How the spectral energy distribution and galaxy morphology constrain each other, with application to morphological selection using galaxy colours
Kaviraj, Sugata; Uzeirbegovic, Emir; Martin, Garreth
We introduce an empirical methodology to study how the spectral energy distribution (SED) and galaxy morphology constrain each other and implement this on ~8000 galaxies from the HST CANDELS survey in the GOODS-South field. We show that the SED does constrain morphology and present a method that quantifies the strength of the link between these tw…
An astrometric and photometric study of the young open cluster NGC 2168 and its possible member [NBN2015]77
Hendy, Y. H. M.; Shokry, A.; Saad, S. M. +2 more
We present an astrometric and photometric study of the young open star cluster NGC 2168 and its proposed member [NBN2015]77. NGC 2168 was investigated by combining data from both the Gaia-ESO DR2 and the 2MASS databases. The photometric analysis and light curve modeling of the W UMa star [NBN2015] 77 in V and R bands was performed using the Wilson…
The Effect of Age on the Grouping of Open Clusters: II—Are There Old Binary Clusters?
Casado, Juan
In the present study, we continue testing the Primordial Group hypothesis (Casado 2022), which postulates that only sufficiently young open clusters can be binary or multiple, and old clusters are essentially single. To this end, we revisit all the remaining binary cluster candidates in the Galaxy having at least one cluster older than 100 Myr thr…

Discovery of an optical cocoon tail behind the runaway HD 185806
Meyer, D. M. -A.; Boumis, P.; Gvaramadze, V. V. +6 more
Studies on the circumstellar structures around evolved stars provide vital information on the evolution of the parent star and the properties of the local interstellar medium. In this work, we present the discovery and characterization of an optical cocoon tail behind the star HD 185806. The cocoon apex emission is puzzling, as it is detected in t…
Structural Architecture and Deformation History of Tempe Terra, Mars
Thomas, M.; Orlov, C. J.; Bramham, E. K. +3 more
The structurally complex region of Tempe Terra, located in the northeast of the Tharsis Rise on Mars, preserves deformation related to the growth of Tharsis and lies along the trendline formed by the Tharsis Montes volcanoes. We characterize the spatiotemporal tectonic evolution of Tempe Terra based on comprehensive structural mapping. From this m…
Measuring the Nonaxially Symmetric Surface Temperature Distribution of the Central Compact Object in Puppis A
Gotthelf, E. V.; Halpern, J. P.; Perna, R. +1 more
The surface temperature distributions of central compact objects (CCOs) are powerful probes of their crustal magnetic field strengths and geometries. Here we model the surface temperature distribution of RX J0822-4300, the CCO in the Puppis A supernova remnant, using 471 ks of XMM-Newton data. We compute the energy-dependent pulse profiles in 16 e…
First photometric investigation of two short-period eclipsing binaries ASAS J105115-6032.1 and GDS J1056047-604149
Sarotsakulchai, Thawicharat; Soonthornthum, Boonrucksar; Liu, Nian-Ping +1 more
ASAS J105115-6032.1 (hereafter ASAS J1051) and GDS J1056047-604149 (hereafter GDS J1056) are two short-period contact binaries close to each other in the Antarctica sky area. By analyzing the light curves from AST3-1, the first photometric solutions are presented using the Wilson-Devinney (W-D) method. It is detected that both systems are W-type c…
Hot white dwarf candidates from the IGAPS-GALEX cross-match
Raddi, R.; Sabin, L.; Gómez-Muñoz, M. A. +1 more
White dwarf (WD) stars are often associated with the central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) on their way to the cooling track. A large number of WD star candidates have been identified; thanks to optical large-scale surveys such as Gaia DR2 and EDR3. However, hot-WD/CSPNe stars are quite elusive in optical bands due to their high temperatures …
Abundances of disk and bulge giants from high-resolution optical spectra. V. Molybdenum: The p-process element
Ryde, N.; Rich, R. M.; Jönsson, H. +2 more
Aims: In this work, we aim to make a differential comparison of the neutron-capture and p-process element molybdenum (Mo) in the stellar populations in the local disk(s) and the bulge, focusing on minimising possible systematic effects in the analysis.
Methods: The stellar sample consists of 45 bulge and 291 local disk K-giants observed …
