Gravito-inertial and pressure modes detected in the B3 IV CoRoT target HD 43317
Auvergne, M.; Baudin, F.; Poretti, E. +14 more
Context. OB stars are important building blocks of the Universe, but we have only a limited sample of them well understood enough from an asteroseismological point of view to provide feedback on the current evolutionary models. Our study adds one special case to this sample, with more observational constraints than for most of these stars.

SBS 0846+513: a new γ-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy
Giroletti, M.; Stawarz, Ł.; Raiteri, C. M. +11 more
We report Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the radio-loud active galactic nucleus SBS 0846+513 (z = 0.5835), optically classified as a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy, together with new and archival radio-to-X-ray data. The source was not active at γ-ray energies during the first two years of Fermi operation. A significant increase in…
Modelling Herschel observations of hot molecular gas emission from embedded low-mass protostars
Wolfire, M. G.; van Dishoeck, E. F.; Bruderer, S. +6 more
Aims: Young stars interact vigorously with their surroundings, as evident from the highly rotationally excited CO (up to Eu/k = 4000 K) and H2O emission (up to 600 K) detected by the Herschel Space Observatory in embedded low-mass protostars. Our aim is to construct a model that reproduces the observations quantitatively…
Hard-X-ray emission lines from the decay of 44Ti in the remnant of supernova 1987A
Tsygankov, S. S.; Lutovinov, A. A.; Grebenev, S. A. +1 more
It is assumed that the radioactive decay of 44Ti powers the infrared, optical and ultraviolet emission of supernova remnants after the complete decay of 56Co and 57Co (the isotopes that dominated the energy balance during the first three to four years after the explosion) until the beginning of active interaction o…
The radial distribution of galaxies in groups and clusters
Belokurov, V.; Koposov, S. E.; McGee, S. L. +2 more
We present a new catalogue of 55 121 groups and clusters centred on luminous red galaxies from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 in the redshift range 0.15 ≤z≤ 0.4. We provide halo mass (M500) estimates for each of these groups derived from a calibration between the optical richness of bright galaxies (Mr≤-20.5) within …
Supermassive Black Holes, Pseudobulges, and the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Peterson, Bradley M.; Mathur, Smita; Grupe, Dirk +1 more
We present Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) observations of 10 galaxies that host narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) nuclei, believed to contain relatively smaller mass black holes accreting at high Eddington ratios. We deconvolve each ACS image into a nuclear point source (AGN), a bulge, and a disk, and fitted the bulge with a S…
Mid- and Far-infrared Properties of a Complete Sample of Local Active Galactic Nuclei
Nakagawa, Takao; Oyabu, Shinki; Gandhi, Poshak +4 more
We investigate the mid- (MIR) to far-infrared (FIR) properties of a nearly complete sample of local active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected in the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) all-sky hard X-ray (14-195 keV) survey, based on the cross correlation with the AKARI infrared survey catalogs complemented by those with Infrared Astronomical Satellite…
Herschel images of Fomalhaut. An extrasolar Kuiper belt at the height of its dynamical activity
Ivison, R. J.; Fridlund, M.; Blommaert, J. A. D. L. +33 more
Context. Fomalhaut is a young (2 ± 1 × 108 years), nearby (7.7 pc), 2 M⊙ star that is suspected to harbor an infant planetary system, interspersed with one or more belts of dusty debris.
Aims: We present far-infrared images obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory with an angular resolution between 5.7'' and 36.7'' a…
Hα Equivalent Widths from the 3D-HST Survey: Evolution with Redshift and Dependence on Stellar Mass
Schmidt, Kasper B.; Franx, Marijn; van Dokkum, Pieter +12 more
We investigate the evolution of the Hα equivalent width, EW(Hα), with redshift and its dependence on stellar mass, using the first data from the 3D-HST survey, a large spectroscopic Treasury program with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3. Combining our Hα measurements of 854 galaxies at 0.8 < z < 1.5 with those of ground-based s…
A Far-ultraviolet Atlas of Low-resolution Hubble Space Telescope Spectra of T Tauri Stars
Herczeg, Gregory J.; Valenti, Jeff A.; Brown, Alexander +6 more
We present a far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectral atlas consisting of spectra of 91 pre-main-sequence stars. Most stars in this sample were observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). A few archival spectra from the International Ultraviolet Explorer and the Goddard High Res…
