The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey. I. Survey description, data reduction, and source detection
Bacon, Roland; Bouché, Nicolas; Inami, Hanae +24 more
We present the MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Survey, a mosaic of nine MUSE fields covering 90% of the entire HUDF region with a 10-h deep exposure time, plus a deeper 31-h exposure in a single 1.15 arcmin2 field. The improved observing strategy and advanced data reduction results in datacubes with sub-arcsecond spatial resolution (0.̋65 at 7000…
Coronal mass ejections and their sheath regions in interplanetary space
Pulkkinen, Tuija I.; Koskinen, Hannu E. J.; Kilpua, Emilia
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are large-scale heliospheric transients that originate from the Sun. When an ICME is sufficiently faster than the preceding solar wind, a shock wave develops ahead of the ICME. The turbulent region between the shock and the ICME is called the sheath region. ICMEs and their sheaths and shocks are all in…
Revised Stellar Properties of Kepler Targets for the Q1-17 (DR25) Transit Detection Run
Batalha, Natalie M.; Bieryla, Allyson; Latham, David W. +14 more
The determination of exoplanet properties and occurrence rates using Kepler data critically depends on our knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as temperature, radius, and mass) of the observed stars. We present revised stellar properties for 197,096 Kepler targets observed between Quarters 1-17 (Q1-17), which were used for the final tran…
MICROSCOPE Mission: First Results of a Space Test of the Equivalence Principle
Chhun, Ratana; Métris, Gilles; Rodrigues, Manuel +40 more
According to the weak equivalence principle, all bodies should fall at the same rate in a gravitational field. The MICROSCOPE satellite, launched in April 2016, aims to test its validity at the 10-15 precision level, by measuring the force required to maintain two test masses (of titanium and platinum alloys) exactly in the same orbit. …
Dust in the Reionization Era: ALMA Observations of a z = 8.38 Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy
Pérez-Fournon, I.; Laporte, N.; Bauer, F. E. +6 more
We report on the detailed analysis of a gravitationally lensed Y-band dropout, A2744_YD4, selected from deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging in the Frontier Field cluster Abell 2744. Band 7 observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) indicate the proximate detection of a significant 1 mm continuum flux suggesting the p…
Global constraints on absolute neutrino masses and their ordering
Di Valentino, Eleonora; Melchiorri, Alessandro; Capozzi, Francesco +3 more
Within the standard three-neutrino framework, the absolute neutrino masses and their ordering (either normal, NO, or inverted, IO) are currently unknown. However, the combination of current data coming from oscillation experiments, neutrinoless double beta (0 ν β β ) decay searches, and cosmological surveys, can provide interesting constraints for…
Standing on the Shoulders of Dwarfs: the Kepler Asteroseismic LEGACY Sample. II.Radii, Masses, and Ages
Chaplin, William J.; Davies, Guy R.; Latham, David W. +21 more
We use asteroseismic data from the Kepler satellite to determine fundamental stellar properties of the 66 main-sequence targets observed for at least one full year by the mission. We distributed tens of individual oscillation frequencies extracted from the time series of each star among seven modeling teams who applied different methods to determi…
The z ∼ 6 Luminosity Function Fainter than -15 mag from the Hubble Frontier Fields: The Impact of Magnification Uncertainties
Oesch, P. A.; Bouwens, R. J.; Illingworth, G. D. +2 more
We use the largest sample of z∼ 6 galaxies to date from the first four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters to set constraints on the shape of the z∼ 6 luminosity functions (LFs) to fainter than {M}{UV,{AB}}=-14 mag. We quantify, for the first time, the impact of magnification uncertainties on LF results and thus provide more realistic const…
Structural and Star-forming Relations since z ∼ 3: Connecting Compact Star-forming and Quiescent Galaxies
Barro, Guillermo; Pérez-González, Pablo G.; Kocevski, Dale D. +13 more
We study the evolution of the scaling relations that compare the effective density ({{{Σ }}}{{e}},r< {r}{{e}}) and core density ({{{Σ }}}1,r< 1 kpc) to the stellar masses of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and quiescent galaxies. These relations have been fully in place since z∼ 3 and have exhibited almost const…
Three-dimensional mapping of the local interstellar medium with composite data
Monreal-Ibero, A.; Elyajouri, M.; Lallement, R. +2 more
Context. Three-dimensional maps of the Galactic interstellar medium are general astrophysical tools. Reddening maps may be based on the inversion of color excess measurements for individual target stars or on statistical methods using stellar surveys. Three-dimensional maps based on diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have also been produced. All me…
