; Bauer, F. F. +118 more

We report the discovery of a Neptune-like planet (LP 714-47 b, P = 4.05204 d, mb = 30.8 ± 1.5M, Rb = 4.7 ± 0.3 R) located in the "hot Neptune desert". Confirmation of the TESS Object of Interest (TOI 442.01) was achieved with radial-velocity follow-up using CARMENES, ESPRESSO, HIRES, iSHELL, and PFS, a…

Magnetic Reconnection Inside a Flux Rope Induced by Kelvin-Helmholtz Vortices
DOI: 10.1029/2019JA027665 Bibcode: 2020JGRA..12527665H

Liu, Y.; Russell, C. T.; Escoubet, C. P. +23 more

On 5 May 2017, MMS observed a crater-type flux rope on the dawnside tailward magnetopause with fluctuations. The boundary-normal analysis shows that the fluctuations can be attributed to nonlinear Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) waves. Reconnection signatures such as flow reversals and Joule dissipation were identified at the leading and trailing edges of t…

The Surprisingly Low Carbon Mass in the Debris Disk around HD 32297
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab7cc7 Bibcode: 2020ApJ...892...99C

Henning, Thomas; Hughes, A. Meredith; Redfield, Seth +18 more

Gas has been detected in a number of debris disks. It is likely secondary, I.e., produced by colliding solids. Here, we report ALMA Band 8 observations of neutral carbon in the CO-rich debris disk around the 15-30 Myr old A-type star HD 32297. We find that C0 is located in a ring at ∼110 au with an FWHM of ∼80 au and has a mass of (3.5 …

A multiplanet system of super-Earths orbiting the brightest red dwarf star GJ 887
DOI: 10.1126/science.aaz0795 Bibcode: 2020Sci...368.1477J

Amado, P. J.; Reiners, A.; Ribas, I. +28 more

The closet exoplanets to the Sun provide opportunities for detailed characterization of planets outside the Solar System. We report the discovery, using radial velocity measurements, of a compact multiplanet system of super-Earth exoplanets orbiting the nearby red dwarf star GJ 887. The two planets have orbital periods of 9.3 and 21.8 days. Assumi…

The multi-thermal chromosphere. Inversions of ALMA and IRIS data
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201937117 Bibcode: 2020A&A...634A..56D

De Pontieu, B.; Leenaarts, J.; da Silva Santos, J. M. +4 more

Context. Numerical simulations of the solar chromosphere predict a diverse thermal structure with both hot and cool regions. Observations of plage regions in particular typically feature broader and brighter chromospheric lines, which suggests that they are formed in hotter and denser conditions than in the quiet Sun, but also implies a nonthermal…

The high-redshift SFR-M* relation is sensitive to the employed star formation rate and stellar mass indicators: towards addressing the tension between observations and simulations
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa157 Bibcode: 2020MNRAS.492.5592K

Stalevski, M.; Baes, M.; Gonzalez, V. +9 more

There is a severe tension between the observed star formation rate (SFR)-stellar mass (M) relations reported by different authors at z = 1-4. In addition, the observations have not been successfully reproduced by state-of-the-art cosmological simulations that tend to predict a factor of 2-4 smaller SFRs at a fixed M. We exa…

Kochanek, C. S.; Pinsonneault, M. H.; Stanek, K. Z. +11 more

We characterize ${\sim } 71\, 200$ W Ursae Majoris (UMa) type (EW) contact binaries, including ${\sim } 12\, 600$ new discoveries, using All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAN-SN)V-band all-sky light curves along with archival data from Gaia, 2MASS, AllWISE, LAMOST, GALAH, RAVE, and APOGEE. There is a clean break in the EW period-luminosity…

Limits on the electromagnetic counterpart to S190814bv
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa161 Bibcode: 2020MNRAS.492.5916W

Butler, N. R.; Lee, W. H.; Watson, A. M. +11 more

We derive limits on any electromagnetic counterpart to the compact binary merger S190814bv, whose parameters are consistent with the merger of a black hole and a neutron star. We present observations with the new wide-field optical imager DDOTI and also consider Swift/BAT observations reported by Palmer et al. We show that Swift/BAT would have det…

The single star path to Be stars
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201937018 Bibcode: 2020A&A...633A.165H

Langer, Norbert; Hastings, Ben; Wang, Chen

Context. Be stars are rapidly rotating B main sequence stars that show line emission due to an outflowing disc. By studying the evolution of rotating single star models, we can assess their contribution to the observed Be star populations.
Aims: We identify the main effects that cause single stars to approach critical rotation as functions of…
