Transport of dust across the Solar System: Constraints on the spatial origin of individual micrometeorites from cosmic-ray exposure

Reto Georg Trappitsch

The origin of micrometeorites (MMs) from asteroids and comets is well-established, but the relative contribution from these two classes remains poorly resolved. Likewise, determining the precise origin of individual MMs is an open challenge. Here, cosmic-r ...

Unraveling the Uptake of Glyoxal on a Diversity of Natural Dusts and Surrogates: Linking Dust Composition to Glyoxal Uptake and Estimation of Atmospheric Lifetimes

Michel Rossi, Hui Chen

The uptake of glyoxal (Gly) on 28 different samples with varying mineralogical origins, such as clays, mineral proxies, and natural dusts from the major arid regions of the Earth, was determined. Experiments were performed at ambient temperature inside a K ...

The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas

Michaela Hirschmann

We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 1011-12 M circle dot and SMBH masses 108.9-9.7 M circle dot at z = 0, featuring various majo ...

The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby GalaxieS

Robin Gopala Tress

The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference data set for the multiscale, multiphase study of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxies. With the successful launch and commissioning of JWST, we can now obtain high-resolu ...

Role of K-feldspar and quartz in global ice nucleation by mineral dust in mixed-phase clouds

Athanasios Nenes

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) enable ice formation, profoundly affecting the microphysical and radiative properties, lifetimes, and precipitation rates of clouds. Mineral dust emitted from arid regions, particularly potassium-containing feldspar (K-felds ...

GOGREEN: A critical assessment of environmental trends in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations at z approximate to 1

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

Recent observations have shown that the environmental quenching of galaxies at z & SIM; 1 is qualitatively different to that in the local Universe. However, the physical origin of these differences has not yet been elucidated. In addition, while low-redshi ...

Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm

Richard Irving Anderson, Shuangqing Liao, Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Spatial distribution of two diffuse interstellar bands

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are absorption features seen in optical and infrared spectra of stars and extragalactic objects that are probably caused by large and complex molecules in the galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Here we investigate the Gal ...

Near-infrared emission line diagnostics for AGN from the local Universe to z ∼ 3

Michaela Hirschmann

Optical rest-frame spectroscopic diagnostics are usually employed to distinguish between star formation and active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered emission. However, this method is biased against dusty sources, hampering a complete census of the AGN populat ...

CEERS Key Paper. VI. JWST/MIRI Uncovers a Large Population of Obscured AGN at High Redshifts

Michaela Hirschmann

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations are powerful in identifying heavily obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) that have weak emission in other wavelengths. Data from the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope provides an exce ...

Black carbon and dust in the Third Pole glaciers: revaluated concentrations, mass absorption cross-sections and contributions to glacier ablation

Julia Schmale

In snow and ice, light-absorbing particles (LAPs), such as black carbon (BC) and dust, accelerate the melting of Third Pole glaciers (TPGs). In this study, we revaluated LAP concentrations in the snow pits of TPGs (SP-TPGs), measured LAP mass absorption cr ...
