Derivation of Instrument Requirements for Polarimetry Using Mg, Fe, and Mn Lines between 250 and 290 nm
Judge, P. G.; Sainz Dalda, A.; de Wijn, A. G. +1 more
Judge et al. recently argued that a region of the solar spectrum in the near-UV between about 250 and 290 nm is optimal for studying magnetism in the solar chromosphere, due to an abundance of Mg II, Fe II, and Fe I lines that sample various heights in the solar atmosphere. In this paper, we derive requirements for spectropolarimetric instruments …
The power of XP Gaia spectrophotometry and Self-Organizing Maps to analyze the evolutionary state and physical properties of Milky Way stars
Garabato, D.; Dafonte, C.; Manteiga, M. +1 more
The Gaia space telescope is able to gather a vast amount of data from each of the sources it explores. Among them, are the Blue and Red Photometer (BP/RP) spectra, also known as XP spectra. Most of those sources (and their physical properties) are easy to identify, but for some others, it is necessary to perform a deeper study on them. More precis…
Spectral evolution and calcium white dwarfs in J-PLUS
Gänsicke, B. T.; Carrasco, J. M.; Tremblay, P. -E. +8 more
We complement the Gaia-based catalogue of white dwarfs with the optical photometry from the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) DR2, covering $2 176$ deg$^2$ with 12 passbands ($ugriz$ + 7 medium bands). We define a common sample of $5 926$ white dwarfs with $r < 19.5$ mag and derive their effective temperature ($T_{eff})$, su…
CAHA/PPAK Integral-field Spectroscopic Observations of M81. II. Testing Photoionization Models in a Spatially Resolved LINER
Li, Zhiyuan; García-Benito, Rubén; Li, Zongnan +1 more
The origin of the low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) prevalent in local galaxies and its relationship with supermassive black holes have been debated for decades. We perform a comprehensive evaluation of traditional photoionization models against the circumnuclear ionized gas in M81, for which recent CAHA/PPAK integral-field spect…
BV Photometric Observations of the Dwarf Novae DX And and AR And
Zamanov, R. K.; Dankova, L.; Kostov, A.
We report photometric observations of the intranight variability of the dwarf novae DX And and AR And in two bands (B and V) on a few nights in late October 2022. The observations are performed with the 50/70 cm Schmidt telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen. The results indicate that both stars exhibit intranight variability wi…
Characterization of intermediate mass young stars from spectral energy distributions and Gaia EDR3
Guzmán-Díaz, J.
Herbig Ae/Be objects (HAeBes) are young, intermediate-mass stars surrounded by protoplanetary disks. From the point of view of star and planet formation, these objects have crucial characteristics. First, their stellar parameters, such as mass or temperature, are between those belonging to the low-mass and high-mass regimes. Second, the presence o…
The Dependence of Iron-rich Metal-poor Star Occurrence on Galactic Environment Supports an Origin in Thermonuclear Supernova Nucleosynthesis
Reggiani, Henrique; Schlaufman, Kevin C.; Reeves, Zachary
It has been suggested that a class of chemically peculiar metal-poor stars called iron-rich metal-poor (IRMP) stars formed from molecular cores with metal contents dominated by thermonuclear supernova nucleosynthesis. If this interpretation is accurate, then IRMP stars should be more common in environments where thermonuclear supernovae were impor…
VarIabiLity seLection of AstrophysIcal sources iN PTF (VILLAIN). I. Structure function fits to 71 million objects
Hjorth, J.; Bruun, S. H.; Agnello, A.
Context. Light-curve variability is well-suited to characterising objects in surveys with high cadence and a long baseline. This is especially relevant in view of the large datasets to be produced by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).
Aims: We aim to determine variability parameters for objects in the Paloma…
X-ray Properties of the Luminous Quasar PG 1634+706 at z=1.337 from SRG and XMM-Newton Data
Gilfanov, M. R.; Sunyaev, R. A.; Sazonov, S. Yu. +2 more
In the fall of 2019, during the in-flight calibration phase of the SRG observatory, the onboard eROSITA and Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescopes carried out a series of observations of PG 1634+706 — one of the most luminous (an X-ray luminosity ${∼}10^{46}$ erg s${}^{-1}$) quasars in the Universe at $z<2$. Approximately at the same dates this qu…

Çakmak, Hikmet
Samanyolu Galaksi'sinin genel dinamiksel özellikleri, galaksinin I. ve III. çeyreğinde metal bolluğu ve radyal hızları bilinen birkaç örnek açık yıldız kümesinin kinematik ve dinamik parametreleri yardımıyla ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla I. çeyrekte Berkeley 45, NGC 6802 ve Ruprecht 143, III. çeyrekte NGC 2194, NGC 2266 ve NGC 2304 açı…
