The orbits of close-in exoplanets provide clues to their formation and evolutionary history. Many close-in exoplanets likely formed far out in their protoplanetary disks and migrated to their current orbits, perhaps via high-eccentricity migration (HEM), a process that can also excite obliquities. A handful of known exoplanets are perhaps caught i…

Probing the Relationship Between Early Star Formation and CO in the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy WLM with JWST
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad3f18 Bibcode: 2024AJ....167..274A

Windhorst, Rogier A.; Elmegreen, Bruce G.; Rubio, Monica +5 more

Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte (WLM) is a Local Group dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy with a metallicity 13% of solar. At 1 Mpc, the relative isolation of WLM provides a unique opportunity to investigate the internal mechanisms of star formation at low metallicities. The earliest stages of star formation in larger spirals occur in embedded clusters within mo…

Nuclear spin ratios of deuterated ammonia in prestellar cores. LAsMA observations of H-MM1 and Oph D
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346578 Bibcode: 2024A&A...682A...8H

Belloche, A.; Wyrowski, F.; Caselli, P. +6 more

Context. Molecules containing two or more hydrogen or deuterium atoms have different nuclear spin states which behave as separate chemical species. The relative abundances of these species can give clues to their origin. Formation on grains is believed to yield statistical spin ratios whereas gas-phase reactions are predicted to result in clear de…

Zero-polarization candidate regions for the calibration of wide-field optical polarimeters
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348099 Bibcode: 2024A&A...684A.132M

Blinov, D.; Panopoulou, G. V.; Readhead, A. C. S. +14 more

Context. The calibration of optical polarimeters relies on the use of stars with negligible polarization (i.e., unpolarized standard stars) for determining the instrumental polarization zero point. For wide-field polarimeters, calibration is often done by imaging the same star over multiple positions in the field of view (FoV), which is a time-con…

Probing the Stellar Populations and Star Formation History of Early-type Galaxies at 0 < z < 1.1 in the Rest-frame Ultraviolet
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad3209 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...966...50A

Desprez, Guillaume; Sawicki, Marcin; Gwyn, Stephen +6 more

We measure the evolution of the rest-frame near-ultraviolet (NUV)‑V colors for early-type galaxies in clusters at 0 < z < 1.1 using data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program, CFHT Large Area U-band Deep Survey, and local Sloan Digital Sky Survey clusters observed with Galaxy Evolution Explorer. Our results show that there is a…

Physical and geometrical properties of an Algol type eclipsing binary with a δ Scuti pulsator: HD 221072
DOI: 10.1016/j.newast.2023.102088 Bibcode: 2024NewA..10502088G

Gürol, B.; Özdemir, S.; Gürsoytrak-Mutlay, S. H. +1 more

In this study, we obtained physical and geometrical parameters of an Algol type eclipsing binary hosting a δ Scuti pulsator. Based on the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observations of HD 221072 system published in Sectors 24, 57, and 58, we obtained the photometric solution of the eclipsing binary. The light curve modelling reveals …

Energetic seed particles in self-consistent particle acceleration modeling at interplanetary shock waves
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451279 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.287N

Vainio, R.; Vuorinen, L.; Trotta, D. +2 more

Aims. The study investigates the relevance of the seed particle population in the results of particle acceleration in interplanetary shock waves, when wave–particle interactions are treated self-consistently. Methods. We employed the SOLar Particle Acceleration in Coronal Shocks (SOLPACS) model, which is a proton acceleration simulation in shocks …

Correcting Projection Effects in CMEs Using GCS-Based Large Statistics of Multi-Viewpoint Observations
DOI: 10.1029/2023SW003805 Bibcode: 2024SpWea..2203805G

Morgan, Huw; Pal, Sanchita; Pant, Vaibhav +4 more

This study addresses the limitations of single-viewpoint observations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) by presenting results from a 3D catalog of 360 CMEs during solar cycle 24, fitted using the Graduated Cylindrical Shell (GCS) model. The data set combines 326 previously analyzed CMEs and 34 newly examined events, categorized by their source regi…

TESS Asteroseismology of β Hydri: A Subgiant with a Born-again Dynamo
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad6dd6 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...974...31M

Stassun, Keivan G.; Metcalfe, Travis S.; van Saders, Jennifer L. +12 more

The solar-type subgiant β Hyi has long been studied as an old analog of the Sun. Although the rotation period has never been measured directly, it was estimated to be near 27 days. As a Southern Hemisphere target, it was not monitored by long-term stellar activity surveys, but archival International Ultraviolet Explorer data revealed a 12 yr activ…

A catalogue of asteroseismically calibrated ages for APOGEE DR17. The predictions of a CatBoost machine learning model based on the [Mg/Ce] chemical clock and other stellar parameters
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348031 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685A..66B

Boulet, Thibault

Context. The formation history and evolution of the Milky Way through cosmological time is a complex field of research requiring the sampling of highly accurate stellar ages for all Galaxy components. Such highly reliable ages are starting to become available thanks to the synergy of asteroseismology, spectroscopy, stellar modelling, and machine l…
