ViCTORIA project: The LOFAR view of environmental effects in Virgo cluster star-forming galaxies
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348301 Bibcode: 2024A&A...683A.149E

Context. Environmental effects such as ram pressure stripping (RPS) shape the evolution of galaxies in dense regions.
Aims: We used the nearby Virgo cluster as a laboratory to study the environmental effects on the nonthermal components of star-forming galaxies.
Methods: We constructed a sample of 17 RPS galaxies in the Virgo cluster and…

XLSSC 122 caught in the act of growing up: Spatially resolved SZ observations of a z = 1.98 galaxy cluster
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348213 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A..41V

Context. How protoclusters evolved from sparse galaxy overdensities to mature galaxy clusters is still not well understood. In this context, detecting and characterizing the hot intracluster medium (ICM) at high redshifts (z ∼ 2) is key to understanding how the continuous accretion from the filamentary large-scale structure and the mergers along i…

A Sample of Compact Object Candidates in Single-lined Spectroscopic Binaries from LAMOST Medium-resolution Survey
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad4c6f Bibcode: 2024ApJ...969..114L

Gu, Wei-Min; Yi, Tuan; Zhang, Zhi-Xiang +3 more

The stellar spectra from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) medium-resolution survey can be used to search for compact objects in binaries. The LAMOST Data Release 10 catalog includes >980,000 targets with multiple medium-resolution spectra. We select the targets with large or rapid radial-velocity variation,…

Determining the parameters of the spiral arms of the Galaxy from kinematic tracers based on Gaia DR3 data
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3350 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.527.1472D

Akhmetov, V. S.; Fedorov, P. N.; Velichko, A. B. +2 more

We present the results of determining the parameters of the spiral arms of the Galaxy using the stars Gaia DR3, whose absolute magnitude is MG < 4, and which allow tracing spiral arms at large distances from the Sun. As tracers of spiral arms, we use the centroids of stellar spherical regions with a radius of 0.5 kpc, in which the de…

The Extended [C II] under Construction? Observation of the Brightest High-z Lensed Star-forming Galaxy at z = 6.2
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad0f95 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...961...71F

Ravindranath, Swara; Mahler, Guillaume; Henry, Alaina +27 more

We present results of [C II] 158 µm emission line observations, and report the spectroscopic redshift confirmation of a strongly lensed (µ ~ 20) star-forming galaxy, MACS0308-zD1 at z = 6.2078 ± 0.0002. The [C II] emission line is detected with a signal-to-noise ratio >6 within the rest-frame UV-bright clump of the lensed galaxy (zD…

TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad543b Bibcode: 2024AJ....168...81S

Vanderburg, Andrew; Rice, Malena; Tan, Thiam-Guan +53 more

The degree of alignment between a star's spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur during planet formation and evolution. Hot Jupiters orbiting hot stars (≳6250 K) display a wide range of obliquities, while similar planets orbiting cool stars are pref…

The TRAPUM Small Magellanic Cloud pulsar survey with MeerKAT - I. Discovery of seven new pulsars and two Pulsar Wind Nebula associations
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1310 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.531.2835C

Filipović, M. D.; Possenti, A.; Kramer, M. +17 more

The sensitivity of the MeerKAT radio interferometer is an opportunity to probe deeper into the population of rare and faint extragalactic pulsars. The TRAPUM (TRAnsients and PUlsars with MeerKAT) collaboration has conducted a radio-domain search for accelerated pulsars and transients in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This partially targeted sur…

The First Catalog of Candidate White Dwarf–Main-sequence Binaries in Open Star Clusters: A New Window into Common Envelope Evolution
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad7500 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...976..102G

Drout, Maria R.; Muirhead, Philip S.; Speagle, Joshua S. +3 more

Close binary systems are the progenitors to both Type Ia supernovae and the compact object mergers that can be detected via gravitational waves. To achieve a binary with a small radial separation, it is believed that the system likely undergoes common envelope (CE) evolution. Despite its importance, CE evolution may be one of the largest uncertain…

Assembling a high-precision abundance catalogue of solar twins in GALAH for phylogenetic studies
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae280 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.529.2946W

Buder, Sven; Jofré, Paula; Aguilera-Gómez, Claudia +13 more

Stellar chemical abundances have proved themselves a key source of information for understanding the evolution of the Milky Way, and the scale of major stellar surveys such as GALAH have massively increased the amount of chemical data available. However, progress is hampered by the level of precision in chemical abundance data as well as the visua…

The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey: X-ray beacons at late cosmic dawn
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451035 Bibcode: 2024A&A...691A..30W

Salvato, M.; Buchner, J.; Nandra, K. +12 more

Context. The Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG)/extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) All-Sky Survey (eRASS) is expected to contain ∼100 quasars that emitted their light when the universe was less than a billion years old, that is, at z > 5.6. By selection, these quasars populate the bright end of the active galactic nuc…
