Calibration of hybrid resolved star formation rate recipes based on PHANGS-MUSE Hα and Hβ maps
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244863 Bibcode: 2023A&A...670A..67B

Mapping star-formation rates (SFR) within galaxies is key to unveiling their assembly and evolution. Calibrations exist for computing the SFR from a combination of ultraviolet and infrared bands for galaxies as integrated systems, but their applicability to sub-galactic (kiloparsec) scales remains largely untested. We used integral field spectrosc…

The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) - VI. Connecting physical properties of the cool circumgalactic medium to galaxies at z ≈ 1
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1886 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.524..512Q

Faucher-Giguère, Claude-André; Johnson, Sean D.; Zahedy, Fakhri S. +12 more

This paper presents a newly established sample of 19 unique galaxies and galaxy groups at redshift z = 0.89-1.21 in six QSO fields from the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS), designated as the CUBSz1 sample. In this sample, nine galaxies or galaxy groups show absorption features, while the other 10 systems exhibit 2σ upper limits of $\log N …

A Systematic Search for Short-period Close White Dwarf Binary Candidates Based on Gaia EDR3 Catalog and Zwicky Transient Facility Data
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aca09e Bibcode: 2023ApJS..264...39R

Cheng, Sihao; Li, Chengyuan; Tang, Baitian +4 more

Galactic short-period close white dwarf binaries (CWDBs) are important objects for space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors in the millihertz frequency bands. Due to the intrinsically low luminosity, only about 25 identified CWDBs are detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), which are also known as verification binaries (V…

A Gaia view of the optical and X-ray luminosities of compact binary millisecond pulsars
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad2485 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.525.3963K

Linares, Manuel; Koljonen, Karri I. I.

In this paper, we study compact binary millisecond pulsars with low- and very low-mass companion stars (spiders) in the Galactic field, using data from the latest Gaia data release (DR3). We infer the parallax distances of the optical counterparts to spiders, which we use to estimate optical and X-ray luminosities. We compare the parallax distance…

Implications of the Milky Way Travel Velocity for Dynamical Mass Estimates of the Local Group
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca01f Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942...18C

Price-Whelan, Adrian M.; Peñarrubia, Jorge; Besla, Gurtina +4 more

The total mass of the Local Group (LG) is a fundamental quantity that enables interpreting the orbits of its constituent galaxies and placing the LG in a cosmological context. One of the few methods that allows inferring the total mass directly is the "Timing Argument," which models the relative orbit of the Milky Way (MW) and M31 in equilibrium. …

Starlight-polarization-based tomography of the magnetized ISM: PASIPHAE's line-of-sight inversion method
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244625 Bibcode: 2023A&A...670A.164P

Eriksen, H. K.; Ghosh, T.; Pearson, T. J. +20 more

We present the first Bayesian method for tomographic decomposition of the plane-of-sky orientation of the magnetic field with the use of stellar polarimetry and distance. This standalone tomographic inversion method presents an important step forward in reconstructing the magnetized interstellar medium (ISM) in three dimensions within dusty region…

First Detection of X-Ray Polarization from the Accreting Neutron Star 4U 1820-303
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acec6e Bibcode: 2023ApJ...953L..22D

Kaaret, Philip; Wu, Kinwah; Enoto, Teruaki +117 more

This paper reports the first detection of polarization in the X-rays for atoll-source 4U 1820-303, obtained with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) at 99.999% confidence level (CL). Simultaneous polarimetric measurements were also performed in the radio with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The IXPE observations of 4U 1820-303 wer…

Spatially resolved dust properties and quasar-galaxy decomposition of a hyper-luminous infrared galaxy at z = 4.4
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1464 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.523.4654T

Krumholz, Mark R.; Wisnioski, Emily; Tsukui, Takafumi +1 more

We report spatially resolved dust properties of the quasar host galaxy BRI1335-0417 at redshift z = 4.4 constrained by the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array observations. The dust temperature map, derived from a greybody fit to rest frame 90 and 161 µm continuum images, shows a steep increase towards the centre, reaching 57.1 ± 0.…

Direct observations of a complex coronal web driving highly structured slow solar wind
DOI: 10.1038/s41550-022-01834-5 Bibcode: 2023NatAs...7..133C

Chitta, L. P.; Seaton, D. B.; DeForest, C. E. +2 more

The solar wind consists of continuous streams of charged particles that escape into the heliosphere from the Sun, and is split into fast and slow components, with the fast wind emerging from the interiors of coronal holes. Near the ecliptic plane, the fast wind from low-latitude coronal holes is interspersed with a highly structured slow solar win…
