González, J. F.; Jofré, E.; Jaque Arancibia, M. +6 more

Context. There is very little information to be found in the literature regarding the detection of planets orbiting chemically peculiar stars.
Aims: Our aim is to determine the detailed chemical composition of the remarkable planet host star KELT-17. This object hosts a hot-Jupiter planet with 1.31 MJup detected by transits, and it…

Study of the departures from LTE in the unevolved stars infrared spectra
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1707 Bibcode: 2020MNRAS.496.2462K

Bonifacio, P.; Caffau, E.; Oliva, E. +2 more

We present a study of departures from Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) in the formation of infrared (IR) lines of Na I, Mg I, Al I, S I, K I, and Sr II in unevolved stars of spectral types F, G, K and metallicities around the solar metallicity. The purpose of this investigation is to identify lines of these species that can be safely treated …

Electron Acceleration in a Magnetotail Reconnection Outflow Region Using Magnetospheric MultiScale Data
DOI: 10.1029/2019GL085080 Bibcode: 2020GeoRL..4785080E

Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Graham, Daniel B.; Vaivads, Andris +3 more

We study Magnetospheric MultiScale observations in the outflow region of magnetotail reconnection. We estimate the power density converted via the three fundamental electron acceleration mechanisms: Fermi, betatron, and parallel electric fields. The dominant mechanism, both on average and the peak values, is Fermi acceleration with a peak power de…

Neglected X-ray discovered polars. II. The peculiar eclipsing binary HY Eridani
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201936626 Bibcode: 2020A&A...634A..91B

Burwitz, V.; Beuermann, K.; Schwope, A. +2 more

We report on the X-ray observations of the eclipsing polar HY Eri (RX J0501-0359), along with its photometric, spectrophotometric, and spectropolarimetric optical variations, collected over 30 years. With an orbital period of 2.855 h, HY Eri falls near the upper edge of the 2-3 h period gap. After 2011, the system went into a pr…

Determination of the orbits of 62 moons of asteroids based on astrometric observations.
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa784 Bibcode: 2020MNRAS.494.2410E

Emelyanov, N. V.; Drozdov, A. E.

Based on all published astrometric observations, we have determined the moon orbits for asteroids using a model of the fixed Keplerian orbit. We applied 5-114 observations for each moon. As a result, we have determined the orbits of 62 moons. All results, including the orbital parameters obtained, are presented in the tables that are provided as s…

The GBT Diffuse Ionized Gas Survey: Tracing the Diffuse Ionized Gas around the Giant Hii Region W43
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab643e Bibcode: 2020ApJ...889...96L

Liu, Bin; Anderson, L. D.; Bania, T. M. +4 more

The Green Bank Telescope Diffuse Ionized Gas Survey (GDIGS) is a fully sampled radio recombination line (RRL) survey of the inner Galaxy at C-band (4-8 GHz). We average together ∼15 Hnα RRLs within the receiver bandpass to improve the spectral signal-to-noise ratio. The average beam size for the RRL observations at these frequencies is ∼2'. We gri…

APEX CO observations towards the photodissociation region of RCW 120
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202037713 Bibcode: 2020A&A...639A..93F

Zavagno, A.; Russeil, D.; Schuller, F. +3 more

Context. The edges of ionized (H II) regions are important sites for the formation of (high-mass) stars. Indeed, at least 30% of the Galactic high-mass-star formation is observed there. The radiative and compressive impact of the H II region could induce star formation at the border following different mechanisms such as the collect and collapse o…

Detection of a possible multiphase ultra-fast outflow in IRAS 13349+2438 with NuSTAR and XMM-Newton
DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/slaa144 Bibcode: 2020MNRAS.498L.140P

Schartel, N.; Santos-Lleó, M.; Fabian, A. C. +6 more

We present joint NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the bright, variable quasar IRAS 13349+2438. This combined data set shows two clear iron absorption lines at 8 and 9 keV, which are most likely associated with two layers of mildly relativistic blueshifted absorption, with velocities of ∼0.14c and ∼0.27c. We also find strong evidence for a ser…

Parametric Dependence of the Formation of Electron Butterfly Pitch Angle Distribution Driven by Magnetosonic Waves
DOI: 10.1029/2020JA027967 Bibcode: 2020JGRA..12527967Z

Fu, Song; Ni, Binbin; Gu, Xudong +10 more

Using the full relativistic test particle (TP) simulation code, we investigate the parametric dependence of electron scattering and phase space density evolution driven by magnetosonic (MS) waves at L = 4.5 both inside and outside the plasmapause. The scattering effects caused by Landau resonance, bounce resonance, and the transit-time effect are …

Multiwavelength investigation of extended green object G19.88-0.53: revealing a protocluster
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa2301 Bibcode: 2020MNRAS.497.5454I

Tej, Anandmayee; Liu, Tie; Ishwara Chandra, C. H. +5 more

A multiwavelength analysis of star formation associated with the extended green object, G19.88-0.53 is presented in this paper. With multiple detected radio and millimetre components, G19.88-0.53 unveils as harbouring a protocluster rather than a single massive young stellar object. We detect an ionized thermal jet using the upgraded Giant Meterwa…
