Weighing Neutrinos with Cosmic Neutral Hydrogen
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/814/2/146 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...814..146V

Viel, Matteo; Bull, Philip; Villaescusa-Navarro, Francisco

We investigate the signatures left by massive neutrinos on the spatial distribution of neutral hydrogen (H i) in the post-reionization era by running hydrodynamic simulations that include massive neutrinos as additional collisionless particles. We find that halos in massive/massless neutrino cosmologies host a similar amount of neutral hydrogen, a…

E-BOSS: An Extensive stellar BOw Shock Survey. II. Catalogue second release
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201424676 Bibcode: 2015A&A...578A..45P

Peri, C. S.; Benaglia, P.; Isequilla, N. L.

Context. Stellar bow shocks have been studied not only observationally, but also theoretically since the late 1980s. Only a few catalogues of them exist. The bow shocks show emission along all the electromagnetic spectrum, but they are detected more easily in infrared wavelengths. The release of new and high-quality infrared data eases the discove…

Chemical tracers of episodic accretion in low-mass protostars
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201425365 Bibcode: 2015A&A...577A.102V

Bergin, Edwin A.; Visser, Ruud; Jørgensen, Jes K.


Aims: Accretion rates in low-mass protostars can be highly variable in time. Each accretion burst is accompanied by a temporary increase in luminosity, heating up the circumstellar envelope and altering the chemical composition of the gas and dust. This paper aims to study such chemical effects and discusses the feasibility of using molecular…

The evolving relation between star formation rate and stellar mass in the VIDEO survey since z = 3
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stv1715 Bibcode: 2015MNRAS.453.2540J

Vaccari, Mattia; Häußler, Boris; Jarvis, Matt +4 more

We investigate the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass, M*, relation of a star-forming (SF) galaxy (SFG) sample in the XMM-LSS field to z ∼ 3.0 using the near-infrared data from the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey. Combining VIDEO with broad-band photometry, we use the SED fitting algorithm CIGALE to derive S…

Spectral and spatial imaging of the Be+sdO binary ϕ Persei
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201425141 Bibcode: 2015A&A...577A..51M

Berio, P.; Meilland, A.; Millour, F. +25 more


Aims: The rapidly rotating Be star ϕ Persei was spun up by mass and angular momentum transfer from a now stripped-down, hot subdwarf companion. Here we present the first high angular resolution images of ϕ Persei made possible by new capabilities in long-baseline interferometry at near-IR and visible wave…

The Seven Sisters DANCe. I. Empirical isochrones, luminosity, and mass functions of the Pleiades cluster
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201425019 Bibcode: 2015A&A...577A.148B

Bertin, E.; Bouy, H.; Sarro, L. M. +7 more

Context. The DANCe survey provides photometric and astrometric (position and proper motion) measurements for approximately 2 million unique sources in a region encompassing ~80 deg2 centered on the Pleiades cluster.
Aims: We aim at deriving a complete census of the Pleiades and measure the mass and luminosity functions of the clust…

Detecting primordial B-modes after Planck
DOI: 10.1088/1475-7516/2015/11/031 Bibcode: 2015JCAP...11..031C

Zaldarriaga, Matias; Creminelli, Paolo; López Nacir, Diana +2 more

We update the forecasts for the measurement of the tensor-to-scalar ratio r for various ground-based experiments (AdvACT, CLASS, Keck/BICEP3, Simons Array, SPT-3G), balloons (EBEX 10k and Spider) and satellites (CMBPol, COrE and LiteBIRD), taking into account the recent Planck data on polarized dust and using a component separation method. The for…

Three-dimensional Multi-probe Analysis of the Galaxy Cluster A1689
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/806/2/207 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...806..207U

Broadhurst, Tom; Mroczkowski, Tony; Umetsu, Keiichi +7 more

We perform a three-dimensional multi-probe analysis of the rich galaxy cluster A1689, one of the most powerful known lenses on the sky, by combining improved weak-lensing data from new wide-field {{BVR}}Ci\prime z\prime Subaru/Suprime-Cam observations with strong-lensing, X-ray, and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE) data sets. We reconstr…

Pressure distribution of the high-redshift cluster of galaxies CL J1226.9+3332 with NIKA
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201425140 Bibcode: 2015A&A...576A..12A

Adam, R.; Benoît, A.; Catalano, A. +37 more

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is expected to provide a low scatter mass proxy for galaxy clusters since it is directly proportional to the cluster thermal energy. The tSZ observations have proven to be a powerful tool for detecting and studying them, but high angular resolution observations are now needed to push their investigation …
