TOI-2015 b: A Warm Neptune with Transit Timing Variations Orbiting an Active Mid-type M Dwarf
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad55ea Bibcode: 2024AJ....168...93J

Kobulnicky, Henry A.; Hawley, Suzanne L.; Cochran, William D. +29 more

We report the discovery of a close-in (P orb = 3.349 days) warm Neptune with clear transit timing variations (TTVs) orbiting the nearby (d = 47.3 pc) active M4 star, TOI-2015. We characterize the planet's properties using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry, precise near-infrared radial velocities (RVs) with the Habi…

Hemispheric Distribution of Halo Coronal Mass Ejection Source Locations
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad18af Bibcode: 2024ApJ...962..172Z

Mei, Ying; Wang, Feng; Deng, Hui +2 more

The hemispheric asymmetry of solar activity is one of the essential physical consequences of the interior dynamo process. However, the hemispheric distribution of halo coronal mass ejection (HCME) source locations has not been investigated in detail. Based on the HCME catalog identified from the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Experiment…

JWST-TST High Contrast: Spectroscopic Characterization of the Benchmark Brown Dwarf HD 19467 B with the NIRSpec Integral Field Spectrograph
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad6cd3 Bibcode: 2024AJ....168..187H

van der Marel, Roeland P.; Perrin, Marshall D.; Pueyo, Laurent +14 more

We present the atmospheric characterization of the substellar companion HD 19467 B as part of the pioneering James Webb Space Telescope Guaranteed Time Observer program to obtain moderate resolution spectra (R ∼ 2700, 3–5 µm) of a high-contrast companion with the NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU). HD 19467 B is an old, ∼9 Gyr, companion to a…

DEATHSTAR: a system for confirming planets and identifying false-positive signals in TESS data using ground-based time-domain surveys
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3857 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.528.5160R

Vanderburg, Andrew; Collins, Karen A.; Burdge, Kevin +3 more

We present a technique for verifying or refuting exoplanet candidates from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission by searching for nearby eclipsing binary stars using higher resolution archival images from ground-based telescopes. Our new system is called Detecting and Evaluating A Transit: finding its Hidden Source in Time-domai…

Surface Flux Transport Modeling Using Physics-informed Neural Networks
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad7d91 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...975..258A

Cheung, Mark C. M.; Athalathil, Jithu J.; Vaidya, Bhargav +2 more

Studying the magnetic field properties on the solar surface is crucial for understanding the solar and heliospheric activities, which in turn shape space weather in the solar system. Surface flux transport (SFT) modeling helps us to simulate and analyze the transport and evolution of magnetic flux on the solar surface, providing valuable insights …

Two waves of massive stars running away from the young cluster R136
DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08013-8 Bibcode: 2024Natur.634..809S

Sana, Hugues; Mahy, Laurent; Kaper, Lex +10 more

Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters1. Their radiation fields, stellar winds and supernovae strongly impact their local environment. In the first few million years of a cluster's life, massive stars are dynamically ejected and run away from the cluster at high speed2. However, the productio…

Deep Chandra Observations of A2495: A Possible Sloshing-regulated Feedback Cycle in a Triple-offset Galaxy Cluster
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad1755 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963....8R

Gastaldello, F.; Gaspari, M.; O'Sullivan, E. +6 more

We present the analysis of new, deep Chandra observations (130 ks) of the galaxy cluster A2495. This object is known for the presence of a triple offset between the peaks of the intracluster medium (ICM), the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), and the warm gas glowing in Hα line. The new Chandra data confirm that the X-ray emission peak is located at…

Connecting Solar Wind Velocity Spikes Measured by Solar Orbiter and Coronal Brightenings Observed by SDO
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad4eda Bibcode: 2024ApJ...968L..28H

Sorriso-Valvo, Luca; Verscharen, Daniel; D'Amicis, Raffaella +28 more

The Parker Solar Probe's discovery that magnetic switchbacks and velocity spikes in the young solar wind are abundant has prompted intensive research into their origin(s) and formation mechanism(s) in the solar atmosphere. Recent studies, based on in situ measurements and numerical simulations, argue that velocity spikes are produced through inter…

An HST Study of the Substellar Population of NGC 2024
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad0785 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...960...49R

Da Rio, Nicola; Gennaro, Mario; Sabbi, Elena +6 more

We performed an HST/WFC3-IR imaging survey of the young stellar cluster NGC 2024 in three filters probing the 1.4 µm H2O absorption feature, characteristic of the population of low-mass and substellar-mass objects down to a few Jupiter masses. We detect 812 point sources, 550 of them in all three filters with signal-to-noise ratio…

Stellar occultations by trans-Neptunian objects
DOI: 10.1007/s00159-024-00156-x Bibcode: 2024A&ARv..32....6S

Sicardy, Bruno; Buie, Marc W.; Braga-Ribas, Felipe +2 more

Stellar occultations provide a powerful tool to explore objects of the outer solar system. The Gaia mission now provides milli-arcsec accuracy on the predictions of these events and makes possible observations that were previously unthinkable. Occultations return kilometric accuracies on the three-dimensional shape of bodies irrespective of their …
