Hidden Giants in JWST's PEARLS: An Ultramassive z = 4.26 Submillimeter Galaxy that Is Invisible to HST
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acf931 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...958...36S

Grogin, Norman A.; Koekemoer, Anton M.; Pirzkal, Nor +32 more

We present a multiwavelength analysis using the Submillimeter Array (SMA), James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, NOEMA, JWST, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and the Spitzer Space Telescope of two dusty strongly star-forming galaxies, 850.1 and 850.2, seen through the massive cluster lens A 1489. These SMA-located sources both lie at z = 4.26 and have …

Gaia Data Release 3. Gaia scan-angle-dependent signals and spurious periods
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245353 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..25H

Harrison, D. L.; Audard, M.; Gosset, E. +23 more

Context. Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) time series data may contain spurious signals related to the time-dependent scan angle.
Aims: We aim to explain the origin of scan-angle-dependent signals and how they can lead to spurious periods, provide statistics to identify them in the data, and suggest how to deal with them in Gaia DR3 data and in…

Detection of the Keplerian decline in the Milky Way rotation curve
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347513 Bibcode: 2023A&A...678A.208J

Amram, Philippe; Chemin, Laurent; Hammer, François +4 more

Our position inside the Galactic disc has previously prevented us from establishing an accurate rotation curve (RC). The advent of Gaia and its third data release (Gaia DR3) made it possible to specify the RC up to twice the optical radius. We aim to establish a new RC of the Galaxy from the Gaia DR3 by drastically reducing systematic uncertaintie…

The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts from Late-time X-Ray Afterglows
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acf830 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...959...13R

Berger, E.; Chornock, R.; Laskar, T. +14 more

We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed ≈0.8-60 days postburst using Chandra and XMM-Newton. We provide the inferred distributions of the SGRB jet opening angles and true event rates to compare against neutron star merger rates. We perform a uniform analysis and modeling of their afterglows, obtaining 10 open…

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Multiwavelength View of Feedback-driven Bubbles (the Phantom Voids) across NGC 628
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/aca7b9 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...944L..22B

Sandstrom, Karin M.; Henshaw, Jonathan D.; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik +51 more

We present a high-resolution view of bubbles within the Phantom Galaxy (NGC 628), a nearby (~10 Mpc), star-forming (~2 M yr-1), face-on (i ~ 9°) grand-design spiral galaxy. With new data obtained as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS)-JWST treasury program, we perform a detailed case s…

A Tale of Two Disks: Mapping the Milky Way with the Final Data Release of APOGEE
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ace9b8 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...954..124I

Bizyaev, Dmitry; Brownstein, Joel R.; Cunha, Katia +24 more

We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), α-element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of 66,496 red giant stars from the final data release (DR17) of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. We measure radial and vertical gradients, quantify the distrib…

Search for a Black Hole Binary in Gaia DR3 Astrometric Binary Stars with Spectroscopic Data
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acbf36 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...946...79T

Hattori, Kohei; Shikauchi, Minori; Tanikawa, Ataru +3 more

We report the discovery of a candidate binary system consisting of a black hole (BH) and a red giant branch star in Gaia DR3. This binary system was discovered from 64,108 binary solutions for which both astrometric and spectroscopic data are available. For this system, the astrometric and spectroscopic solutions are consistent with each other, ma…

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Mid-infrared Emission Traces Both Gas Column Density and Heating at 100 pc Scales
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acaf85 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...944L...9L

Bolatto, Alberto D.; Henshaw, Jonathan D.; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik +48 more

We compare mid-infrared (mid-IR), extinction-corrected Hα, and CO (2-1) emission at 70-160 pc resolution in the first four PHANGS-JWST targets. We report correlation strengths, intensity ratios, and power-law fits relating emission in JWST's F770W, F1000W, F1130W, and F2100W bands to CO and Hα. At these scales, CO and Hα each correlate strongly wi…

Stellar ages, masses, extinctions, and orbital parameters based on spectroscopic parameters of Gaia DR3
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244283 Bibcode: 2023A&A...669A.104K

Schultheis, M.; Recio-Blanco, A.; de Laverny, P. +13 more

Context.Gaia's third data release provides radial velocities for 33 million stars and spectroscopically derived atmospheric parameters for more than 5 million targets. When combined with the astrometric data, these allow us to derive orbital and stellar parameters that are key to understanding the stellar populations of the Milky Way and to perfor…

Santangelo, A.; Wilms, J.; Doroshenko, V. +3 more

We present a new catalogue of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the Galaxy. The catalogue contains source names, coordinates, source types, fluxes, distances, system parameters, and other characteristic properties of 349 LMXBs, including systems that have been newly discovered or reclassified since the most recently reported LMXB catalogues. The …
