Barium lines in high-quality spectra of two metal-poor giants in the Galactic halo
(2021-10-01)
Context. Theoretical results showed the possibility that neutron capture elements were produced in the early Universe by two different sources: a frequent s-process source hosted by rotating massive stars, and a rare ...
The Fornax3D project: Planetary nebulae catalogue and independent distance measurements to Fornax cluster galaxies
(2021-09-29)
Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) offer a way to determine the distance to their host galaxies thanks to the nearly universal shape of the planetary nebulae luminosity function (PNLF). Accurate PNe distance measurements ...
Herschel Photometric Observations of LITTLE THINGS Dwarf Galaxies
(2021-08-02)
We present here far-infrared photometry of galaxies in a sample that is relatively unexplored at these wavelengths: low-metallicity dwarf galaxies with moderate star formation rates. Four dwarf irregular galaxies from the ...
Introducing the NewHorizon simulation : Galaxy properties with resolved internal dynamics across cosmic time
(2021-07-28)
Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations are increasing their level of realism by considering more physical processes and having greater resolution or larger statistics. However, usually either the statistical power of such ...
The MAGPI Survey -- science goals, design, observing strategy, early results and theoretical framework
(2021-07-26)
We present an overview of the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey, a Large Program on ESO/VLT. MAGPI is designed to study the physical drivers of galaxy transformation at a lookback ...
Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters. II. NGC6441, NGC6569, NGC6626 (M28), NGC6656 (M22), 2MASS-GC02, and Terzan10
(2021-07-12)
Context. The Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) located in the inner regions of the Milky Way suffer from high extinction that makes their observation challenging. High densities of field stars in their surroundings complicate ...
R-Process elements from magnetorotational hypernovae
(2021-07-08)
Neutron-star mergers were recently confirmed as sites of rapid-neutron-capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis 1–3. However, in Galactic chemical evolution models, neutron-star mergers alone cannot reproduce the observed element ...
The eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS). LOFAR view of brightest cluster galaxies and AGN feedback
(2021-07-06)
Context. During the performance verification phase of the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) eROSITA telescope, the eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS) was carried out. It covers a 140 deg2 field located at 126◦ < ...
Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227. I. Continuum model for the broadband spectral energy distribution
(2021-06-28)
From Swift monitoring of a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) we found a transient X-ray obscuration event in Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 3227, and thus triggered our joint XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ...
Constraining AGN duty cycle in the cool-core cluster MS 0735.6+7421 with LOFAR data
(2021-06-25)
MS 0735.6+7421 is a galaxy cluster which hosts a central radio galaxy with a very steep spectrum, produced by one of the most powerful known jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN). The radio plasma, ejected at nearly light ...
