Examining the nature of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg II X-1
(2024-02-06)
We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg II X-1 using broadband and high-resolution X-ray spectra taken with the XMM-Newton satellite over a period of 19 yr, taking advantage ...
JADES: Detecting [OIII]$λ4363$ Emitters and Testing Strong Line Calibrations in the High-$z$ Universe with Ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy up to $z \sim 9.5$
(2024-02-02)
We present ten novel [OIII]λ4363 auroral line detections up to z ∼ 9.5 measured from ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). We leverage the deepest spectroscopic ...
Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey
(2024-02-01)
During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multidecade FUor-type outbursts. Here, we present a near-infrared ...
Inside the bubble: exploring the environments of reionisation-era Lyman-α emitting galaxies with JADES and FRESCO⋆
(2024-02-01)
We present a study of the environments of 17 Lyman-α emitting galaxies (LAEs) in the reionisation-era (5.8 < z < 8) identified by JWST/NIRSpec as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). Unless situated ...
On the incidence of episodic accretion in Class I YSOs from VVV
(2024-02-01)
Episodic accretion is one of the competing models to explain the observed luminosity spread in young stellar clusters. These short-lived high accretion events could also have a strong impact on planet formation. Observations ...
The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
(2024-02-01)
We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) data base of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with ΔKs ≥ 4 mag, aiming to provide a large sample of high amplitude eruptive young ...
Long-period Radio Pulsars: Population Study in the Neutron Star and White Dwarf Rotating Dipole Scenarios
(2024-02-01)
The nature of two recently discovered radio emitters with unusually long periods of 18 minutes (GLEAM-X J1627-52) and 21 minutes (GPM J1839-10) is highly debated. Their bright radio emission resembles that of radio magnetars, ...
The formation of cores in galaxies across cosmic time - the existence of cores is not in tension with the ΛCDM paradigm
(2024-02-01)
The 'core-cusp' problem is considered a key challenge to the ΛCDM paradigm. Haloes in dark matter only simulations exhibit 'cuspy' profiles, where density continuously increases towards the centre. However, the dark matter ...
Exploring the radio-loudness of SDSS quasars with spectral stacking
(2024-01-22)
We use new 144 MHz observations over 5634 deg 2 from the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) to compile the largest sample of uniformly selected, spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the 14th data ...
JADES: Resolving the Stellar Component and Filamentary Overdense Environment of Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-dark Submillimeter Galaxy HDF850.1 at z = 5.18
(2024-01-20)
HDF850.1 is the brightest submillimeter galaxy (SMG) in the Hubble Deep Field. It is known as a heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxy embedded in an overdense environment at z = 5.18. With nine-band NIRCam images at ...
