Linking stellar populations to H II regions across nearby galaxies. I. Constraining pre-supernova feedback from young clusters in NGC 1672
Boquien, M.; Chevance, M.; Dale, D. A. +32 more
Context. Stellar feedback is one of the fundamental factors regulating the evolution of galaxies. However, we still do not have access to strong observational constraints on the relative importance of the different feedback mechanisms (e.g. radiation, ionised gas pressure, stellar winds) in driving H II region evolution and molecular cloud disrupt…
The Spectroscopic Binaries from the LAMOST Medium-resolution Survey. I. Searching for Double-lined Spectroscopic Binaries with a Convolutional Neural Network
Tian, Hao; Ji, Xin; Zong, Weikai +13 more
We developed a convolutional neural network model to distinguish the double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2s) from others based on single-exposure medium-resolution spectra (R ~ 7500). The training set consists of a large set of mock spectra of single stars and binaries synthesized based on the MIST stellar evolutionary model and ATLAS9 atmosphe…
The resolved scaling relations in DustPedia: Zooming in on the local Universe
Clark, Christopher J. R.; Mosenkov, Aleksandr V.; Baes, Maarten +18 more
Aims: We perform a homogeneous analysis of an unprecedented set of spatially resolved scaling relations (SRs) between interstellar medium (ISM) components, that is to say dust, gas, and gas-phase metallicity, and other galaxy properties, such as stellar mass (Mstar), total baryonic content, and star-formation rate (SFR), in a range…
Untangling the Galaxy. IV. Empirical Constraints on Angular Momentum Evolution and Gyrochronology for Young Stars in the Field
Stassun, Keivan G.; Kounkel, Marina; Bouma, Luke G. +3 more
We present a catalog of ~100,000 periodic variable stars in Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame image data among members of widely distributed moving groups identified with Gaia in the previous papers in the series. By combining the periods from our catalog attributable to rotation with previously derived rotation periods for b…
A census of X-ray millisecond pulsars in globular clusters
Zhao, Jiaqi; Heinke, Craig O.
We present a comprehensive census of X-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in 29 Galactic globular clusters (GCs), including 68 MSPs with confirmed X-ray luminosities and 107 MSPs with X-ray upper limits. We compile previous X-ray studies of GC MSPs, and add new analyses of six MSPs (PSRs J1326-4728A, J1326-4728B, J1518+0204C, J1717+4308A, J1737-0314A,…
The complex stellar system M 22: confirming abundance variations with high precision differential measurements
Milone, A. P.; Marino, A. F.; Legnardi, M. V. +8 more
M 22 (NGC 6656) is a chemically complex globular cluster-like system reported to harbour heavy element abundance variations. However, the extent of these variations and the origin of this cluster is still debated. In this work, we investigate the chemical in-homogeneity of M 22 using differential line-by-line analysis of high-quality (R = 110 000,…
Monochromatic Globular Clusters as a Critical Test of Formation Models for the Dark Matter-deficient Galaxies NGC 1052-DF2 and NGC 1052-DF4
van Dokkum, Pieter; Romanowsky, Aaron J.; Conroy, Charlie +8 more
It was recently proposed that the dark matter-deficient ultradiffuse galaxies DF2 and DF4 in the NGC 1052 group could be the products of a "bullet dwarf" collision between two gas-rich progenitor galaxies. In this model, DF2 and DF4 formed at the same time in the immediate aftermath of the collision, and a strong prediction is that their globular …
LoTSS Jellyfish Galaxies. IV. Enhanced Star Formation on the Leading Half of Cluster Galaxies and Gas Compression in IC3949
Ellison, Sara L.; Lin, Lihwai; Pan, Hsi-An +7 more
With Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO integral field spectroscopy, we present a resolved analysis of star formation for 29 jellyfish galaxies in nearby clusters, identified from radio continuum imaging taken by the Low Frequency Array. Simulations predict enhanced star formation on the "leading half" (LH) of galaxies undergoing ram pressure strippin…
Role of Magnetic Fields in Fueling Seyfert Nuclei
Beck, Rainer; Lazarian, A.; Hu, Yue +1 more
Molecular gas is believed to be the fuel for star formation and nuclear activity in Seyfert galaxies. To explore the role of magnetic fields in funneling molecular gas into the nuclear region, measurements of the magnetic fields embedded in molecular gas are needed. By applying the new velocity gradient technique (VGT) to CO isotopolog data from t…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME). VII. Membership, Rotation, and Lithium in the Young Cluster Group-X and a New Young Exoplanet
Vanderburg, Andrew; Rampalli, Rayna; Bieryla, Allyson +36 more
The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by providing new opportunities to discover young exoplanets. A young association was recently identified by Tang et al. and Fürnkranz et al. using astrometry from Gaia (ca…
