The investigation of the metal-poor tail in the Galactic bulge provides unique information on the early Milky Way assembly and evolution. A chemo-dynamical analysis of 17 very metal-poor stars (VMP, [Fe/H]<-2.0) selected from the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey was carried out based on Gemini/GRACES spectra. The chemistry suggests that the majorit…

Context. The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter consists of three telescopes: the two High Resolution Imagers, in EUV (HRIEUV) and in Lyman-α (HRILya), and the Full Sun Imager (FSI). Solar Orbiter/EUI started its Nominal Mission Phase on 2021 November 27.
Aims: Our aim is to present the EUI images fr…

Broad-line region in NGC 4151 monitored by two decades of reverberation mapping campaigns - I. Evolution of structure and kinematics
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad051 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.520.1807C

Dale, D. A.; Brotherton, Michael S.; Maithil, Jaya +33 more

We report the results of long-term reverberation mapping campaigns of the nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs) NGC 4151, spanning from 1994 to 2022, based on archived observations of the FAST Spectrograph Publicly Archived Programs and our new observations with the 2.3 m telescope at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory. We reduce and calibrate all th…

The TIME Table: rotation and ages of cool exoplanet host stars
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad343 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.520.5283G

Gaidos, Eric; Claytor, Zachary; Dungee, Ryan +2 more

Age is a stellar parameter that is both fundamental and difficult to determine. Among middle-aged M dwarfs, the most prolific hosts of close-in and detectable exoplanets, gyrochronology is the most promising method to assign ages, but requires calibration by rotation-temperature sequences (gyrochrones) in clusters of known ages. We curated a catal…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: The Black Hole Mass-Stellar Mass Relations at 0.2 ≲ z ≲ 0.8
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acddda Bibcode: 2023ApJ...954..173L

Koekemoer, Anton M.; Trump, Jonathan R.; Brandt, W. N. +7 more

We measure the correlation between black hole mass M BH and host stellar mass M * for a sample of 38 broad-line quasars at 0.2 ≲ z ≲ 0.8 (median redshift z med = 0.5). The black hole masses are derived from a dedicated reverberation mapping program for distant quasars, and the stellar masses are derived from two-ba…

UV-Optical Disk Reverberation Lags despite a Faint X-Ray Corona in the Active Galactic Nucleus Mrk 335
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acbcd3 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...947...62K

Kaspi, Shai; Fabian, Andrew C.; Komossa, S. +37 more

We present the first results from a 100-day Swift, NICER, and ground-based X-ray-UV-optical reverberation mapping campaign of the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Mrk 335, when it was in an unprecedented low X-ray flux state. Despite dramatic suppression of the X-ray variability, we still observe UV-optical lags as expected from disk reverberation. Moreover,…

The Absolute Age of M92
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/acd9b1 Bibcode: 2023AJ....166...18Y

Chaboyer, Brian; Boylan-Kolchin, Michael; Weisz, Daniel +3 more

The absolute age of a simple stellar population is of fundamental interest for a wide range of applications but is difficult to measure in practice, as it requires an understanding of the uncertainties in a variety of stellar evolution processes as well as the uncertainty in the distance, reddening, and composition. As a result, most studies focus…

The effects of stellar rotation along the main sequence of the 100-Myr-old massive cluster NGC 1850
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3170 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.518.1505K

Cabrera-Ziri, I.; Usher, C.; Bastian, N. +13 more

Young star clusters enable us to study the effects of stellar rotation on an ensemble of stars of the same age and across a wide range in stellar mass and are therefore ideal targets for understanding the consequences of rotation on stellar evolution. We combine MUSE spectroscopy with HST photometry to measure the projected rotational velocities (…

The TRAPUM L-band survey for pulsars in Fermi-LAT gamma-ray sources
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3742 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.519.5590C

Dhillon, V. S.; Calore, F.; Possenti, A. +35 more

More than 100 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been discovered in radio observations of gamma-ray sources detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), but hundreds of pulsar-like sources remain unidentified. Here, we present the first results from the targeted survey of Fermi-LAT sources being performed by the Transients and Pulsars with MeerK…

During the thirteenth encounter of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission, the spacecraft traveled through a topologically complex interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) beginning on 2022 September 5. PSP traversed through the flank and wake of the ICME while observing the event for nearly two days. The Solar Probe ANalyzer and FIELDS instrumen…
