Gaia characterizes the stellar populations of nearby open clusters with unprecedented precision. We investigate the Böhm-Vitense gap, which has been found as a prominent feature in the stellar sequence of open clusters. Using PARSEC isochrone fitting, we derive astrophysical parameters for more than 1100 bona fide single stars each in Praesepe, id…

Perturbation effect of solar radiation pressure on the Sun-Earth co-orbital motion
DOI: 10.1007/s10509-024-04387-3 Bibcode: 2024Ap&SS.369..124Z

Zhao, Mingxu; Qi, Yi; Qiao, Dong

Sun-Earth co-orbital motions have an important value in deep space explorations due to their unique orbital characteristics and spatial configurations. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the solar radiation pressure (SRP) on the Sun-Earth co-orbital motion. Firstly, we derive several analytical formulas of the effect of the SRP on orbi…

Infrared colours and bolometric corrections of SiO masing stars in the inner Milky Way
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347661 Bibcode: 2024A&A...686A.222M

Messineo, Maria


Aims: We analysed a sample of SiO-masing late-type stars located in the inner Galaxy with the goal of setting better constraints on their obscuration.
Methods: This reference sample has allowed us to define mathematical relations between their dereddened infrared colours and the observed colours (e.g. Ks-[8], Ks-[24…

Current and secular accretion rates of EX Hydrae
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450486 Bibcode: 2024A&A...687A.273B

Beuermann, K.; Reinsch, K.

We report an observed accretion rate of Ṁ1 = (3.86 ± 0.60) × 10−11 M yr−1 for the white dwarf in the short-period, intermediate polar EX Hya. This result is based upon the accretion-induced 4π-averaged energy flux from 2.45 µm to 100 keV and the corresponding luminosity at the G…

High-latitude Observations of Dissipation-range Turbulence by the Ulysses Spacecraft during the Solar Minimum of 1993–96: The Spectral Break and Anisotropy
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad65e9 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...974...94W

Isenberg, Philip A.; Schwadron, Nathan A.; Murphy, Neil +6 more

We examine Ulysses magnetic field observations from 1993 to 1996 as the spacecraft made its first fast-latitude scan from the southern to the northern hemisphere. Most of the observations we use are representative of high-latitude solar minimum conditions. We examine magnetic field power spectra characteristics of interplanetary turbulence at high…

Unambiguous detection of mesospheric CO2 clouds on Mars using 2.7 µm absorption band from the ACS/TGO solar occultations
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2024.116271 Bibcode: 2024Icar..42316271L

Grigoriev, A.; Montmessin, F.; Fedorova, A. +5 more

Mesospheric CO2 clouds are one of two types of carbon dioxide clouds known on Mars. We present observations of mesospheric CO2 clouds made by Atmospheric Chemistry Suite (ACS) onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). We analyzed 1663 solar occultation sessions of Thermal InfraRed (TIRVIM) and Middle InfraRed…

Multispacecraft Observations of Protons and Helium Nuclei in Some Solar Energetic Particle Events toward the Maximum of Cycle 25
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad7395 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...974..176B

Ubertini, P.; Battiston, R.; Burger, W. J. +41 more

The intricate behavior of particle acceleration and transport mechanisms complicates the overall efforts in formulating a comprehensive understanding of solar energetic particle (SEP) events; these efforts include observations of low-energy particles (from tens of keV to hundreds of MeV) by space-borne instruments and measurements by the ground-ba…

Structural properties of subgroups of stars associated with open clusters
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1869 Bibcode: 2024MNRAS.533.1782G

Hetem, Annibal; Gregorio-Hetem, Jane

Recent studies have identified star clusters with multiple components based on accurate spatial distributions and/or proper motions from Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3), utilizing diverse diagnostics to gain an understanding of subgroup evolution. These findings motivated us to search for subgroups among the objects examined in our previous work, which …

Shi, Jianrong; Liu, Zhicun; Cui, Wenyuan +4 more

In this work, we update the catalog of OB stars based on the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope data release 7 and modify the OB stars' selection criteria in spectral line indices' space. The new catalog includes 37,778 spectra of 27,643 OB stars, of which 3827 OB stars are newly identified. The spectral subclasses of 27,643…

Investigating and comparing the IRIS spectral lines Mg II, Si IV, and C II for flare precursor diagnostics
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347824 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A..72Z

Kleint, Lucia; Panos, Brandon; Zbinden, Jonas

Context. Reliably predicting solar flares can mitigate the risks of technological damage and enhance scientific output by providing reliable pointings for observational campaigns. Flare precursors in the spectral line Mg II have been identified. Aims. We extend previous studies by examining the presence of flare precursors in additional spectral l…
