A new dynamical modeling of the WASP-47 system with CHEOPS observations
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245486 Bibcode: 2023A&A...673A..42N

Among the hundreds of known hot Jupiters (HJs), only five have been found to have companions on short-period orbits. Within this rare class of multiple planetary systems, the architecture of WASP-47 is unique, hosting an HJ (planet-b) with both an inner and an outer sub-Neptunian mass companion (-e and -d, respectively) as well as an additional no…

JWST uncovers helium and water abundance variations in the bulge globular cluster NGC 6440
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347961 Bibcode: 2023A&A...679L..13C

Cadelano, Mario; Pallanca, Cristina; Dalessandro, Emanuele +9 more

We used ultra-deep observations obtained with the NIRCam aboard the James Webb Space Telescope to explore the stellar population of NGC 6440: a typical massive, obscured, and contaminated globular cluster formed and orbiting within the Galactic bulge. Leveraging the exceptional capabilities of this camera, we sampled the cluster down to about five…

Arecibo and FAST timing follow-up of 12 millisecond pulsars discovered in Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac1305 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.518.1672M

Wang, P.; Kramer, M.; Zhang, L. +46 more

We report the phase-connected timing ephemeris, polarization pulse profiles, Faraday rotation measurements, and Rotating-Vector-Model (RVM) fitting results of 12 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) discovered with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST survey (CRAFTS). The timing campaigns wer…

Spectroscopic Follow-up of Gaia Exoplanet Candidates: Impostor Binary Stars Invade the Gaia DR3 Astrometric Exoplanet Candidates
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/acd53d Bibcode: 2023AJ....165..266M

Albrecht, Simon H.; Marcussen, Marcus L.

In this paper, we report on the follow-up of six potential exoplanets detected with Gaia astrometry and provide an overview of what is currently known about the nature of the entire Gaia astrometric exoplanet candidate sample, 72 systems in total. We discuss the primary false-positive scenario for astrometric planet detections: binary systems with…

Short-period pulsating hot-subdwarf stars observed by TESS. I. Southern ecliptic hemisphere
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244888 Bibcode: 2023A&A...669A..48B

Van Grootel, V.; Charpinet, S.; Kilkenny, D. +7 more

We present results of a Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) search for short-period pulsations in compact stellar objects observed in years 1 and 3 of the TESS mission, during which the southern ecliptic hemisphere was targeted. We describe the TESS data used and the details of the search method. For many of the targets, we use unpublishe…

The origin of free-floating planets
DOI: 10.1007/s10509-023-04175-5 Bibcode: 2023Ap&SS.368...17M

Miret-Roig, Núria

Free-floating planets (FFPs) are the lightest products of star formation and they carry important information on the initial conditions of the environment in which they were formed. They were first discovered in the 2000 s but still few of them have been identified and confirmed due to observational challenges. This is a review of the last advance…

Multiwavelength study of the galactic PeVatron candidate LHAASO J2108+5157
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245086 Bibcode: 2023A&A...673A..75A

Antonelli, L. A.; Fukazawa, Y.; Gasparrini, D. +267 more

Context. Several new ultrahigh-energy (UHE) γ-ray sources have recently been discovered by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) collaboration. These represent a step forward in the search for the so-called Galactic PeVatrons, the enigmatic sources of the Galactic cosmic rays up to PeV energies. However, it has been shown that mu…

Potential scientific synergies in weak lensing studies between the CSST and Euclid space probes
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243978 Bibcode: 2023A&A...669A.128L

Schrabback, T.; Zhang, J.; Kneib, J. P. +24 more


Aims: With the next generation of large surveys poised to join the ranks of observational cosmology in the near future, it is important to explore their potential synergies and to maximize their scientific outcomes. In this study, we aim to investigate the complementarity of two upcoming space missions: Euclid and the China Space Station Tele…

The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey-V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad2227 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.525.3086L

Sestito, Federico; Martin, Nicolas; Malhan, Khyati +6 more

We present a new spectroscopic study of 175 stars in the vicinity of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d ~ 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system to solve the conundrum that whether Hercules is tidally disrupting. We combine broad-band photometry, proper m…

Grazian, Andrea; Boutsia, Konstantina; Cupani, Guido +10 more

The QUBRICS (QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere) survey aims at constructing a sample of the brightest quasars with $z \lower.5ex\hbox{$\,\, \buildrel\gt \over \sim \,\,$}2.5$, observable with facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. QUBRICS makes use of the available optical and IR wide-field surveys in the South and…
