Are the Heliosphere, Very Local Interstellar Medium, and Local Cavity in Pressure Balance with Galactic Gravity?
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/aca676 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942...45L

Linsky, Jeffrey L.; Moebius, Eberhard

The Voyager spacecraft are providing the first in situ measurements of physical properties in the outer heliosphere beyond the heliopause. These data, together with data from the IBEX and Hubble Space Telescope and physical models consistent with these data, now provide critical measurements of pressures in the heliosphere and surrounding interste…

The Swift Deep Galactic Plane Survey (DGPS) Phase I Catalog
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/ad0228 Bibcode: 2023ApJS..269...49O

Mukai, K.; Troja, E.; Cenko, S. B. +30 more

The Swift Deep Galactic Plane Survey (DGPS) is a Swift Key Project consisting of 380 tiled pointings covering ~40 deg2 of the Galactic plane between longitude 10 < ∣l∣ < 30 deg and latitude ∣b∣ < 0.5 deg. Each pointing has a 5 ks exposure, yielding a total of 1.9 Ms spread across the entire survey footprint. Phase I observation…

Candidates for Transiting Planets in OGLE-IV Galactic Bulge Fields
DOI: 10.32023/0001-5237/73.2.2 Bibcode: 2023AcA....73..127M

Soszyński, I.; Udalski, A.; Szymański, M. K. +13 more

We present results of a search for transiting exoplanets in 10-yr long photometry with thousands of epochs taken in the direction of the Galactic bulge. This photometry was collected in the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-IV). Our search covered ≈222 000 stars brighter than I=15.5 mag. Selected transits were veri…

Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227. IV. Origin of the obscuring cloud variability
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243681 Bibcode: 2023A&A...673A..26G

Context. Obscuration events in type I active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been detected more frequently in recent years. The strong flux decrease in the soft X-ray band between observations has been caused by clouds with large column densities transiting our line of sight (LOS) and covering the central AGN. Another event has been captured in NGC 322…

Modeling the Spectral Energy Distribution of the Active Galactic Nucleus inside NGC 4395
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acebe5 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...955...78C

Greene, Jenny E.; Goulding, Andy D.; Cruz, Hector Afonso G.

We study the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) of the prototypical low-mass active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 4395. We jointly model the optical through mid-IR SED with a combination of galaxy and AGN light, and find that on arcsecond scales the AGN dominates at most wavelengths. However, there is still some ambiguity about emission …

Surveying Flux Density in Galaxies with Apparent Large Black Holes at Millimeter/Submillimeter Wavelengths
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acc855 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...950...10L

Matsushita, Satoki; Bower, Geoffrey C.; Nakamura, Masanori +5 more

We present millimeter and submillimeter continuum observations for 36 sources with potentially large black hole shadows at 230 and 345 GHz using the Submillimeter Array. The sources are selected based on the criterion of the large diameter of the black hole shadows. Our motivation is to explore the nature of the accretion flow of the potential can…

Search for Planets in Hot Jupiter Systems with Multi-Sector TESS Photometry. IV. Null Detections in 12 Systems
DOI: 10.32023/0001-5237/73.2.3 Bibcode: 2023AcA....73..159M

Maciejewski, G.; Golonka, J.; Sierzputowska, J.

We present the results of our search for nearby planetary companions of transiting hot Jupiters in 12 planetary systems: HAT-P-24, HAT-P-39, HAT-P-42, HAT-P-50, KELT-2, KELT-15, KELT-17, WASP-23, WASP-63, WASP-76, WASP-79, and WASP-161. Our analysis was based on multi-sector time-series photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and…

Numerical Simulation on the Leading Edge of Coronal Mass Ejection in the Near-Sun Region
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acf8c5 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...958...15M

Ye, Jing; Li, Yan; Mei, Zhixing +3 more

The coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed by white-light coronagraphs, such as the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) C2/C3, commonly exhibit the three-part structure, with the bright leading edge as the outermost part. In this work, we extend previous work on the leading edge by performing a large-scale 3D magnetohydrodynamic nume…

Constraints on thermal conductivity in the merging cluster Abell 2146
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad3101 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.526.6205R

Fabian, A. C.; Reynolds, C. S.; Hlavacek-Larrondo, J. +9 more

The cluster of galaxies Abell 2146 is undergoing a major merger and is an ideal cluster to study intracluster medium (ICM) physics, as it has a simple geometry with the merger axis in the plane of the sky, its distance allows us to resolve features across the relevant scales and its temperature lies within Chandra's sensitivity. Gas from the cool …

Subglacial catastrophic-flood origin of linear and curvilinear flat-rimmed pit chains on Mars: Evidence from geomorphological mapping and detailed landsystem analysis
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2023.115439 Bibcode: 2023Icar..39515439K

Yin, An; Kakaria, Reva

Flat-rimmed pits lacking emanating flow-like features on pit margins are typically clustered as linear or curvilinear chains on Mars. Their formation has been attributed to faulting, volcanism, or roof collapse of subsurface voids. Here we test these end-member models by conducting landform analysis and systematic geomorphological mapping in the c…
