Cool Jupiters greatly outnumber their toasty siblings : Occurrence rates from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search
(2020-02-01)
Our understanding of planetary systems different to our own has grown dramatically in the past 30 yr. However, our efforts to ascertain the degree to which the Solar system is abnormal or unique have been hindered by the ...
Short and long term near-infrared spectroscopic variability of eruptive protostars from VVV
(2020-02-01)
Numerous eruptive variable young stellar objects (YSOs), mostly Class I systems, were recently detected by the near-infrared Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. We present an exploratory near-infrared spectroscopic ...
Revived Fossil Plasma Sources in Galaxy Clusters
(2020-01-28)
It is well established that particle acceleration by shocks and turbulence in the intra-cluster medium can produce cluster-scale synchrotron emitting sources. However, the detailed physics of these particle acceleration ...
Search for Nearby Earth Analogs. II. detection of five new planets, eight planet candidates, and confirmation of three planets around nine nearby M dwarfs
(2020-01-08)
Zechmeister et al. surveyed 38 nearby M dwarfs from 2000 to 2007 March with VLT2 and the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) spectrometer. These data have recently been reanalyzed, yielding a significant ...
Unveiling the cause of hybrid morphology radio sources (HyMoRS)
(2020-01-01)
Hybrid morphology radio sources (HyMoRS) are a rare group of radio galaxies in which differing Fanaroff & Riley morphologies (FR I/II) are observed for each of the two lobes. While they potentially provide insights into ...
Massive spheroids can form in single minor mergers
(2019-11-01)
Understanding how rotationally supported discs transform into dispersion-dominated spheroids is central to our comprehension of galaxy evolution. Morphological transformation is largely merger-driven. While major mergers ...
JINGLE V : Dust properties of nearby galaxies derived from hierarchical Bayesian SED fitting
(2019-11-01)
We study the dust properties of 192 nearby galaxies from the JINGLE survey using photometric data in the 22-850 μm range. We derive the total dust mass, temperature T, and emissivity index β of the galaxies through the ...
Homogeneously derived transit timings for 17 exoplanets and reassessed TTV trends for WASP-12 and WASP-4
(2019-11)
We homogeneously analyse ∼3.2 × 10 5 photometric measurements for ∼1100 transit light curves belonging to 17 exoplanet hosts. The photometric data cover 16 years (2004–2019) and include amateur and professional observations. ...
Uncertainties in νp-process nucleosynthesis from Monte Carlo variation of reaction rates
(2019-10)
It has been suggested that a νp-process can occur when hot, dense, and proton-rich matter is expanding within a strong flux of antineutrinos. In such an environment, proton-rich nuclides can be produced in sequences of ...
AGN in dwarf galaxies: frequency, triggering processes and the plausibility of AGN feedback
(2019-10-01)
While active galactic nuclei (AGN) are considered to be key drivers of the evolution of massive galaxies, their potentially significant role in the dwarf-galaxy regime (M ∗ < 10 9 M ⊙) remains largely unexplored. We combine ...
