Resolved scaling relations and metallicity gradients on sub-kiloparsec scales at z ≈ 1
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz2114 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.489..224P

Mahler, G.; Richard, J.; Nanayakkara, T. +9 more

The existence of a spatially resolved star-forming main sequence (rSFMS) and a spatially resolved mass-metallicity relation (rMZR) is now well established for local galaxies. Moreover, gradients with metallicity decreasing with radius seem to be common in local disc galaxies. These observations suggest that galaxy formation is a self-regulating pr…

CMEs in the Heliosphere: II. A Statistical Analysis of the Kinematic Properties Derived from Single-Spacecraft Geometrical Modelling Techniques Applied to CMEs Detected in the Heliosphere from 2007 to 2017 by STEREO/HI-1
DOI: 10.1007/s11207-019-1444-4 Bibcode: 2019SoPh..294...57B

Rodriguez, L.; Möstl, C.; Kilpua, E. K. J. +10 more

Recent observations with the Heliospheric Imagers (HIs) onboard the twin NASA Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft have provided unprecedented observations of a large number of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the inner heliosphere. In this article we discuss the generation of the HIGeoCAT CME catalogue and perform a statist…

Interstellar polarization and extinction in the Local Bubble and the Gould Belt
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2978 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.483..299G

Gontcharov, George A.; Mosenkov, Aleksandr V.

We analyse an all-sky compilation of 13 data sources with optical interstellar linear polarization for 3871 Gaia DR2 and Hipparcos stars within 500 pc, which do not exhibit a considerable intrinsic polarization. These data are analysed together with five 3D maps and models of the reddening E(B - V). We consider variations of the polarization degre…

Local Manifestations of Cometary Activity
DOI: 10.1007/s11214-019-0596-8 Bibcode: 2019SSRv..215...30V

Keller, Horst Uwe; Skorov, Yuri; Vincent, Jean-Baptiste +5 more

Comets are made of volatile and refractory material and naturally experience various degrees of sublimation as they orbit around the Sun. This gas release, accompanied by dust, represents what is traditionally described as activity. Although the basic principles are well established, most details remain elusive, especially regarding the mechanisms…

Effects of the solar wind and the solar EUV flux on O+ escape rates from Venus
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2018.11.017 Bibcode: 2019Icar..321..379M

Fedorov, A.; Barabash, S.; Futaana, Y. +4 more

We investigate dependences of O+ escape rates from Venus both on the solar wind and the solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) flux by using the 8.5-year dataset (May 2006 to December 2014) of the Ion Mass Analyzer and the magnetometer aboard Venus Express. We examine the O+ escape rates for 8 different conditions depending on the s…

TOI-150b and TOI-163b: two transiting hot Jupiters, one eccentric and one inflated, revealed by TESS near and at the edge of the JWST CVZ
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz2433 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.490.1094K

Henning, Thomas; Kürster, Martin; Jordán, Andrés +51 more

We present the discovery of TYC9191-519-1b (TOI-150b, TIC 271893367) and HD271181b (TOI-163b, TIC 179317684), two hot Jupiters initially detected using 30-min cadence Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry from Sector 1 and thoroughly characterized through follow-up photometry (CHAT, Hazelwood, LCO/CTIO, El Sauce, TRAPPIST-S), hig…

Mass loss via solar wind and coronal mass ejections during solar cycles 23 and 24
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz1001 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.486.4671M

Wang, Yuming; Liu, Rui; Srivastava, Nandita +3 more

Similar to the Sun, other stars shed mass and magnetic flux via ubiquitous quasi-steady wind and episodic stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs). We investigate the mass loss rate via solar wind and CMEs as a function of solar magnetic variability represented in terms of sunspot number and solar X-ray background luminosity. We estimate the contribu…

Properties of central stars of planetary nebulae with distances in Gaia DR2
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201936162 Bibcode: 2019A&A...630A.150G

Dafonte, C.; González-Santamaría, I.; Manteiga, M. +2 more

Context. We have compiled a catalogue of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) with reliable distances and positions obtained from Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) astrometry. Distances derived from parallaxes allow us to analyse the galactic distribution and estimate other parameters such as sizes, kinematical ages, bolometric magnitudes, and lumino…

Early science with the Large Millimetre Telescope: An LMT/AzTEC 1.1 mm Survey of dense cores in the Monoceros R2 giant molecular cloud
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty3107 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.483..407S

Wilson, G. W.; Schloerb, F. P.; Luna, A. +7 more

We present a 1.1 mm census of dense cores in the Mon R2 giant molecular cloud with the AzTEC instrument on the Large Millimetre Telescope. We detect 295 cores (209 starless and 86 with protostars) in a two square degree shallow survey. We also carry out a deep follow-up survey of nine regions with low to intermediate (3 < AV < 7) …

We present new catalogs of M giant and M dwarf stars from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) data release 5 (DR5). In total, 39,796 M giants and 501,152 M dwarfs are identified from the classification pipeline. The template-fitting results contain M giants with 7 temperature subtypes from M0 to M6, M dwarfs with…
