Gaia23bab: a new EXor
(2024-05-16)
On March 6 2023, the Gaia telescope has alerted a 2-magnitude burst from Gaia23bab, a Young Stellar Object in the Galactic plane. We observed Gaia23bab with the Large Binocular Telescope obtaining optical and near-infrared ...
Modeling and Calibration of Gaia, Hipparcos, and Tycho-2 astrometric data for the detection of dark companions
(2024-03-28)
Hidden within the Gaia satellite’s multiple data releases lies a valuable cache of dark companions. To facilitate the efficient and reliable detection of these companions via combined analyses involving the Gaia, Hipparcos, ...
Multiwavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO
(2024-03-01)
During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events are valuable laboratories to investigate the outbursting ...
Predicting Cloud Conditions in Substellar Mass Objects Using Ultracool Dwarf Companions
(2024-02-29)
We present results from conducting a theoretical chemical analysis of a sample of benchmark companion brown dwarfs whose primary star is of type F, G or K. We summarize the entire known sample of these types of companion ...
Rapid Chemical Enrichment by Intermittent Star Formation in GN-z11
(2024-02-06)
We interpret the peculiar supersolar nitrogen abundance recently reported by the James Webb Space Telescope observations for GN-z11 (z = 10.6) using our state-of-the-art chemical evolution models. The observed CNO ratios ...
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 18min (GLEAM-X J1627-52) and 21min (GPM J1839-10) is highly debated. Their bright radio emission resembles that of radio magnetars, but ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mitigating Modal Noise in Multimode Circular Fibres by Optical Agitation using a Galvanometer
(2024-01-02)
Modal noise appears due to the non-uniform and unstable distribution of light intensity among the finite number of modes in multimode fibres. It is an important limiting factor in measuring radial velocity precisely by ...
