CLASSY. VIII. Exploring the Source of Ionization with UV Interstellar Medium Diagnostics in Local High-z Analogs

Adèle Marie Françoise Plat

In the current JWST era, rest-frame UV spectra play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM) and stellar properties of the first galaxies in the epoch of reionization (z > 6). Here, we compare well-known and reliable o ...

Standardized Luminosity of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Utilizing Multiple Fields in NGC 4258 and the CATs Algorithm

Richard Irving Anderson

The tip of the red giant branch provides a luminous standard candle for calibrating distance ladders that reach Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) hosts. However, recent work reveals that tip measurements vary at the similar to 0.1 mag level for different stellar p ...

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 ...

Constraints on dark matter to dark radiation conversion in the late universe with DES-Y1 and external data

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We study a phenomenological class of models where dark matter converts to dark radiation in the low redshift epoch. This class of models, dubbed DMDR, characterizes the evolution of comoving dark-matter density with two extra parameters, and may be able to ...

Lithium in red giant stars: Constraining non-standard mixing with large surveys in the Gaia era

Pierre North

Context. Li is extensively known to be a good tracer of non-standard mixing processes occurring in stellar interiors. Aims. We present the results of a new large Li survey in red giant stars and combine it with surveys from the literature to probe the impa ...

The Pristine survey - V. A bright star sample observed with SOPHIE

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

With the aim of probing the properties of the bright end of the Pristine survey and its effectiveness in selecting metal-poor stars, we selected a sample of bright candidate metal-poor stars combining Pristine CaHK photometry with APASS gi photometry, befo ...

The time delay between star formation quenching and morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters: a phase-space view of EDisCS

Pascale Jablonka

We explore the possible effect of cluster environments on the structure and star formation histories of galaxies by analysing the projected phase-space (PPS) of intermediate-redshift clusters (0.4

Chemical inhomogeneities amongst first population stars in globular clusters Evidence for He variations

Carmela Lardo

Spreads in light element abundances among stars (also known as multiple populations) are observed in nearly all globular clusters. One way to map such chemical variations using high-precision photometry is to employ a suitable combination of stellar magnit ...

Structure of Herbig AeBe Disks at the milliarcsecond Scale—A Statistical Survey in the H Band Using PIONIER-VLTI

Ferréol Arnaud Marie Soulez

Context. It is now generally accepted that the near-infrared excess of Herbig AeBe stars originates in the dust of a circumstellar disk. Aims. The aims of this article are to infer the radial and vertical structure of these disks at scales of order 1 au, a ...

Testing parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids, and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the HIPPARCOS and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) as part of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). Ai ...

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 ...

Gaia Data Release 1 Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magnitude 20.7. Aims. A summary of Gaia DR1 is presented along with illu ...

Gravitational tides and dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz, Matthew Luke Nichols

The effect of the local environment on the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies is poorly understood. We have undertaken a suite of simulations to investigate the tidal impact of the Milky Way on the chemodynamical evolution of dwarf spheroidals that res ...

A deep proper-motion survey of the nearby open cluster Blanco 1

Jean-Claude Mermilliod

We provide two comprehensive catalogues of positions and proper motions in the area of open cluster Blanco 1. The main catalogue, CtlgM, contains 6271 objects down to V similar to 18.5 and covers a circular similar to 11 deg2 area. The accuracy of CtlgM pr ...

Manganese evolution in Omega Centauri: a clue to the cluster formation mechanisms?

We model the evolution of manganese relative to iron in the progenitor system of the globular cluster Omega Centauri by means of a self-consistent chemical evolution model. We use stellar yields that already reproduce the measurements of [Mn/Fe] versus [Fe ...

On the effect of image denoising on galaxy shape measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile, Guldariya Nurbaeva

Weak gravitational lensing is a very sensitive way of measuring cosmological parameters, including dark energy, and of testing current theories of gravitation. In practice, this requires exquisite measurement of the shapes of billions of galaxies over larg ...
