Plasmoids, Flows, and Jets during Magnetic Reconnection in a Failed Solar Eruption
Antiochos, Spiro K.; Kumar, Pankaj; Cho, Kyung-Suk +3 more
We report a detailed analysis of a failed eruption and flare in active region 12018 on 2014 April 3 using multiwavelength observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, IRIS, STEREO, and Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope. At least four jets were observed to emanate from the cusp of this small active region (large brigh…
Revisiting the atmosphere of the exoplanet 51 Eridani b with VLT/SPHERE
Rouan, D.; Henning, Th.; Brandner, W. +27 more
Aims: We aim to better constrain the atmospheric properties of the directly imaged exoplanet 51 Eri b using a retrieval approach with data of higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) than previously reported. In this context, we also compare the results from an atmospheric retrieval to using a self-consistent model to fit atmospheric parameters.
Extension of HOPS out to 500 pc (eHOPS). I. Identification and Modeling of Protostars in the Aquila Molecular Clouds
Manoj, P.; Narang, Mayank; Gutermuth, Robert A. +14 more
We present a Spitzer/Herschel focused survey of the Aquila molecular clouds (d ~ 436 pc) as part of the eHOPS (extension of the Herschel orion protostar survey, or HOPS, Out to 500 ParSecs) census of nearby protostars. For every source detected in the Herschel/PACS bands, the eHOPS-Aquila catalog contains 1-850 µm SEDs assembled from the Two…
AGNs in post-mergers from the ultraviolet near infrared optical northern survey
Ellison, Sara L.; Bickley, Robert W.; Patton, David R. +1 more
The kinematic disturbances associated with major galaxy mergers are known to produce gas inflows, which in turn may trigger accretion onto the supermassive black holes (SMBH) of the participant galaxies. While this effect has been studied in galaxy pairs, the frequency of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in fully coalesced post-merger systems is poor…
The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey: Empirical Characterization of Turbulence in the Cool Circumgalactic Medium
Faucher-Giguère, Claude-André; Johnson, Sean D.; Zahedy, Fakhri S. +11 more
This paper reports the first measurement of the relationship between turbulent velocity and cloud size in the diffuse circumgalactic medium (CGM) in typical galaxy halos at redshift z ≈ 0.4-1. Through spectrally resolved absorption profiles of a suite of ionic transitions paired with careful ionization analyses of individual components, cool clump…
Measuring the Dust Masses of Protoplanetary Disks in Lupus with ALMA: Evidence That Disks Can Be Optically Thick at 3 mm
Ribas, Á.; Macías, E.; Espaillat, C. C. +2 more
Accurate disk mass measurements are necessary to constrain disk evolution and the timescale of planet formation, but such measurements are difficult to make and are very dependent on assumptions. Here, we look at the assumption that the disk is optically thin at radio wavelengths and the effect of this assumption on measurements of disk dust mass.…
Bright extragalactic ALMA redshift survey (BEARS) III: detailed study of emission lines from 71 Herschel targets
Berta, S.; Ivison, R. J.; Omont, A. +55 more
We analyse the molecular and atomic emission lines of 71 bright Herschel-selected galaxies between redshifts 1.4 and 4.6 detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. These lines include a total of 156 CO, [C I], and H2O emission lines. For 46 galaxies, we detect two transitions of CO lines, and for these galaxies we fin…
Hunting for C-rich long-period variable stars in the Milky Way's bar-bulge using unsupervised classification of Gaia BP/RP spectra
Matsunaga, Noriyuki; Sanders, Jason L.
The separation of oxygen- and carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch sources is crucial for their accurate use as local and cosmological distance and age/metallicity indicators. We investigate the use of unsupervised learning algorithms for classifying the chemistry of long-period variables from Gaia DR3's BP/RP spectra. Even in the presence of signi…
First Evidence of Multi-iron Subpopulations in the Bulge Fossil Fragment Candidate Liller 1
Cadelano, Mario; Pallanca, Cristina; Dalessandro, Emanuele +9 more
In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of the so-called Bulge Fossil Fragments (the fossil remnants of the bulge formation epoch), here we present the first determination of the metallicity distribution of Liller 1. For a sample of 64 individual member stars we used ESO-MUSE spectra to measure the equivalent width of th…
Multiple injections of energetic electrons associated with the flare and CME event on 9 October 2021
Vainio, R.; Wiegelmann, T.; Krupar, V. +12 more
Context. We study the solar energetic particle (SEP) event observed on 9 October 2021 by multiple spacecraft, including Solar Orbiter. The event was associated with an M1.6 flare, a coronal mass ejection, and a shock wave. During the event, high-energy protons and electrons were recorded by multiple instruments located within a narrow longitudinal…
