Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program): The Magnetic Fields in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium of the Antennae Galaxies
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acaaa2 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942L..13L

Reach, William T.; Dale, Daniel A.; Lopez-Rodriguez, Enrique +8 more

Mergers are thought to be a fundamental channel for galaxy growth, perturbing the gas dynamics and the magnetic fields (B-fields) in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, the mechanisms that amplify and dissipate B-fields during a merger remain unclear. We characterize the morphology of the ordered B-fields in the multiphase ISM of the closest m…

CEERS Key Paper. VII. JWST/MIRI Reveals a Faint Population of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Unseen by Spitzer

The Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science program observed the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2022. In this paper, we discuss the four MIRI pointings that observed with longer-wavelength filters, including F770W, F1000W, F1280W, F1500W, F1800W, and F2100W. We compare …

TOI-3984 A b and TOI-5293 A b: Two Temperate Gas Giants Transiting Mid-M Dwarfs in Wide Binary Systems
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/acdac7 Bibcode: 2023AJ....166...30C

Kobulnicky, Henry A.; Kowalski, Adam F.; Cochran, William D. +30 more

We confirm the planetary nature of two gas giants discovered by TESS to transit M dwarfs with stellar companions at wide separations. TOI-3984 A (J = 11.93) is an M4 dwarf hosting a short-period (4.353326 ± 0.000005 days) gas giant (M p = 0.14 ± 0.03 M J and R p = 0.71 ± 0.02 R J) with a wide-separat…

Mother of dragons. A massive, quiescent core in the dragon cloud (IRDC G028.37+00.07)
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245668 Bibcode: 2023A&A...675A..53B

Bigiel, F.; Parker, R. J.; Longmore, S. N. +15 more

Context. Core accretion models of massive star formation require the existence of massive, starless cores within molecular clouds. Yet, only a small number of candidates for such truly massive, monolithic cores are currently known.
Aims: Here we analyse a massive core in the well-studied infrared-dark cloud (IRDC) called the `dragon cloud' (a…

Exploring the diversity and similarity of radially anisotropic Milky Way-like stellar haloes: implications for disrupted dwarf galaxy searches
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad2361 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.525..683O

Springel, Volker; Orkney, Matthew D. A.; Laporte, Chervin F. P. +7 more

We investigate the properties of mergers comparable to the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies. The merger progenitors span an order of magnitude in their peak stellar mass ($3\times 10^8\lt M_{\star }/\rm {M}_{\odot }\lt 4\times 10^9$) and include both rotation and pressure-support…

Two warm Neptunes transiting HIP 9618 revealed by TESS and Cheops
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1319 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.523.3069O

Guterman, P.; Alonso, R.; Deleuil, M. +126 more

HIP 9618 (HD 12572, TOI-1471, TIC 306263608) is a bright (G = 9.0 mag) solar analogue. TESS photometry revealed the star to have two candidate planets with radii of 3.9 ± 0.044 R (HIP 9618 b) and 3.343 ± 0.039 R (HIP 9618 c). While the 20.77291 d period of HIP 9618 b was measured unambiguously, HIP 9618 c showed only two tr…

Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Quiescent Coronal Rain over an Active Region
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acd44b Bibcode: 2023ApJ...950..171S

Antolin, Patrick; Schad, Thomas A.; Froment, Clara +1 more

The solar corona produces coronal rain, hundreds of times colder and denser material than the surroundings. Coronal rain is known to be deeply linked to coronal heating, but its origin, dynamics, and morphology are still not well understood. The leading theory for its origin is thermal instability (TI) occurring in coronal loops in a state of ther…

White dwarf Random Forest classification through Gaia spectral coefficients
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347601 Bibcode: 2023A&A...679A.127G

Rebassa-Mansergas, Alberto; Torres, Santiago; García-Zamora, Enrique Miguel

Context. The third data release of Gaia has provided approximately 220 million low resolution spectra. Among these, about 100 000 correspond to white dwarfs. The magnitude of this quantity of data precludes the possibility of performing spectral analysis and type determination by human inspection. In order to tackle this issue, we explore the poss…

Models of Rotating Infall for the B335 Protostar
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acaa38 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...943...90E

Choi, Minho; Di Francesco, James; Lee, Jeong-Eun +7 more

Models of the protostellar source, B335, are developed using axisymmetric three-dimensional models to resolve conflicts found in one-dimensional models. The models are constrained by a large number of observations, including ALMA, Herschel, and Spitzer data. Observations of the protostellar source B335 with ALMA show redshifted absorption against …

TOI-2525 b and c: A Pair of Massive Warm Giant Planets with Strong Transit Timing Variations Revealed by TESS
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/acba9b Bibcode: 2023AJ....165..179T

Trifonov, Trifon; Henning, Thomas; Kürster, Martin +44 more

The K-type star TOI-2525 has an estimated mass of M = ${0.849}_{-0.033}^{+0.024}$ M and radius of R = ${0.785}_{-0.007}^{+0.007}$ R observed by the TESS mission in 22 sectors (within sectors 1 and 39). The TESS light curves yield significant transit events of two companions, which show strong transit timing variations (TT…
