Resolving ambiguities in the inferred star formation histories of intense [O III] emitters in the reionization Era
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1597 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.523.3018L

Laporte, N.; Ellis, R. S.; Roberts-Borsani, G. +1 more

Early JWST spectroscopic campaigns have confirmed the presence of strong [O III] line-emitting galaxies in the redshift interval 7 < z < 9. Although deduced earlier from Spitzer photometry as an indicative of young stellar populations, some studies suggested the relevant photometric excesses attributed to [O III] emission could, in part, be …

New multiple AGN systems with subarcsec separation: Confirmation of candidates selected via the novel GMP method
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202345853 Bibcode: 2023A&A...671L...4C

Marconi, A.; Vignali, C.; Rosati, P. +18 more

The existence of multiple active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at small projected distances on the sky is due to either the presence of multiple, inspiraling supermassive black holes, or to gravitational lensing of a single AGN. Both phenomena allow us to address important astrophysical and cosmological questions. However, few kiloparsec-separation multi…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. A long-period planet around GJ 1151 measured with CARMENES and HARPS-N data
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245053 Bibcode: 2023A&A...671A..50B

Nagel, E.; Amado, P. J.; Caballero, J. A. +38 more

Context. Detecting a planetary companion in a short-period orbit through radio emission from the interaction with its host star is a new prospect in exoplanet science. Recently, a tantalising signal was found close to the low-mass stellar system GJ 1151 using LOFAR observations.
Aims: We studied spectroscopic time-series data of GJ 1151 in or…

The Far Side of the Galactic Bar/Bulge Revealed through Semi-regular Variables
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad01bf Bibcode: 2023AJ....166..249H

Huber, Daniel; Saunders, Nicholas; Bedding, Timothy R. +8 more

The Galactic bulge is critical to our understanding of the Milky Way. However, due to the lack of reliable stellar distances, the structure and kinematics of the bulge/bar beyond the Galactic center have remained largely unexplored. Here, we present a method to measure distances of luminous red giants using a period-amplitude-luminosity relation a…

The Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey: Optically Thin and Thick Mg II Lines as Probes of Lyman Continuum Escape
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca89a Bibcode: 2023ApJ...943...94X

Henry, Alaina; Hayes, Matthew; Chisholm, John +14 more

The Mg II λλ2796, 2803 doublet has been suggested as a useful indirect indicator for the escape of Lyα and Lyman continuum (LyC) photons in local star-forming galaxies. However, studies to date have focused on small samples of galaxies with strong Mg II or strong LyC emission. Here, we present the first study of Mg II to probe a large dynamic rang…

A polarimetrically oriented X-ray stare at the accreting pulsar EXO 2030+375
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346581 Bibcode: 2023A&A...675A..29M

Kaaret, Philip; Wu, Kinwah; Enoto, Teruaki +105 more

Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) are presumed to be ideal targets for polarization measurements, as their high magnetic field strength is expected to polarize the emission up to a polarization degree of ∼80%. However, such expectations are being challenged by recent observations of XRPs with the Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE). Here, we re…

JWST and ALMA Imaging of Dust-obscured, Massive Substructures in a Typical z ∼ 3 Star-forming Disk Galaxy
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/accc82 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...948L...8R

Giavalisco, Mauro; Schramm, Malte; Daddi, Emanuele +8 more

We present an identification of dust-attenuated star-forming galactic-disk substructures in a typical star-forming galaxy (SFG), UDF2, at z = 2.696. To date, substructures containing significant buildup of stellar mass and actively forming stars have yet to be found in typical (i.e., main-sequence) SFGs at z > 2. This is due to the strong dust …

A First Look at Spatially Resolved Balmer Decrements at 1.0 < z < 2.4 from JWST NIRISS Slitless Spectroscopy
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acd1db Bibcode: 2023ApJ...949L..11M

Willott, Chris J.; Bradač, Maruša; Asada, Yoshihisa +14 more

We present the first results on the spatial distribution of dust attenuation at 1.0 < z < 2.4 traced by the Balmer decrement, Hα/Hβ, in emission-line galaxies using deep JWST NIRISS slitless spectroscopy from the CAnadian NIRISS Unbiased Cluster Survey (CANUCS). Hα and Hβ emission-line maps of emission-line galaxies are extracted and stacked…

GOALS-JWST: Pulling Back the Curtain on the AGN and Star Formation in VV 114
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acb2b8 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...944L..50R

Malkan, M. A.; Inami, H.; Murphy, E. J. +33 more

We present results from the James Webb Space Telescope Director's Discretionary Time Early Release Science program 1328 targeting the nearby, luminous infrared galaxy, VV 114. We use the MIRI and NIRSpec instruments to obtain integral-field spectroscopy of the heavily obscured eastern nucleus (V114E) and surrounding regions. The spatially resolved…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: the radio view of the cosmic star formation history
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1602 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.523.6082C

Prandoni, I.; Hardcastle, M. J.; Röttgering, H. J. A. +9 more

We present a detailed study of the cosmic star formation history over 90 per cent of cosmic time (0 ≲ z ≲ 4), using deep, radio continuum observations that probe star formation activity independent of dust. The Low Frequency Array Two Metre Sky Survey has imaged three well-studied extragalactic fields, Elais-N1, Boötes, and the Lockman Hole, reach…
