Extreme-ultraviolet fine structure and variability associated with coronal rain revealed by Solar Orbiter/EUI HRIEUV and SPICE
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346016 Bibcode: 2023A&A...676A.112A

Context. Coronal rain is the most dramatic cooling phenomenon of the solar corona. Recent observations in the visible and UV spectrum have shown that coronal rain is a pervasive phenomenon in active regions. Its strong link with coronal heating through the thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) - thermal instability (TI) scenario makes it an essential diag…

The Metal-weak Milky Way Stellar Disk Hidden in the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus Debris: The APOGEE DR17 View
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ace185 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...953..143F

Feltzing, Sofia; Feuillet, Diane

We have for the first time identified the early stellar disk in the Milky Way by using a combination of elemental abundances and kinematics. Using data from APOGEE DR17 and Gaia we select stars in the Mg-Mn-Al-Fe plane with elemental abundances indicative of an accreted origin and find stars with both halo-like and disk-like kinematics. The stars …

Internal gravity waves in massive stars. II. Frequency analysis across stellar mass
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245727 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A.134R

Handler, G.; Ratnasingam, R. P.; Rogers, T. M. +4 more

Stars that are over 1.6 solar masses are generally known to possess convective cores and radiative envelopes, which allows for the propagation of outwardly travelling internal gravity waves (IGWs). Here, we study the generation and propagation of IGWs in such stars using two-dimensional, fully non-linear hydrodynamical simulations with realistic s…

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. VIII. Complete Sample of 2019 Subprime Field Planets
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/accb8f Bibcode: 2023AJ....165..226J

Maoz, Dan; Han, Cheongho; Udalski, Andrzej +43 more

We complete the publication of all microlensing planets (and "possible planets") identified by the uniform approach of the KMT AnomalyFinder system in the 21 KMT subprime fields during the 2019 observing season, namely, KMT-2019-BLG-0298, KMT-2019-BLG-1216, KMT-2019-BLG-2783, OGLE-2019-BLG-0249, and OGLE-2019-BLG-0679 (planets), as well as OGLE-20…

Fraction of stars in clusters for the LEGUS dwarf galaxies
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3748 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.519.3749C

Östlin, G.; Cignoni, M.; Tosi, M. +20 more

We study the young star cluster populations in 23 dwarf and irregular galaxies observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Legacy ExtraGalactic Ultraviolet Survey (LEGUS), and examine relationships between the ensemble properties of the cluster populations and those of their host galaxies: star formation rate (SFR) density (ΣSFR). A st…

Modelling continuum reverberation in active galactic nuclei: a spectral-timing analysis of the ultraviolet variability through X-ray reverberation in Fairall 9
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad504 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.521..251H

Done, Chris; Hagen, Scott

Continuum reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can provide new insight into the nature and geometry of the accretion flow. Some of the X-rays from the central corona irradiating the disc are absorbed, increasing the local disc temperature. This gives an additional reprocessed contribution to the spectral energy distribution (SED)…

Deep Potential: Recovering the Gravitational Potential from a Snapshot of Phase Space
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca3a7 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942...26G

Ting, Yuan-Sen; Green, Gregory M.; Kamdar, Harshil

One of the major goals of the field of Milky Way dynamics is to recover the gravitational potential field. Mapping the potential would allow us to determine the spatial distribution of matter-both baryonic and dark-throughout the galaxy. We present a novel method for determining the gravitational field from a snapshot of the phase-space positions …

Solar energetic electron events measured by MESSENGER and Solar Orbiter. Peak intensity and energy spectrum radial dependences: Statistical analysis
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244553 Bibcode: 2023A&A...670A..51R

Lario, D.; Rodríguez-Pacheco, J.; Wimmer-Schweingruber, R. F. +10 more

Context. We present a list of 61 solar energetic electron (SEE) events measured by the MESSENGER mission and the radial dependences of some parameters associated with these SEE events. The analysis covers the period from 2010 to 2015, when the heliocentric distance of MESSENGER varied between 0.31 and 0.47 au. We also show the radial dependences f…

Monitoring the young planet host V1298 Tau with SPIRou: planetary system and evolving large-scale magnetic field

Moutou, C.; Carmona, A.; Donati, J. -F. +15 more

We report results of a spectropolarimetric monitoring of the young Sun-like star V1298 Tau based on data collected with the near-infrared spectropolarimeter SPIRou at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope between late 2019 and early 2023. Using Zeeman-Doppler Imaging and the Time-dependent Imaging of Magnetic Stars methods on circularly polarized spe…

Crowther, Paul A.; Bestenlehner, Joachim M.; Rate, G.

We provide line luminosities and spectroscopic templates of prominent optical emission lines of 133 Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars by exploiting Gaia DR3 parallaxes and optical spectrophotometry, and provide comparisons with 112 counterparts in the Magellanic Clouds. Average line luminosities of the broad blue (He II λ4686, C III λλ4647,51, N III …
