The ALMA REBELS Survey: dust continuum detections at z > 6.5
Inami, Hanae; Nanayakkara, Themiya; Ferrara, Andrea +25 more
We report 18 dust continuum detections (≥3.3σ) at ~88 and 158 $\mu{\rm m}$ out of 49 ultraviolet (UV)-bright galaxies (MUV < -21.3 mag) at $z$ > 6.5, observed by the Cycle-7 Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program, Reionization-Era Bright Emission Line Survey (REBELS) and its pilot programs. This has more…
From Galactic Bars to the Hubble Tension: Weighing Up the Astrophysical Evidence for Milgromian Gravity
Banik, Indranil; Zhao, Hongsheng
Astronomical observations reveal a major deficiency in our understanding of physics—the detectable mass is insufficient to explain the observed motions in a huge variety of systems given our current understanding of gravity, Einstein's General theory of Relativity (GR). This missing gravity problem may indicate a breakdown of GR at low acceleratio…
The eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS). Identification and characterization of the counterparts to point-like sources
Finoguenov, A.; Georgakakis, A.; Salvato, M. +40 more
Context. In November 2019, eROSITA on board of the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory started to map the entire sky in X-rays. After the four-year survey program, it will reach a flux limit that is about 25 times deeper than ROSAT. During the SRG performance verification phase, eROSITA observed a contiguous 140 deg2 area of the s…
The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey. I. Survey Overview and Highlights
Tasse, C.; Heywood, I.; Camilo, F. +148 more
MeerKAT's large number (64) of 13.5 m diameter antennas, spanning 8 km with a densely packed 1 km core, create a powerful instrument for wide-area surveys, with high sensitivity over a wide range of angular scales. The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey (MGCLS) is a programme of long-track MeerKAT L-band (900−1670 MHz) observations of 115 galaxy…
A First Look at the Abundance Pattern-O/H, C/O, and Ne/O-in z > 7 Galaxies with JWST/NIRSpec
Finkelstein, Steven L.; Arrabal Haro, Pablo; Dickinson, Mark +9 more
We analyze the rest-frame near-UV and optical nebular spectra of three z > 7 galaxies from the Early Release Observations taken with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These three high-z galaxies show the detection of several strong emission nebular lines, including the temperature-sensitive [O II…
PARSEC V2.0: Stellar tracks and isochrones of low- and intermediate-mass stars with rotation
Chen, Y.; Bressan, A.; Girardi, L. +6 more
We present a new comprehensive collection of stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones for rotating low- and intermediate-mass stars assembled with the updated version of PARSEC V2.0. This version includes our recent calibration of the extra mixing from overshooting and rotation, as well as several improvements regarding the nuclear reaction netw…
Upper limit on the axion-photon coupling from magnetic white dwarf polarization
Safdi, Benjamin R.; Dessert, Christopher; Dunsky, David
Polarization measurements of thermal radiation from magnetic white dwarf (MWD) stars have been proposed as a probe of axion-photon mixing. The radiation leaving the surface of the MWD is unpolarized, but if low-mass axions exist then photons polarized parallel to the direction of the MWD's magnetic field may convert into axions, which induces a li…
A Highly Settled Disk around Oph163131
Pinte, C.; Ménard, F.; Duchêne, G. +10 more
High dust density in the midplane of protoplanetary disks is favorable for efficient grain growth and can allow fast formation of planetesimals and planets, before disks dissipate. Vertical settling and dust trapping in pressure maxima are two mechanisms allowing dust to concentrate in geometrically thin and high-density regions. In this work, we …
The Poor Old Heart of the Milky Way
Xiang, Maosheng; Conroy, Charlie; Hogg, David W. +9 more
Our Milky Way should host an ancient, metal-poor, and centrally concentrated stellar population, which reflects the star formation and enrichment in the few most massive progenitors that coalesced at high redshift to form the proto-Galaxy. While metal-poor stars are known to reside in the inner few kiloparsecs of our Galaxy, current data do not ye…
Hunting for open clusters in Gaia EDR3: 628 new open clusters found with OCfinder
Castro-Ginard, A.; Jordi, C.; Luri, X. +6 more
Context. The improvements in the precision of the published data in Gaia EDR3 with respect to Gaia DR2, particularly for parallaxes and proper motions, offer the opportunity to increase the number of known open clusters in the Milky Way by detecting farther and fainter objects that have thus far gone unnoticed.
Aims: Our aim is to continue to…
