Predicting Flares and Solar Energetic Particle Events: The FORSPEF Tool
DOI: 10.1007/s11207-017-1163-7 Bibcode: 2017SoPh..292..134A

Papaioannou, A.; Anastasiadis, A.; Kouloumvakos, A. +4 more

A novel integrated prediction system for solar flares (SFs) and solar energetic particle (SEP) events is presented here. The tool called forecasting solar particle events and flares (FORSPEF) provides forecasts of solar eruptive events, such as SFs with a projection to occurrence and velocity of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and the likelihood of…

The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: The 40-month Catalog and the Properties of the Distant High-energy X-Ray Source Population
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/836/1/99 Bibcode: 2017ApJ...836...99L

Harrison, F. A.; Stern, D.; Zhang, W. W. +35 more

We present the first full catalog and science results for the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) serendipitous survey. The catalog incorporates data taken during the first 40 months of NuSTAR operation, which provide ≈20 Ms of effective exposure time over 331 fields, with an areal coverage of 13 deg2, and 497 sources detecte…

Updated 34-band Photometry for the Sings/KINGFISH Samples of Nearby Galaxies
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aa6032 Bibcode: 2017ApJ...837...90D

Helou, G.; Boquien, M.; Roussel, H. +22 more

We present an update to the ultraviolet-to-radio database of global broadband photometry for the 79 nearby galaxies that comprise the union of the KINGFISH (Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel) and SINGS (Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey) samples. The 34-band data set presented here includes contributions fr…

Interpreting the star formation efficiency of nearby molecular clouds with ionizing radiation
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx1765 Bibcode: 2017MNRAS.471.4844G

Hennebelle, Patrick; Soler, Juan D.; Geen, Sam

We investigate the origin of observed local star formation relations using radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations with self-consistent star formation and ionizing radiation. We compare these clouds to the density distributions of local star-forming clouds and find that the most diffuse simulated clouds match the observed clouds relatively well.…

Close entrainment of massive molecular gas flows by radio bubbles in the central galaxy of Abell 1795
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx2255 Bibcode: 2017MNRAS.472.4024R

Fabian, A. C.; Combes, F.; McDonald, M. +8 more

We present new ALMA observations tracing the morphology and velocity structure of the molecular gas in the central galaxy of the cluster Abell 1795. The molecular gas lies in two filaments that extend 5-7 kpc to the N and S from the nucleus and project exclusively around the outer edges of two inner radio bubbles. Radio jets launched by the centra…

The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: single-probe measurements from DR12 galaxy clustering - towards an accurate model
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx1641 Bibcode: 2017MNRAS.471.2370C

Rubiño-Martín, J. A.; Brownstein, Joel R.; Ho, Shirley +28 more

We analyse the broad-range shape of the monopole and quadrupole correlation functions of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12 (DR12) CMASS and LOWZ galaxy sample to obtain constraints on the Hubble expansion rate H(z), the angular-diameter distance DA(z), the normalized growth rate f(z)σ8(z) and the phy…

The X-ray properties of Be/X-ray pulsars in quiescence

Tsygankov, Sergey S.; Lutovinov, Alexander A.; Poutanen, Juri +2 more

Observations of accreting neutron stars (NSs) with strong magnetic fields can be used not only for studying the accretion flow interaction with the NS magnetospheres, but also for understanding the physical processes inside NSs and for estimating their fundamental parameters. Of particular interest are (I) the interaction of a rotating NS (magneto…

Kinematic Structure of Molecular Gas around High-mass YSO, Papillon Nebula, in N159 East in the Large Magellanic Cloud: A New Perspective with ALMA
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/835/1/108 Bibcode: 2017ApJ...835..108S

Lebouteiller, Vianney; Inoue, Tsuyoshi; Tokuda, Kazuki +20 more

We present the ALMA Band 3 and Band 6 results of 12CO(2-1), 13CO(2-1), H30α recombination line, free-free emission around 98 GHz, and the dust thermal emission around 230 GHz toward the N159 East Giant Molecular Cloud (N159E) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). LMC is the nearest active high-mass star-forming face-on galaxy …

Evidence for Atmospheric Cold-trap Processes in the Noninverted Emission Spectrum of Kepler-13Ab Using HST/WFC3
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/aa899b Bibcode: 2017AJ....154..158B

We observed two eclipses of the Kepler-13A planetary system, on UT 2014 April 28 and UT 2014 October 13, in the near-infrared using Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. By using the nearby binary stars Kepler-13BC as a reference, we were able to create a differential light curve for Kepler-13A that had little of the systematics typic…

Dust and gas in star-forming galaxies at z 3. Extending galaxy uniformity to 11.5 billion years
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201731037 Bibcode: 2017A&A...603A..93M

Daddi, E.; Elbaz, D.; Dickinson, M. +10 more

We present millimetre dust emission measurements of two Lyman-break galaxies at z 3 and construct for the first time fully sampled infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs), from mid-IR to the Rayleigh-Jeans tail, of individually detected, unlensed, UV-selected, main sequence (MS) galaxies at z = 3. The SED modelling of the two sources confirm…
