HR 10 as seen by CHEOPS and TESS: Revealing δ Scuti pulsations, granulation-like signal and hint for transients
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346180 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A..73S

Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M.; Erikson, A. +78 more

Context. HR 10 has only recently been identified as a binary system. Previously thought to be an A-type shell star, it appears that both components are fast-rotating A-type stars, each presenting a circumstellar envelope. Although showing complex photometric variability, spectroscopic observations of the metallic absorption lines reveal variation …

Unveiling very young O stars. Two Galactic O2V((f*))z in Westerlund 2
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449474 Bibcode: 2024A&A...685L...5R

Roman-Lopes, A.

Context. O-type stars are known to significantly contribute to both the dynamics and evolution of galaxies. Massive and luminous, they probably control and regulate the galaxies star formation rates. The stellar feedback generated by such cosmic beasts can strongly affect the local star formation rate, with effects in the current (and future) gene…

Planetary orbital mapping and mosaicking (POMM) integrated open source software environment
DOI: 10.1016/j.ascom.2024.100788 Bibcode: 2024A&C....4600788L

Logan, Thomas L.; Smyth, Michael M.; Calef, Fred J.

Several Open Source planetary orbital mapping and utility image processing software packages, including, VICAR, AFIDS, ISIS, GDAL, and GeoTIFF, have been integrated into a single software environment (POMM), where package programs can be run independently from a Linux command line, or combined in synergistic scripts that facilitate advanced trans-…

The corona of a fully convective star with a near-polar flare
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449541 Bibcode: 2024A&A...687A.138I

Stelzer, B.; Poppenhäger, K.; Ilin, E. +1 more

Context. In 2020, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observed a rapidly rotating M7 dwarf, TIC 277539431, producing a flare at 81° latitude, the highest latitude flare located to date. This is in stark contrast to solar flares that occur much closer to the equator, typically below 30°. The mechanisms that allow flares at high latitud…

Variation in the intensity ratio at each wavelength point of the Si IV 1394/1403 Å lines: Spectral diagnostics of a bifurcated eruption
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449488 Bibcode: 2024A&A...692A.210Z

Xu, Zhe; Xue, Zhike; Yan, Xiaoli +3 more

Aims. This study aims to investigate the deviation of the intensity ratio of the Si IV 1394 Å and 1403 Å emission lines from the expected value of 2 in the optically thin regime, as has been observed in many recent studies. Methods. We analyzed the integrated intensity ratio (R) and the wavelength-dependent ratio (r(Δλ)) in a small bifurcated erup…

MOSEL survey: Unwrapping the Epoch of Reionisation through mimic galaxies at Cosmic Noon
DOI: 10.1017/pasa.2024.37 Bibcode: 2024PASA...41...40J

Harshan, Anishya; Gupta, Anshu; Trott, Cathryn M. +4 more

The nature of the first galaxies that reionised the universe during the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) remains unclear. Attempts to directly determine spectral properties of these early galaxies are affected by both limited photometric constraints across the spectrum and by the opacity of the intergalactic medium to the Lyman Continuum (LyC) at high …

Two Young Eclipsing Binaries in Orion with Temperatures and Radii Affected by Spots and Third Bodies
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad6a17 Bibcode: 2024AJ....168..134K

Stassun, Keivan G.; Kounkel, Marina

In this work we present a model of two young eclipsing binaries in the Orion complex. Both heavily spotted, they present radii and temperatures that are in disagreement with the predictions of standard stellar models. 2M05‑06 consists of two stars with different masses (∼0.52 and ∼0.42 M ) but with very similar radii (∼0.9 R

Analysis of faults and pit chains in Noctis Labyrinthus: Implications for early extension and possible magmatic plumbing
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2024.116075 Bibcode: 2024Icar..41516075E

Sefton-Nash, Elliot; De Marchi, Guido; D'Incecco, Piero +10 more

Noctis Labyrinthus has been a region of disputed origin due to its complexity and poor understanding of how various processes and mechanisms may have combined to form it. The surface is an integrated record of intensive tectonic activity expressed by a multiple extended sets of dip-slip faults oriented in different directions, and thought to have …

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long-term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring
DOI: 10.1002/asna.20230118 Bibcode: 2024AN....34530118L

Mugrauer, Markus; Lux, Oliver; Bischoff, Richard

RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow-up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain-Teleskop-Kamera II and the Schmid…

HX Velorum: Ellipsoidal/Rotational Binary With β Cep Type Component
DOI: 10.1002/asna.20240028 Bibcode: 2024AN....34540028G

Gürol, B.

We present the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light curve analysis of HX Velorum, located in the Southern Hemisphere, where one of the components is found for the first time to be a β$$ \beta $$ Cep (BCEP) type pulsator. The TESS observations of HX Velorum were published in a total of 6 sectors. Fourier analysis of the observations r…
