Comparison of Line-of-Sight Magnetograms Taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Michelson Doppler Imager
Liu, Y.; Sun, X.; Hoeksema, J. T. +7 more
We compare line-of-sight magnetograms from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The line-of-sight magnetic signal inferred from the calibrated MDI data is greater than that derived from the HMI data by a …
Global model of lower band and upper band chorus from multiple satellite observations
Meredith, Nigel P.; Horne, Richard B.; Thorne, Richard M. +4 more
Gyroresonant wave particle interactions with whistler mode chorus play a fundamental role in the dynamics of the Earth's radiation belts and inner magnetosphere, affecting both the acceleration and loss of radiation belt electrons. Knowledge of the variability of chorus wave power as a function of both spatial location and geomagnetic activity, re…
GOODS-Herschel: the far-infrared view of star formation in active galactic nucleus host galaxies since z ≈ 3
Magnelli, B.; Lutz, D.; Altieri, B. +28 more
We present a study of the infrared properties of X-ray selected, moderate-luminosity (i.e. LX= 1042-1044 erg s-1) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) up to z ≈ 3, in order to explore the links between star formation in galaxies and accretion on to their central black holes. We use 100 and 160 µ m fluxes …
Fundamental parameters and infrared excesses of Hipparcos stars
Zijlstra, A. A.; Boyer, M. L.; McDonald, I.
We derive the fundamental parameters (temperature and luminosity) of 107 619 Hipparcos stars and place these stars on a true Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. This is achieved by comparing BT-SETTL model atmospheres to spectral energy distributions (SEDs) created from Hipparcos, Tycho, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, DENIS, Two Micron All Sky Survey, MSX, AK…
Rotational velocities of A-type stars. IV. Evolution of rotational velocities
Royer, F.; Zorec, J.
Context. In previous works of this series, we have shown that late B- and early A-type stars have genuine bimodal distributions of rotational velocities and that late A-type stars lack slow rotators. The distributions of the surface angular velocity ratio Ω/Ωcrit (Ωcrit is the critical angular velocity) have peculiar shapes a…
Water in star-forming regions with Herschel (WISH). II. Evolution of 557 GHz 110-101 emission in low-mass protostars
Liseau, R.; van Dishoeck, E. F.; Bergin, E. A. +22 more
Context. Water is a key tracer of dynamics and chemistry in low-mass star-forming regions, but spectrally resolved observations have so far been limited in sensitivity and angular resolution, and only data from the brightest low-mass protostars have been published.
Aims: The first systematic survey of spectrally resolved water emission in 29 …
The M31 Velocity Vector. II. Radial Orbit toward the Milky Way and Implied Local Group Mass
Anderson, Jay; van der Marel, Roeland P.; Beaton, Rachael L. +5 more
We determine the velocity vector of M31 with respect to the Milky Way and use this to constrain the mass of the Local Group, based on Hubble Space Telescope proper-motion measurements of three fields presented in Paper I. We construct N-body models for M31 to correct the measurements for the contributions from stellar motions internal to M31. This…
On the Cluster Physics of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and X-Ray Surveys. I. The Influence of Feedback, Non-thermal Pressure, and Cluster Shapes on Y-M Scaling Relations
Bond, J. R.; Battaglia, N.; Sievers, J. L. +1 more
The utility of large Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) surveys for determining cosmological parameters from cluster abundances is limited by the theoretical uncertainties in the integrated SZ-flux-to-mass relation, Y-M. We explore how non-thermal pressure and the anisotropic shape of the gas distribution of the intracluster medium (ICM) impacts Y-M scaling …
The warm gas atmosphere of the HD 100546 disk seen by Herschel. Evidence of a gas-rich, carbon-poor atmosphere?
van Dishoeck, E. F.; Bruderer, S.; Herczeg, G. J. +1 more
Context. With the Herschel Space Observatory, lines of simple molecules (C+, O, and high-J lines of CO, Jup ≳ 14) have been observed in the atmosphere of protoplanetary disks. When combined with ground-based data on [C i], all principle forms of carbon can be studied. These data allow us to test model predictions for the main…
Temporal variations in the evaporating atmosphere of the exoplanet HD 189733b
Ehrenreich, D.; Lecavelier des Etangs, A.; Bourrier, V. +8 more
Atmospheric escape has been detected from the exoplanet
