AGN feedback in the Local Universe: Multiphase outflow of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 5506
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449245 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A..46E

Vallini, Livia; Alonso-Herrero, Almudena; Ricci, Claudio +21 more

We present new optical GTC/MEGARA seeing-limited (0.9″) integral-field observations of NGC 5506, together with ALMA observations of the CO(3 − 2) transition at a 0.2″ (∼25 pc) resolution. NGC 5506 is a luminous (bolometric luminosity of ∼1044 erg s−1) nearby (26 Mpc) Seyfert galaxy, part of the Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Out…

The Green Monster Hiding in Front of Cas A: JWST Reveals a Dense and Dusty Circumstellar Structure Pockmarked by Ejecta Interactions
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad855d Bibcode: 2024ApJ...976L...4D

Temim, Tea; Rest, Armin; Blair, William P. +27 more

JWST observations of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A revealed an unexpected structure seen as a green emission feature in colored composite MIRI F1130W and F1280W images—hence dubbed the Green Monster—that stretches across the central parts of the remnant in projection. Combining the kinematic information from NIRSpec and the MIR…

X-Ray and Multiwavelength Polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad63a1 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...974...50C

Kaaret, Philip; Wu, Kinwah; Enoto, Teruaki +143 more

We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk 501 over a 14 month period. The 2–8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) with six 100 ks observations spanning from 2022 March to 2023 April. Each IXPE observation was accompanied by simultaneous X-ray data from NuSTAR,…

Geminga's pulsar halo: An X-ray view
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450242 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A.326M

Woo, Jooyun; Hailey, Charles J.; Mori, Kaya +6 more

Geminga is the first pulsar around which a remarkable gamma-ray halo extending over a few degrees was discovered at TeV energies by MILAGRO and HAWC and later by H.E.S.S., and by Fermi-LAT in the GeV band. More middle-aged pulsars have exhibited gamma-ray halos, and they are now recognised as an emerging class of Galactic gamma-ray sources. The em…

Evidence of Ice-Rich Layered Deposits in the Medusae Fossae Formation of Mars
DOI: 10.1029/2023GL105490 Bibcode: 2024GeoRL..5105490W

Orosei, Roberto; Plaut, Jeffrey J.; Campbell, Bruce A. +4 more

Subsurface reflectors in radar sounder data from the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding instrument aboard the Mars Express spacecraft indicate significant dielectric contrasts between layers in the Martian Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF). Large density changes that create dielectric contrasts are less likely in deposits of …

JWST Mid-infrared Spectroscopy Resolves Gas, Dust, and Ice in Young Stellar Objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad18bc Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963...94N

Hirschauer, Alec S.; Lenkić, Laura; Meixner, Margaret +9 more

In this work, we present spectra of 11 young stellar objects (YSOs) taken with the Mid-Infrared Instrument / Medium Resolution Spectroscopy (MRS) instrument on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The YSOs are located in the N79 region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), an active star-forming region with hundreds of Spitzer- and Herschel…

Merging Signatures in an Offset Lyman Continuum Emitter at Redshift 3.8
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad75ff Bibcode: 2024ApJ...975...53Y

Zheng, Zhen-Ya; Cheng, Cheng; Yuan, Fang-Ting +3 more

Lyman continuum (LyC) emitters at z > 3 provide critical samples for studying the contribution of galaxies to the ionizing background in the epoch of reionization. We collect a sample of z > 3 LyC emitters, a dominant fraction (∼60%–70%) of which show spatial offsets between LyC emission and the nonionizing continuum. From this sample, espec…

Studying [C II] emission in low-mass galaxies at z 7
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1178 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.531..945G

Strait, Victoria; Fujimoto, Seiji; Vallini, Livia +8 more

We report on a $\rm {[CII]}_{158\mu \rm {m}}$ search using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on three lensed, confirmed Ly α emitting galaxies at z ~ 7. Our targets are ultraviolet (UV) faint systems with stellar masses on the order of M* ~ 109 M. We detect a single [C II] line emission (4σ) …

Comparative Analysis of Type III Radio Bursts and Solar Flares: Spatial Localization and Correlation with Solar Flare Intensity
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad12ba Bibcode: 2024ApJ...961...88K

Maksimovic, Milan; Szabo, Adam; Bale, Stuart D. +8 more

We present a comprehensive study of type III radio bursts and their association with solar flares of magnitude M1.0 and larger, as observed by four widely separated spacecraft (Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, STEREO-A, and Wind). Our main focus is the introduction and validation of two methods for localizing radio bursts using the available mul…

JWST/NIRCam Paβ Narrowband Imaging Reveals Ordinary Dust Extinction for Hα Emitters within the Spiderweb Protocluster at z = 2.16
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad8156 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...977...74P

Pérez-González, Pablo G.; Koyama, Yusei; Kodama, Tadayuki +7 more

We combine JWST/NIRCam and Subaru/MOIRCS dual Paβ+Hα narrowband imaging to trace the dust attenuation and the star formation activities of a sample of 43 Hα emitters at the core of one of the most massive and best-studied clusters in formation at the cosmic noon: the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.16. We find that most Hα emitters display Paβ/Hα …
