TOI-5375 B: A Very Low Mass Star at the Hydrogen-burning Limit Orbiting an Early M-type Star
Kobulnicky, Henry A.; Cochran, William D.; Mahadevan, Suvrath +16 more
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission detected a companion orbiting TIC 71268730, categorized it as a planet candidate, and designated the system TOI-5375. Our follow-up analysis using radial-velocity data from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder, photometric data from Red Buttes Observatory, and speckle imaging with NN-EXPLORE Exo…
The contribution of faint Lyman-α emitters to extended Lyman-α halos constrained by MUSE clustering measurements
Krumpe, M.; Wisotzki, L.; Miyaji, T. +3 more
Recent detections of extended Lyman-α halos around Lyα emitters (LAEs) have been reported on a regular basis, but their origin is still under investigation. Simulation studies predict that the outer regions of the extended halos contain a major contribution from the Lyα emission of faint, individually undetected LAEs. To address this matter from a…
Extreme mass ratios and fast rotation in three massive binaries
Nazé, Yaël; Labadie-Bartz, Jonathan; Rauw, Gregor +2 more
The origin of rapid rotation in massive stars remains debated, although binary interactions are now often advocated as a cause. However, the broad and shallow lines in the spectra of fast rotators make direct detection of binarity difficult. In this paper, we report on the discovery and analysis of multiplicity for three fast-rotating massive star…
Tropospheric Delay Calibration System Performance During the First Two BepiColombo Solar Conjunctions
Cappuccio, Paolo; Iess, Luciano; Tortora, Paolo +8 more
Media propagation delay and delay-rate induced by the water vapor within the Earth's troposphere represent one of the main error sources for radiometric measurements in deep space. In preparation for the BepiColombo and JUICE missions, the European Space Agency has installed and operates the prototype of a tropospheric delay calibration system (TD…
A Tectonic Origin for the Largest Marsquake Observed by InSight
Wilson, Colin; Lucas, Antoine; Tirsch, Daniela +23 more
The S1222a marsquake detected by InSight on 4 May 2022 was the largest of the mission, at MwMa 4.7. Given its resemblance to two other large seismic events (S1000a and S1094b), which were associated with the formation of fresh craters, we undertook a search for a fresh crater associated with S1222a. Such a crater would be exp…
First observational evidence of a relation between globular clusters' internal rotation and stellar masses
Bedin, L. R.; Vesperini, E.; Bellini, A. +3 more
Several observational studies have shown that many Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are characterized by internal rotation. Theoretical studies of the dynamical evolution of rotating clusters have predicted that, during their long-term evolution, these stellar systems should develop a dependence of the rotational velocity around the cluster's cent…
Toward a Live Homogeneous Database of Solar Active Regions Based on SOHO/MDI and SDO/HMI Synoptic Magnetograms. I. Automatic Detection and Calibration
Wang, Ruihui; Jiang, Jie; Luo, Yukun
Recent studies indicate that a small number of rogue solar active regions (ARs) may have a significant impact on the end-of-cycle polar field and the long-term behavior of solar activity. The impact of individual ARs can be qualified based on their magnetic field distribution. This motivates us to build a live homogeneous AR database in a series o…
Efficient kinetic Lattice Boltzmann simulation of three-dimensional Hall-MHD turbulence
Telloni, Daniele; Marino, Raffaele; Foldes, Raffaello +4 more
Simulating plasmas in the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics (Hall-MHD) regime represents a valuable approach for the investigation of complex nonlinear dynamics developing in astrophysical frameworks and fusion machines. The Hall electric field is computationally very challenging as it involves the integration of an additional term, proportional to \nabla…
NY Bootes: An Active Deep and Low-mass-ratio Contact Binary with a Cool Companion in a Hierarchical Triple System
Meng, Fangbin; Zhu, Liying; Qian, Shengbang +3 more
The first detailed photometric and spectroscopic study of G-type short-period binary NY Boo is presented. The radial velocity curve was obtained by the cross-correlation function (CCF) method based on LAMOST and SDSS spectra, which derived its mass ratio as q = 0.139(1/7.2). The CCF profiles of the SDSS spectra clearly show the existence of a cool…
XMM-Newton Detection of X-Ray Emission from the Metal-polluted White Dwarf G 29-38
Chu, Y. -H.; Estrada-Dorado, S.; Guerrero, M. A. +3 more
A recent analysis of Chandra X-ray data of the metal-polluted white dwarf G 29-38 has revealed X-ray emission that can be attributed to the accretion of debris from a planetary body. In the light of this detection we revisit here archival XMM-Newton observations of G 29-38 from which only an upper limit was derived in the past due to the presence …
