DOI: 10.1029/2023JE008145 Bibcode: 2025JGRE..13008145X

Bugiolacchi, Roberto; Xu, Xiaoting; Xu, Yi +5 more

One of the key scientific goals of China's first Mars mission Tianwen-1 is to search for ground ice. This study focuses on investigating potential water ice reservoirs in the vicinity of the landing site of the Zhurong rover to provide geological context and references for data interpretation. Our study area is centered on Utopia Planitia (UP), wh…

A comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic study of B-type stars in the open cluster NGC 6834
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staf114 Bibcode: 2025MNRAS.537.1763R

Baume, G.; Granada, A.; Aidelman, Y. J. +1 more

This study focuses on the open cluster NGC 6834. Despite being well-known, its primary parameters show considerable variation. As an intermediate-age cluster (50-80 million years), it is expected to host a prominent population of B-type stars, including numerous Be stars. Fifteen B-type variable stars have already been identified in the vicinity o…

Disentangling stellar atmospheric parameters in astronomical spectra using generative adversarial neural networks: Application to Gaia/RVS parameterisation
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451786 Bibcode: 2025A&A...694A.326M

Álvarez, M. A.; Dafonte, C.; Manteiga, M. +4 more

Context. The rapid expansion of large-scale spectroscopic surveys has highlighted the need to use automatic methods to extract information about the properties of stars with the greatest efficiency and accuracy, and also to optimise the use of computational resources. Aims. We developed a method based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) to d…

A Case Study on the Impact of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection on the Martian O(1S) 557.7 nm Dayglow Emission Using ExoMars TGO/NOMAD-UVIS Observations: First Results
DOI: 10.1029/2024GL111745 Bibcode: 2025GeoRL..5211745S

Vandaele, Ann Carine; Gérard, Jean-Claude; Thomas, Ian R. +6 more

We report, for the first time, the impact of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) on the recently discovered O(1S) 557.7 nm dayglow emission in the Martian atmosphere. While there are a few studies on the seasonal variation of 557.7 nm dayglow emission available in the literature, the impact of ICME has not been investigated so …

DECaPS and SMA Discovery of a Highly Inclined Class I Young Stellar Object with an Outflow: IRAS 08235–4316
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad93b1 Bibcode: 2025AJ....169...51L

Wilner, David J.; Rao, Ramprasad; Edenhofer, Gordian +4 more

We present images of IRAS 08235–4316 with the Dark Energy Camera Plane Survey (DECaPS; spanning 0.398–1.034 µm, at ∼1″ resolution) and the Submillimeter Array (SMA; at 1.38 mm (217 GHz) and ∼1 9 × 1 2 resolution), a young stellar object (YSO) located in the Vela constellation …

Modeling of comet water production: I. Sensitivity to macro- and micro-model parameters
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202452109 Bibcode: 2025A&A...693A.123X

Küppers, M.; Hartogh, P.; Rezac, L. +3 more

Aims. This study investigates the impact of microscopic and macroscopic cometary surface properties on water production variations with heliocentric distance, focusing on dust layer thickness, grain size, nucleus shape, and spin axis orientation. Methods. We employed a two-layer thermophysical model to calculate effective gas production, incorpora…

The Guitar Filament's Magnetic Field Revealed by Starlight Polarization
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/adafa8 Bibcode: 2025ApJ...980..229D

Liodakis, Ioannis; Romani, Roger W.; Dinsmore, Jack T. +2 more

The Guitar nebula surrounding PSR B2224+65 boasts a pulsar X-ray filament likely aligned with the local magnetic field. We present new RoboPol stellar polarization data distributed along the line of sight to the pulsar. The polarizing effect of intervening magnetized dust allows us to extract a model for the dust-weighted magnetic field. We detect…

A global colour mosaic of Mars from Mars Express HRSC high altitude observations
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2024.116350 Bibcode: 2025Icar..42516350M

Jaumann, R.; Postberg, F.; Matz, K. -D. +8 more

The ever-changing transparency of the Martian atmosphere hinders the determination of absolute surface colour from spacecraft images. While individual high-resolution images from low orbit reveal numerous colour details of the geology, the colour variation between images caused by scattering off atmospheric dust can easily be of greater magnitude.…

Electron and proton peak intensities as observed by a five-spacecraft fleet in solar cycle 25
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450945 Bibcode: 2025A&A...693A.198F

Vainio, R.; Farwa, G. U.; Dresing, N. +9 more

Context. Solar energetic particle (SEP) events are related to solar flares and fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In the case of large events, which are typically associated with both a strong flare and a fast CME driving a shock front, identification of the dominant SEP acceleration mechanism is challenging. Aims. Using novel spacecraft observat…
