Detecting New Visual Binaries in Gaia DR3 with Gaia and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Photometry. I. New Candidate Binaries within 200 pc of the Sun
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/acffb0 Bibcode: 2023AJ....166..218M

Lépine, Sébastien; Medan, Ilija

We present a method to identify likely visual binaries in Gaia eDR3 that does not rely on parallax or proper motion. This method utilizes the various point-spread function sizes of Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)/Gaia, where at <2.″5 two stars may be unresolved in 2MASS but resolved by Gaia. Due to this, if close neighbors listed in Gaia are …

A systematic survey of millimetre-wavelength flaring variability of young stellar objects in the Orion Nebula Cluster
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad926 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.522...56V

Menten, K. M.; Güdel, M.; Hacar, A. +3 more

High-energy processes are ubiquitous even in the earliest stages of protostellar evolution. Motivated by the results of our systematic search for intense centimetre radio flares in Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) and by rare findings of strong millimetre-wavelength variability, we have conducted a systematic search for such variability in the Orion N…

The LSST AGN Data Challenge: Selection Methods
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ace31a Bibcode: 2023ApJ...953..138S

Ni, Qingling; Paolillo, Maurizio; Richards, Gordon T. +12 more

Development of the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) includes a series of Data Challenges (DCs) arranged by various LSST Scientific Collaborations that are taking place during the project's preoperational phase. The AGN Science Collaboration Data Challenge (AGNSC-DC) is a partial prototype of the expected LSST data on active…

A Comprehensive Perturbative Formalism for Phase Mixing in Perturbed Disks. II. Phase Spirals in an Inhomogeneous Disk Galaxy with a Nonresponsive Dark Matter Halo
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acd641 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...952...65B

van den Bosch, Frank C.; Banik, Uddipan; Weinberg, Martin D.

We develop a linear perturbative formalism to compute the response of an inhomogeneous stellar disk embedded in a nonresponsive dark matter (DM) halo to various perturbations like bars, spiral arms, and encounters with satellite galaxies. Without self-gravity to reinforce it, the response of a Fourier mode phase mixes away due to an intrinsic spre…

Formation of the Mg II h and k Polarization Profiles in a Solar Plage Model and Their Suitability to Infer Magnetic Fields
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca669 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942...60A

Afonso Delgado, David; del Pino Alemán, Tanausú; Trujillo Bueno, Javier

The Mg II h and k lines are among the strongest in the near-ultraviolet solar spectrum and their line core originates in the upper chromosphere, just below the transition region. Consequently, they have become one of the main targets for investigating the magnetism of the upper solar atmosphere. The recent Chromospheric Layer Spectropolarimeter (C…

Binary masses and luminosities with Gaia DR3
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347111 Bibcode: 2023A&A...678A..19C

Arenou, F.; Babusiaux, C.; Merle, T. +1 more

Context. The recent third data release (DR3) of Gaia has brought some new exciting data about stellar binaries. It provides new opportunities to fully characterize more stellar systems and contributes to enriching our global knowledge of stellar behaviour.
Aims: By combining the new Gaia non-single stars catalogue with double-lined spectrosco…

The Ly α, C IV, and He II nebulae around J1000+0234: a galaxy pair at the centre of a galaxy overdensity at z = 4.5
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad594 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.521.2326J

Magnelli, B.; Smolčić, V.; Gómez-Guijarro, C. +7 more

Ly α λ1216 (Ly α) emission extending over $\gtrsim \, \rm 10\, kilo\,parsec\, (kpc)$ around dusty, massive starbursts at z ≳ 3 might represent a short-lived phase in the evolution of present-day, massive quiescent galaxies. To obtain empirical constraints on this emerging scenario, we present Ly α, C IVλ1550 (C IV), and He II λ1640 (He II) observa…

Peekaboo: the extremely metal poor dwarf galaxy HIPASS J1131-31
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3284 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.518.5893K

Koribalski, B. S.; Karachentsev, I. D.; Anand, G. S. +3 more

The dwarf irregular galaxy HIPASS J1131-31 was discovered as a source of HI emission at low redshift in such close proximity of a bright star that we call it Peekaboo. The galaxy resolves into stars in images with Hubble Space Telescope, leading to a distance estimate of 6.8 ± 0.7 Mpc. Spectral optical observations with the Southern African Large …

The GAPS programme at TNG. XLVI. Deep search for low-mass planets in late-dwarf systems hosting cold Jupiters
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346476 Bibcode: 2023A&A...677A.122P

Pagano, I.; Poretti, E.; Rainer, M. +30 more

Context. With the growth of comparative exoplanetology, it is increasingly clear that the relationship between inner and outer planets plays a key role in unveiling the mechanisms governing formation and evolution models. For this reason, it is important to probe the inner region of systems hosting long-period giants in search of undetected lower …

Search for planets around stars with wide brown dwarfs
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244238 Bibcode: 2023A&A...671A..10S

Béjar, V. J. S.; Zapatero Osorio, M. R.; Grundahl, F. +6 more


Aims: This work aims to better understand the role of wide brown dwarf companions in planetary systems.
Methods: We obtained high-resolution spectra of six bright stars with co-moving wide substellar companions with the high-resolution SONG, CARMENES, and STELLA spectrographs. We used these spectra to derive radial velocities together wi…
