Dynamical Architectures of S-type Transiting Planets in Binaries. I. Target Selection Using Hipparcos and Gaia Proper Motion Anomalies
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad1189 Bibcode: 2024AJ....167...89Z

The effect of stellar multiplicity on planetary architecture and orbital dynamics provides an important context for exoplanet demographics. We present a volume-limited catalog of up to 300 pc of 66 stars hosting planets and planet candidates from Kepler, K2, and TESS with significant Hipparcos-Gaia proper motion anomalies, which indicates the pres…

Probing atmospheric escape through metastable He I triplet lines in 15 exoplanets observed with SPIRou
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449608 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A.179M

Moutou, C.; Carmona, A.; López-Puertas, M. +23 more

For several years, the metastable helium triplet line has been successfully used as a tracer to probe atmospheric escape in transiting exoplanets. This absorption in the near-infrared (1083.3 nm) can be observed from the ground using high-resolution spectroscopy, providing new constraints on the mass-loss rate and the temperature characterizing th…

Dark progenitors and massive descendants: A first ALMA perspective of radio-selected near-IR-dark galaxies in the COSMOS field
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348623 Bibcode: 2024A&A...687A.288G

Vallini, Livia; Zamorani, Giovanni; Daddi, Emanuele +19 more

We present the first spectroscopic ALMA follow-up for a pilot sample of nine radio-selected near-IR-dark galaxies in the COSMOS field. These sources were initially selected as radio-detected sources (S3 GHz > 12.65 µJy) without an optical or near-IR (NIR) counterpart in the COSMOS2015 catalog (Ks ≳ 24.7 mag), and just three of …

Cassini spacecraft reveals global energy imbalance of Saturn
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-48969-9 Bibcode: 2024NatCo..15.5045W

West, Robert A.; Nixon, Conor A.; Guillot, Tristan +16 more

The global energy budget is pivotal to understanding planetary evolution and climate behaviors. Assessing the energy budget of giant planets, particularly those with large seasonal cycles, however, remains a challenge without long-term observations. Evolution models of Saturn cannot explain its estimated Bond albedo and internal heat flux, mainly …

Young Stellar Objects in NGC 346: A JWST NIRCam/MIRI Imaging Survey
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad5343 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...971..108H

Hirschauer, Alec S.; Fahrion, Katja; Lenkić, Laura +17 more

We present a JWST imaging survey with NIRCam and MIRI of NGC 346, the brightest star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud. By combining aperture and point-spread function photometry of 11 wavelength bands across these two instruments, we have detected more than 200,000 unique sources. Using a near-infrared color analysis, we observe variou…

OGLE-BLAP-009 - a case study for the properties and evolution of blue large-amplitude pulsators
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3845 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.52710239B

Kupfer, Thomas; van Roestel, Jan; Bildsten, Lars +5 more

Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) make up a rare class of hot pulsating stars with effective temperatures of ≈30 000 K and surface gravities of 4.0-5.0 dex (cgs). The evolutionary origin and current status of BLAPs is not well understood, largely based on a lack of spectroscopic observations and no available mass constraints. However, several…

The properties of AGN in dwarf galaxies identified via SED fitting
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1441 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.532..613B

Smith, D. J. B.; Kaviraj, S.; Watkins, A. E. +5 more

Given their dominance of the galaxy number density, dwarf galaxies are central to our understanding of galaxy formation. While the incidence of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their impact on galaxy evolution have been extensively studied in massive galaxies, much less is known about the role of AGN in the evolution of dwarfs. We search for radia…

A Two-zone Accretion Disk in the Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654: Physical Implications for Tidal Disruption Events and Super-Eddington Accretion
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad77a5 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...975...50L

Ho, Luis C.; Ricci, Claudio; Trakhtenbrot, Benny +1 more

The properties of slim accretion disks, while crucial for our understanding of black hole growth, have yet to be studied extensively observationally. We analyze the multiepoch broadband spectral energy distribution of the changing-look active galactic nucleus 1ES 1927+654 to derive the properties of its complex, time-dependent accretion flow. The …

A first rapid synoptic magnetic field map using SDO/HMI and SO/PHI data
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346046 Bibcode: 2024A&A...681A..59L

Schmidt, W.; Woch, J.; Solanki, S. K. +47 more

Context. Traditionally, the observation time needed to build synoptic maps of the solar magnetic field is bound to the 27 days of a full Carrington rotation due to the single viewpoint from Earth.
Aims: Our aim is to reduce this observation time to 13.5 days by combining magnetograms from two vantage points, 180° apart in longitude in the ide…

The XXL Survey. LI. Pressure profile and YSZ − M scaling relation in three low-mass galaxy clusters at z ∼ 1 observed with NIKA2
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348049 Bibcode: 2024A&A...684A..18A

Berta, S.; Altieri, B.; Aussel, H. +64 more

Context. The thermodynamical properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) are driven by scale-free gravitational collapse, but they also reflect the rich astrophysical processes at play in galaxy clusters. At low masses (∼1014 M) and high redshift (z ≳ 1), these properties remain poorly constrained, observationally speaking, …
