MOSEL Survey: JWST Reveals Major Mergers/strong Interactions Drive the Extreme Emission Lines in the Early Universe

Michaela Hirschmann

Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs), where nebular emissions contribute 30%-40% of the flux in certain photometric bands, are ubiquitous in the early Universe (z > 6). We utilize deep NIRCam imaging from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADE ...

To grow old and peculiar: Survey of anomalous variable stars in M80 with age determinations using K2 and Gaia

Henryka Ewa Netzel

The globular cluster Messier 80 was monitored by the Kepler space telescope for 80 days during the K2 mission. Continuous, high-precision photometry of such an old, compact cluster allows us for studies of its variable star population in unprecedented deta ...

The eta Aquilae System: Radial Velocities and Astrometry in Search of eta Aql B

Richard Irving Anderson

The classical Cepheid eta Aql was not included in past Leavitt Law work because of a presumed complicating orbit due to a known B9.8V companion. To determine the orbit of eta Aql B, we analyze a significant number of radial velocity (RV) measurements from ...

Extended main sequence turnoffs in open clusters as seen by Gaia - II. The enigma of NGC 2509

Carmela Lardo

We investigate the morphology of the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the open cluster NGC 2509 in comparison with other Galactic open clusters of similar age using Gaia photometry. At similar to 900 Myr Galactic open clusters in our sample all show an ex ...

Evaluating the effect of stellar multiplicity on the point spread function of space-based weak lensing surveys

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

The next generation of space-based telescopes used for weak lensing surveys will require exquisite point spread function (PSF) determination. Previously negligible effects may become important in the reconstruction of the PSF, in part because of the improv ...

Physical properties and evolutionary state of the Lyman alpha emitting starburst galaxy IRAS 08339+6517

Hakim Atek

Context. Though Ly alpha emission is one of the most used tracers of massive star formation at high redshift, it is strongly affected by neutral gas radiation transfer effects. A correct understanding of these effects is required to properly quantify the s ...

Spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha envelopes around z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

What are the frequency, shape, kinematics, and luminosity of Ly alpha envelopes surrounding radio-quiet quasars at high redshift, and is the luminosity of these envelopes related to that of the quasar or not? As a first step towards answering these questio ...
