DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad2350 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...964...84S

Kriek, Mariska; Armus, Lee; Wright, Shelley A. +6 more

We present results from the Quasar hosts Unveiled by high Angular Resolution Techniques survey studying the circumgalactic medium (CGM) by observing rest-frame UV emission lines Lyα, C IV, and He II around two radio-loud quasars, 3C 9 (z = 2.02) and 4C 05.84 (z = 2.32), using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager. We detect large-scale Lyα nebulae around bot…

The variation in the response of solar full-disc magnetographs
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450102 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A..48Y

Solanki, S. K.; Yeo, K. L.; Krivova, N. A.

Context. The utility of full solar disc magnetograms as a long-term record of the photospheric magnetic field requires an understanding of how stable these observations are with time and the systematic differences between the various instruments.
Aims: We compared magnetograms from the KPVT/SPM, SoHO/MDI, SOLIS/VSM, and SDO/HMI with the aim o…

KMT-2021-BLG-2609Lb and KMT-2022-BLG-0303Lb: Microlensing planets identified through signals produced by major-image perturbations
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450873 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A.209H

Han, Cheongho; Lee, Chung-Uk; Zang, Weicheng +18 more

Aims. We investigate microlensing data collected by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) survey during the 2021 and 2022 seasons to identify planetary lensing events displaying a consistent anomalous pattern. Our investigation reveals that the light curves of two lensing events, KMT-2021-BLG-2609 and KMT-2022-BLG-0303, exhibit a simil…

A photometric and spectroscopic study of eight semi-detached eclipsing binaries
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449699 Bibcode: 2024A&A...692A.168L

Wang, Liang; Li, Kai; Yi, Tuan +3 more

Context. Semi-detached eclipsing binaries offer an exceptional opportunity to validate the evolutionary models of interacting binaries. This entails determining the absolute parameters and evaluating the evolutionary status of the binary components through simultaneous analysis of both light and radial velocity curves. The Transiting Exoplanet Sur…

Subkiloparsec Scaling Relations between Hot Gas, Dense Gas, and Star Formation Rate in Five Nearby Star-forming Galaxies
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad4a69 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...967L..25Z

Gao, Yu; Tan, Qing-Hua; Wang, Junfeng +3 more

Based on the newly acquired dense gas observations from the JCMT MALATANG survey and X-ray data from Chandra, we explore the correlation between hot gas and HCN J = 4 → 3 and HCO+ J = 4 → 3 emission for the first time at subkiloparsec scale of five nearby star-forming galaxies, namely M82, M83, IC 342, NGC 253, and NGC 6946. We find tha…

On stellar migration from Andromeda to the Milky Way
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae712 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.529.3816G

Schwarz, Dominik J.; Fairbairn, Malcolm; Gülzow, Lukas

Recent Gaia observations suggest that some hypervelocity stars (HVSs) might originate from outside the Galaxy. We ask whether these HVSs could come from as far as Andromeda. Therefore, we simulate HVSs originating in Andromeda with initial conditions based on attributes of high-velocity stars measured in the Milky Way and a simple model for the gr…

On the Global Features of the 10-60-Min ULF Waves in Jovian Magnetosphere: Juno Observations
DOI: 10.1029/2023JE008279 Bibcode: 2024JGRE..12908279S

Bonfond, B.; Xu, Y.; Fu, S. Y. +8 more

In the Jovian magnetosphere, quasi-periodic phenomena, with quasi-periods on the order of 10-60 min, are frequently identified using different data sets. These pulsations are a branch of ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves, which are believed to play a crucial role in driving the energy circulation within Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this study, we uti…

The unexpected role of heliospheric boundaries in facilitating interstellar dust penetration at 1-5 AU
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450257 Bibcode: 2024A&A...687L...4G

Izmodenov, V. V.; Godenko, E. A.


Aims: Interstellar dust (ISD) particles penetrate the heliosphere because of the relative motion of the local interstellar cloud and the Sun. The penetrated particles pass through the heliospheric interface, that is, the region in which solar wind and interstellar plasma interact. As a result, the ISD flow is modified after the passage throug…

DULAG: A DUal and Lensed AGN candidate catalog with the Gaia multipeak method
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202452291 Bibcode: 2024A&A...692A.154W

Liao, S.; Mannucci, F.; Qi, Z. +2 more

Context. A series of studies have demonstrated that the Gaia multipeak (GMP) method is a very efficient technique for selecting active galactic nucleus (AGN) pair candidates. The number of candidates is determined by the size of the input AGN catalog, and is usually limited to spectroscopically confirmed objects. Aims. The objective of this work i…

Long-term orbital evolution of dimorphos boulders and implications on the origin of meteorites
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae464 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.528.6660F

Carbognani, A.; Fenucci, M.

By using recent observations of the Dydimos-Dimorphos system from the Hubble Space Telescope, 37 boulders with a size of 4 to 7 m ejected from the system during the impact with the DART spacecraft were identified. In this work, we studied the orbital evolution of a swarm of boulders with a similar size to that of the detected ones. By using recent…
