Assessment of the near-Sun magnetic field of the 10 March 2022 coronal mass ejection observed by Solar Orbiter
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450204 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.233K

Aims. We estimate the near-Sun axial magnetic field of a coronal mass ejection (CME) on 10 March 2022. Solar Orbiter's in situ measurements, 7.8 degrees east of the Sun-Earth line at 0.43 AU, provided a unique vantage point, along with the WIND measurements at 0.99 AU. We determine a single power-law index from near-Sun to L1, including in situ me…

A Joint Microwave and Hard X-Ray Study toward Understanding the Transport of Accelerated Electrons During an Eruptive Solar Flare
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad3910 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...966..208M

Chen, Bin; Yu, Sijie; Battaglia, Andrea F. +1 more

The standard flare model, despite its success, is limited in comprehensively explaining the various processes involving nonthermal particles. One such missing ingredient is a detailed understanding of the various processes involved during the transport of accelerated electrons from their site of acceleration to different parts of the flare region.…

Magnetic properties of the umbral boundary during sunspot decay: Comparative study of multiple datasets
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348068 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A.160G

Jurčák, J.; Bello González, N.; García-Rivas, M.

Context. In recent years, the magnetic properties of the umbra-penumbra boundary of sunspots and the boundary of pores at various evolutionary stages have been characterised using datasets from different instruments. Aims. We aim to study the intrinsic differences between the intensity and vector magnetic field properties derived from Hinode/SP an…

A Surprising Excess of Radio Emission in Extremely Stable Quasars: A Unique Clue to Jet Launching?
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad5a0c Bibcode: 2024ApJ...971...60K

Cai, Zhen-Yi; Wang, Jun-Xian; Yuan, Feng +6 more

Quasars are generally divided into jetted radio-loud and nonjetted radio-quiet ones, but why only 10% of quasars are radio-loud has been puzzling for decades. Other than jet-induced phenomena, black hole mass, or Eddington ratio, a prominent difference between jetted and nonjetted quasars has scarcely been detected. Here we show a unique distincti…

Effects of ultrafast outflows on X-ray time lags in active galactic nuclei
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451688 Bibcode: 2024A&A...692A..78X

Bianchi, Stefano; Kara, Erin; Tombesi, Francesco +3 more

Context. The time lag between soft (e.g., 0.3–1 keV) and hard (e.g., 1–4 keV) X-ray photons has been observed in many active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and can reveal the accretion process and geometry around supermassive black holes. High-frequency Fe K and soft lags are considered to originate from the light-travel distances between the corona and t…

Pulsational and eclipsing nature of TIC 140736015
DOI: 10.1016/j.newast.2024.102271 Bibcode: 2024NewA..11302271G

Gürol, B.; Zhou, A. -Y.

We present the discovery of γ Doradus-type pulsations in the eclipsing binary TIC 140736015. We obtained the physical and geometrical parameters of this detached eclipsing binary hosting a pulsating component. Based on the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (…

Validation of the Bond et al. (2010) SDSS-derived kinematic models for the Milky Way's disk and halo stars with Gaia Data Release 3 proper motion and radial velocity data
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449653 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A.132D

Ivezić, Željko; Domínguez, Bruno; Chaini, Siddharth +2 more

We validate the Bond et al. (2010, ApJ, 716, 1) kinematic models for the Milky Way's disk and halo stars with Gaia Data Release 3 data. Bond et al. constructed models for stellar velocity distributions using stellar radial velocities measured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and stellar proper motions derived from SDSS and the Palomar Observ…

Analysis of KIC 7023917: Spotted Low-mass Ratio Eclipsing Binary with δ Scuti Pulsations
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad6dd3 Bibcode: 2024AJ....168..171G

Skarka, Marek; Karjalainen, Raine; Gajdoš, Pavol +3 more

Times of minima of eclipsing binary KIC 7023917 show quasiperiodic anti-symmetric deviations from the calculated one with an amplitude of up to 10 minutes and a period of 200–300 days. These changes correlate with the observed variations of the light-curve maxima (amplitude and phase separation). We used photometric data obtained by Kepler and TES…

An Extremely Low-density Exoplanet Spins Slow
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad8f39 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...976L..14L

Zhu, Wei; Cañas, Caleb I.; Bello-Arufe, Aaron +3 more

We present constraints on the shape of Kepler-51d, which is a superpuff with a mass ∼6 M and a radius ∼9 R , based on detailed modeling of the transit light curve from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec. The projected shape of this extremely low-density planet is consistent with being spherical, and a projected obla…

Investigating the nuclear properties of highly accreting active galactic nuclei with XMM-Newton
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449147 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A.337L

Guainazzi, M.; Vignali, C.; Piconcelli, E. +7 more

Highly accreting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have unique features that make them ideal laboratories for studying black hole accretion physics under extreme conditions. However, our understanding of the nuclear properties of these sources is hampered by the lack of a complete systematic investigation of this AGN class in terms of their main spect…
