The Role of High-frequency Transverse Oscillations in Coronal Heating
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ace423 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...952L..15L

Van Doorsselaere, Tom; Lim, Daye; Berghmans, David +3 more

Transverse oscillations that do not show significant damping in solar coronal loops are found to be ubiquitous. Recently, the discovery of high-frequency transverse oscillations in small-scale loops has been accelerated by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on board Solar Orbiter. We perform a meta-analysis by considering the oscillation parameters re…

A Two-Martian Years Survey of the Water Vapor Saturation State on Mars Based on ACS NIR/TGO Occultations
DOI: 10.1029/2022JE007348 Bibcode: 2023JGRE..12807348F

Montmessin, Franck; Trokhimovskiy, Alexander; Alday, Juan +9 more

On Mars, condensation is the major factor constraining the vertical distribution of water vapor. Recent measurements of water and temperature profiles showed that water can be strongly supersaturated at and above the level where clouds form during the aphelion and perihelion seasons. Since 2018, the near-infrared spectrometer (NIR) of the Atmosphe…

Gaia Data Release 3. Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862 nm
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243283 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..40G

Prusti, T.; Mazeh, T.; Zucker, S. +444 more

Context. Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to trace Galactic structure.
Aims: Here, we demonstrate the capacity of the Gaia-Radial Veloc…

Magnetic Field Spectral Evolution in the Inner Heliosphere
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acaeff Bibcode: 2023ApJ...943L...8S

Fedorov, A.; Horbury, T. S.; Louarn, P. +24 more

Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter data are used to investigate the radial evolution of magnetic turbulence between 0.06 ≲ R ≲ 1 au. The spectrum is studied as a function of scale, normalized to the ion inertial scale d i . In the vicinity of the Sun, the inertial range is limited to a narrow range of scales and exhibits a power-law …

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Stellar-feedback-driven Excitation and Dissociation of Molecular Gas in the Starburst Ring of NGC 1365?
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/aca973 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...944L..19L

Bolatto, Alberto D.; Henshaw, Jonathan D.; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik +36 more

We compare embedded young massive star clusters (YMCs) to (sub-)millimeter line observations tracing the excitation and dissociation of molecular gas in the starburst ring of NGC 1365. This galaxy hosts one of the strongest nuclear starbursts and richest populations of YMCs within 20 Mpc. Here we combine near-/mid-IR PHANGS-JWST imaging with new A…

The Bimodal Absorption System Imaging Campaign (BASIC). I. A Dual Population of Low-metallicity Absorbers at z < 1
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acb047 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...944..101B

Johnson, Sean D.; Tripp, Todd M.; Prochaska, J. Xavier +17 more

The bimodal absorption system imaging campaign (BASIC) aims to characterize the galaxy environments of a sample of 36 H I-selected partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs) and Lyman limit systems (LLSs) in 23 QSO fields at z ≲ 1. These pLLSs/LLSs provide a unique sample of absorbers with unbiased and well-constrained metallicities, allowing us to explo…

Axion dark matter from lepton flavor-violating decays
DOI: 10.1016/j.physletb.2023.137919 Bibcode: 2023PhLB..84137919P

Panci, Paolo; Redigolo, Diego; Schwetz, Thomas +1 more

We propose simple scenarios where lepton flavor-violating couplings generate the observed dark matter abundance through freeze-in of an axion-like particle with mass in the few keV range. Compared to flavor-diagonal freeze-in, this mechanism enhances dark matter stability, softens stellar cooling constraints and improves the experimental sensitivi…

A Hydrodynamic Study of the Escape of Metal Species and Excited Hydrogen from the Atmosphere of the Hot Jupiter WASP-121b
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/accd5e Bibcode: 2023ApJ...951..123H

Lavvas, Panayotis; Koskinen, Tommi; Fossati, Luca +1 more

In the near-UV and optical transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-121b, recent observations have detected strong absorption features of Mg, Fe, Ca, and Hα, extending outside of the planet's Roche lobe. Studying these atomic signatures can directly trace the escaping atmosphere and constrain the energy balance of the upper atmosphere. To und…

Catalogue of solar-like oscillators observed by TESS in 120-s and 20-s cadence
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244579 Bibcode: 2023A&A...669A..67H

Li, Yaguang; Chaplin, William J.; Davies, Guy R. +12 more

Context. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has provided photometric light curves for stars across nearly the entire sky. This allows for the application of asteroseismology to a pool of potential solar-like oscillators that is unprecedented in size.
Aims: We aim to produce a catalogue of solar-like oscillators observed …

Type II radio bursts and their association with coronal mass ejections in solar cycles 23 and 24
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244015 Bibcode: 2023A&A...675A.102K

Kilpua, E. K. J.; Kumari, A.; Morosan, D. E. +1 more

Context. Meter-wavelength type II solar radio bursts are thought to be the signatures of shock-accelerated electrons in the corona. Studying these bursts can give information about the initial kinematics, dynamics, and energetics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the absence of white-light observations.
Aims: We investigate the occurrence o…
