Properties of Density and Velocity Gaps Induced by a Planet in a Protoplanetary Disk
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab3fab Bibcode: 2019ApJ...884..142G

Han, Cheongho; Bae, Jaehan; Kim, Woong-Tae +1 more

Gravitational interactions between a protoplanetary disk and its embedded planet are one of the formation mechanisms of gaps and rings found in recent ALMA observations. To quantify the gap properties measured in not only surface density but also rotational velocity profiles, we run two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks …

Observations of Type Ia Supernova 2014J for Nearly 900 Days and Constraints on Its Progenitor System
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab2b49 Bibcode: 2019ApJ...882...30L

Wang, Lifan; Elias-Rosa, Nancy; Benetti, Stefano +18 more

We present extensive ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of the highly reddened, very nearby SN Ia 2014J in M82, covering the phases from 9 days before to about 900 days after the B-band maximum. SN 2014J is similar to other normal SNe Ia near the maximum light, but it shows flux excess in the B band in the early nebular phase…

Swift-XRT Follow-up of Gravitational-wave Triggers in the Second Advanced LIGO/Virgo Observing Run
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/ab4ea2 Bibcode: 2019ApJS..245...15K

Troja, E.; Cenko, S. B.; Sakamoto, T. +37 more

The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory carried out prompt searches for gravitational-wave (GW) events detected by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) during the second observing run (“O2”). Swift performed extensive tiling of eight LVC triggers, two of which had very low false-alarm rates (GW170814 and the epochal GW170817), indicating a high confidenc…

Herschel map of Saturn's stratospheric water, delivered by the plumes of Enceladus
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201935954 Bibcode: 2019A&A...630A..87C

Fletcher, L. N.; Hartogh, P.; Lellouch, E. +13 more

Context. The origin of water in the stratospheres of giant planets has been an outstanding question ever since its first detection by the Infrared Space Observatory some 20 years ago. Water can originate from interplanetary dust particles, icy rings and satellites, and large comet impacts. Analyses of Herschel Space Observatory observations have p…

Bow shocks, bow waves, and dust waves - III. Diagnostics
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz2283 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.489.2142H

Henney, William J.; Arthur, S. J.

Stellar bow shocks, bow waves, and dust waves all result from the action of a star's wind and radiation pressure on a stream of dusty plasma that flows past it. The dust in these bows emits prominently at mid-infrared wavelengths in the range 8 to 60 µm. We propose a novel diagnostic method, the τ-η diagram, for analysing these bows, which i…

The Inner Disk and Accretion Flow of the Close Binary DQ Tau
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ab1756 Bibcode: 2019ApJ...877...29M

Gutermuth, Robert; Muzerolle, James; Flaherty, Kevin +2 more

We present multiepoch optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry and spectroscopy of the spectroscopic binary T Tauri star DQ Tau. The photometric monitoring, obtained using SMARTS ANDICAM, recovers the previously seen correlation between optical flux and the 15.8 day binary orbital period, with blue flux peaks occurring close to most observed per…

Single-lined Spectroscopic Binary Star Candidates from a Combination of the RAVE and Gaia DR2 Surveys
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ab3cc1 Bibcode: 2019AJ....158..155B

Grebel, Eva K.; Steinmetz, Matthias; Bland-Hawthorn, Joss +11 more

The combination of the final version of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) spectroscopic survey data release 6 with radial velocities (RVs) and astrometry from Gaia DR2 allows us to identify and create a catalog of single-lined binary star candidates (SB1), their inferred orbital parameters, and to inspect possible double-lined binary stars (SB…

Using Gaia DR2 to detect extratidal structures around the Galactic globular cluster NGC 362
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz962 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.486.1667C

Carballo-Bello, Julio A.

We explore the possibility of searching for extratidal features around the Galactic globular cluster NGC 362 using the Gaia DR2 (second data release) together with a modified version of a classical statistical decontamination algorithm. Our results suggest that an important stellar component is associated with this globular cluster, which is perfe…

Progenitors and explosion properties of supernova remnants hosting central compact objects: I. RCW 103 associated with the peculiar source 1E 161348-5055
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz2437 Bibcode: 2019MNRAS.489.4444B

Fryer, C. L.; Safi-Harb, S.; Braun, C.

We present a Chandra and XMM-Newton imaging and spectroscopic study of the supernova remnant (SNR) RCW 103 (G332.4-00.4) containing the central compact object 1E 161348-5055. The high-resolution Chandra X-ray images reveal enhanced emission in the south-eastern and north-western regions. Equivalent width line images of Fe L, Mg, Si, and S using XM…

The OSIRIS Lens-amplified Survey (OLAS). I. Dynamical Effects of Stellar Feedback in Low-mass Galaxies at z ∼ 2

Treu, Tommaso; Bradač, Maruša; Wang, Xin +6 more

We introduce the OSIRIS Lens-Amplified Survey (OLAS), a kinematic survey of gravitationally lensed galaxies at cosmic noon taken with Keck adaptive optics. In this paper, we present spatially resolved spectroscopy and nebular emission kinematic maps for 17 star-forming galaxies with stellar masses 8 < log(M */M ) < 9.8…
