Aims: We analyze the complete chain of effects - from the Sun to Earth - caused by a solar eruptive event in order to better understand the dynamic evolution of magnetic-field-related quantities in interplanetary space, in particular that of magnetic flux and helicity.
Methods: We study a series of connected events - a confined C4.5 flar…

The Influence of the Bar on the Dynamics of Globular Clusters in the Central Region of the Milky Way. Frequency Analysis of Orbits According to Gaia EDR3 Data
DOI: 10.1134/S199034132360028X Bibcode: 2023AstBu..78..499B

Bobylev, V. V.; Bajkova, A. T.; Smirnov, A. A.

This work is devoted to studying the influence of the bar on the orbital dynamics of globular clusters. The orbits of 45 globular clusters in the central galactic region with a radius of 3.5 kpc were analyzed using spectral dynamics methods in order to identify objects captured by the bar. To form the 6D phase space required for orbit integration,…

Discovery and physical characterization as the first response to a potential asteroid collision: The case of 2023 DZ2
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346751 Bibcode: 2023A&A...676A.126P

Licandro, J.; Alarcon, M. R.; Hudin, L. +15 more

Context. Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that may evolve into impactors deserve detailed threat assessment studies. Early physical characterization of a would-be impactor may help in optimizing impact mitigation plans. We first detected NEA 2023 DZ2 on 27 February 2023. After that, it was found to have a minimum orbit intersection distance …

The SkyMapper search for extremely metal-poor stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1960 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.524..577O

Da Costa, G. S.; Mackey, A. D.; Nordlander, T. +2 more

We present results of a search for extremely metal-poor stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which can provide crucial information about the properties of the first stars as well as on the formation conditions prevalent during the earliest stages of star formation in dwarf galaxies. Our search utilized SkyMapper photometry, together with par…

Resolved Kennicutt-Schmidt law in two strongly lensed star-forming galaxies at redshift 1
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202346951 Bibcode: 2023A&A...678A.183N

Richard, Johan; Sun, Jiayi; Combes, Françoise +4 more

We study the star formation rate (SFR) vs. molecular gas mass (Mmol) scaling relation from hundreds to thousands of parsec in two strongly lensed galaxies at redshift z ∼ 1, the Cosmic Snake and A521. We trace the SFR using extinction-corrected rest-frame UV observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Mmol using d…

Galaxy populations in the most distant SPT-SZ clusters. II. Galaxy structural properties in massive clusters at 1.4 ≲ z ≲ 1.7
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245268 Bibcode: 2023A&A...669A.131S

Bayliss, M. B.; Sharon, K.; Pannella, M. +12 more

We investigate structural properties of massive galaxy populations in the central regions (< 0.7 r500) of five very massive (M200 > 4 × 1014 M), high-redshift (1.4 ≲ z ≲ 1.7) galaxy clusters from the 2500 deg2 South Pole Telescope Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (SPT-SZ) survey. We probe the …

A Herschel study of the high-mass protostar IRAS 20126+4104
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245175 Bibcode: 2023A&A...671A.126C

Testi, L.; Molinari, S.; Lorenzani, A. +3 more

We performed Herschel observations of the continuum and line emission from the high-mass star-forming region IRAS 20126+4104, which hosts a well-studied B-type (proto)star powering a bipolar outflow and is associated with a Keplerian circumstellar disk. The continuum images at six wavelengths allowed us to derive an accurate estimate of the bolome…

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence aims to find evidence of technosignatures, which can point toward the possible existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial life. Radio signals similar to those engineered on Earth may be transmitted by other civilizations, motivating technosignature searches across the entire radio spectrum. …

A multi-wavelength view of the multiple activity cycles of ϵ Eridani
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245201 Bibcode: 2023A&A...672A.149F

Czesla, S.; Schneider, P. C.; Stelzer, B. +3 more

ϵ Eridani is a highly active young K2 star with an activity cycle of about 3 yr established using Ca II H& K line index measurements (SMWO). This relatively short cycle has been demonstrated to be consistent with X-ray and magnetic flux measurements. Recent work suggested a change in the cyclic behaviour. Here, we report new X-ray f…

Extinction towards the cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. An extinction law from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202245536 Bibcode: 2023A&A...673A.132B

Kaper, Lex; Brands, Sarah A.; Crowther, Paul A. +4 more

Context. The cluster R136 in the giant star-forming region 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offers a unique opportunity to resolve a stellar population in a starburst-like environment. Knowledge of the extinction towards this region is key for the accurate determination of stellar masses, and for the correct interpretation of observa…
