Multi-viewpoint Coronal Mass Ejection Catalog Based on STEREO COR2 Observations
Vourlidas, Angelos; Stenborg, Guillermo; Balmaceda, Laura A. +1 more
We present the first multi-viewpoint coronal mass ejection (CME) catalog. The events are identified visually in simultaneous total brightness observations from the twin SECCHI/COR2 coronagraphs on board the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory mission. The Multi-View CME Catalog differs from past catalogs in three key aspects: (1) all events be…
Interplanetary coronal mass ejection observed at STEREO-A, Mars, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, Saturn, and New Horizons en route to Pluto: Comparison of its Forbush decreases at 1.4, 3.1, and 9.9 AU
Barabash, S.; Krupp, N.; Roussos, E. +48 more
We discuss observations of the journey throughout the Solar System of a large interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that was ejected at the Sun on 14 October 2014. The ICME hit Mars on 17 October, as observed by the Mars Express, Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Mission (MAVEN), Mars Odyssey, and Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) missions,…
North-South Asymmetries in Earth's Magnetic Field. Effects on High-Latitude Geospace
Reistad, J. P.; Laundal, K. M.; Milan, S. E. +5 more
The solar-wind magnetosphere interaction primarily occurs at altitudes where the dipole component of Earth's magnetic field is dominating. The disturbances that are created in this interaction propagate along magnetic field lines and interact with the ionosphere-thermosphere system. At ionospheric altitudes, the Earth's field deviates significantl…
Angular momentum evolution of galaxies over the past 10 Gyr: a MUSE and KMOS dynamical survey of 400 star-forming galaxies from z = 0.3 to 1.7
Smail, Ian; Alexander, D. M.; Swinbank, A. M. +23 more
We present a MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) and KMOS (K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph) dynamical study 405 star-forming galaxies at redshift z = 0.28-1.65 (median redshift \bar{z} = 0.84). Our sample is representative of the star-forming 'main sequence', with star formation rates of SFR = 0.1-30 M⊙ yr-1 and stellar…
The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: the nature of bright submm galaxies from 2 deg2 of 850-µm imaging
Bowler, R. A. A.; McLure, R. J.; Dunlop, J. S. +15 more
We present physical properties [redshifts (z), star-formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses ({M_star})] of bright (S850 ≥ 4 mJy) submm galaxies in the ≃2 deg2 COSMOS and UDS fields selected with SCUBA-2/JCMT. We complete the galaxy identification process for all (≃2000) S/N ≥ 3.5 850-µm sources, but focus our scientif…
A massive, dead disk galaxy in the early Universe
Richard, Johan; Gallazzi, Anna; Zibetti, Stefano +10 more
At redshift z = 2, when the Universe was just three billion years old, half of the most massive galaxies were extremely compact and had already exhausted their fuel for star formation. It is believed that they were formed in intense nuclear starbursts and that they ultimately grew into the most massive local elliptical galaxies seen today, through…
The Atmospheric Response to High Nonthermal Electron Beam Fluxes in Solar Flares. I. Modeling the Brightest NUV Footpoints in the X1 Solar Flare of 2014 March 29
Kowalski, Adam F.; Daw, Adrian; Carlsson, Mats +2 more
The 2014 March 29 X1 solar flare (SOL20140329T17:48) produced bright continuum emission in the far- and near-ultraviolet (NUV) and highly asymmetric chromospheric emission lines, providing long-sought constraints on the heating mechanisms of the lower atmosphere in solar flares. We analyze the continuum and emission line data from the Interface Re…
Resolving the fragmentation of high line-mass filaments with ALMA: the integral shaped filament in Orion A
Henning, T.; Megeath, S. T.; Beuther, H. +5 more
We study the fragmentation of the nearest high line-mass filament, the integral shaped filament (ISF, line-mass 400 M⊙ pc-1) in the Orion A molecular cloud. We have observed a 1.6 pc long section of the ISF with the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 3 mm continuum emission, at a resolution of 3″ (1200 AU)…
The XMM cluster outskirts project (X‑ COP )
Pointecouteau, E.; Paltani, S.; Molendi, S. +3 more
Galaxy clusters are thought to grow hierarchically through the continuous merging and accretion of smaller structures across cosmic time. In the local Universe, these phenomena are still active in the outer regions of massive clusters ($R>R_{500}$), where the matter distribution is expected to become clumpy and asymmetric because of the presenc…
Chasing Shadows: Rotation of the Azimuthal Asymmetry in the TW Hya Disk
Weinberger, Alycia J.; Debes, John H.; Roberge, Aki +8 more
We have obtained new images of the protoplanetary disk orbiting TW Hya in visible, total intensity light with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), using the newly commissioned BAR5 occulter. These HST/STIS observations achieved an inner working angle of ∼0.″2, or 11.7 au, probing the system at angula…
