MCXC-II: Second release of the Meta-Catalogue of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449427 Bibcode: 2024A&A...688A.187S

We present the second release of the Meta-catalogue of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies (hereafter MCXC-II). MCXC-II has been compiled from publicly available ROSAT All Sky Survey-based (NORAS, REFLEX, BCS, SGP, NEP, MACS, CIZA, and RXGCC) and serendipitous (160SD, 400SD, SHARC, WARPS, and EMSS) X-ray cluster catalogues. Redshifts were systemat…

JWST/NIRCam 4–5 µm Imaging of the Giant Planet AF Lep b
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad736a Bibcode: 2024ApJ...974L..11F

Salama, Maïssa; Perrin, Marshall D.; Pueyo, Laurent +23 more

With a dynamical mass of 3 M Jup, the recently discovered giant planet AF Lep b is the lowest-mass imaged planet with a direct mass measurement. Its youth and spectral type near the L/T transition make it a promising target to study the impact of clouds and atmospheric chemistry at low surface gravities. In this work, we present JWST/NI…

Information content of JWST spectra of WASP-39b
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348802 Bibcode: 2024A&A...687A.110L

Heng, Kevin; Fisher, Chloe; Lueber, Anna +1 more

Context. The era of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) transmission spectroscopy of exoplanetary atmospheres commenced with the study of the Saturn-mass gas giant WASP-39b as part of the Early Release Science (ERS) program. WASP-39b was observed using several different JWST instrument modes (NIRCam,, NIRISS, NIRSpec G395H and NIRSpec PRISM) and the…

Unveiling MOA-2007-BLG-192: An M Dwarf Hosting a Likely Super-Earth
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad5444 Bibcode: 2024AJ....168...72T

Lu, Jessica R.; Anderson, Jay; Cole, Andrew A. +15 more

We present an analysis of high-angular-resolution images of the microlensing target MOA-2007-BLG-192 using Keck adaptive optics and the Hubble Space Telescope. The planetary host star is robustly detected as it separates from the background source star in nearly all of the Keck and Hubble data. The amplitude and direction of the lens–source separa…

JOYS+: The link between the ice and gas of complex organic molecules: Comparing JWST and ALMA data of two low-mass protostars
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202450706 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.205C

Güdel, M.; Chen, Y.; Henning, Th. +16 more

Context. A rich inventory of complex organic molecules (COMs) has been observed in high abundances in the gas phase toward Class 0 protostars. It has been suggested that these molecules are formed in ices and sublimate in the warm inner envelope close to the protostar. However, only the most abundant COM, methanol (CH3OH), had been firm…

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS): X. Probing the early chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy with carbon abundances
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202451258 Bibcode: 2024A&A...690A.333S

Sestito, Federico; Navarro, Julio F.; Martin, Nicolas F. +6 more

We aim to constrain the chemo-dynamical properties of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy using carbon abundances. At low metal- licities in particular, these properties reveal the early chemical evolution of a system, tracing the contributing supernovae (SNe) and how much of their ejecta eventually made it into the next stellar generation. Our sam…

Identification of the optical emission detected by Gaia with radio structures in parsec-scale active galactic nucleus jets
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202347210 Bibcode: 2024A&A...684A.202L

Lambert, S.; Sol, H.; Pierron, A.


Aims: We investigated the location of the optical emission with respect to the parsec-scale radio structure and attempted to identify whether the optical centroid is coincident with the radio core or a radio component of the jet.
Methods: We used optical Gaia DR3 and 8 GHz ICRF3 positions and a model fitting of 15 GHz imaging by the MOJA…

Insight into the Formation of β Pic b through the Composition of Its Parent Protoplanetary Disk as Revealed by the β Pic Moving Group Member HD 181327
DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/ad0f93 Bibcode: 2024AJ....167...45R

Sing, David K.; Lothringer, Joshua D.; Pueyo, Laurent +5 more

It has been suggested that β Pic b has a supersolar metallicity and subsolar C/O ratio. Assuming solar carbon and oxygen abundances for the star β Pic and therefore the planet's parent protoplanetary disk, β Pic b's C/O ratio suggests that it formed via core accretion between its parent protoplanetary disk's H2O and CO2 ice l…

Euclid preparation: XLIII. Measuring detailed galaxy morphologies for Euclid with machine learning
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202449609 Bibcode: 2024A&A...689A.274E

Altieri, B.; Cimatti, A.; Aghanim, N. +256 more

The Euclid mission is expected to image millions of galaxies at high resolution, providing an extensive dataset with which to study galaxy evolution. Because galaxy morphology is both a fundamental parameter and one that is hard to determine for large samples, we investigate the application of deep learning in predicting the detailed morphologies …

Localising pulsations in the hard X-ray and microwave emission of an X-class flare
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202348652 Bibcode: 2024A&A...684A.215C

Krucker, Säm; Polito, Vanessa; Yu, Sijie +5 more


Aims: The aim of this work is to identify the mechanism driving pulsations in hard X-ray (HXR) and microwave emission during solar flares. Using combined HXR and microwave observations from Solar Orbiter/STIX and EOVSA, we investigate an X1.3 GOES class flare, 2022-03-30T17:21:00, which displays pulsations on timescales evolving from ∼7 s in …
