- Description:
- To study the physical and chemical evolution of ices in solar-mass systems, a spectral survey is conducted of a sample of 41 low-luminosity YSOs (L~0.1-10L_{sun}_) using 3-38um Spitzer and ground-based spectra. The sample is complemented with previously published Spitzer spectra of background stars and with ISO spectra of well-studied massive YSOs (L~10^5^L_{sun}_). The long-known 6.0 and 6.85um bands are detected toward all sources, with the Class 0-type YSOs showing the deepest bands ever observed. The 6.0um band is often deeper than expected from the bending mode of pure solid H_2_O. The additional 5-7um absorption consists of five independent components, which, by comparison to laboratory studies, must be from at least eight different carriers. Much of this absorption is due to simple species likely formed by grain surface chemistry, at abundances of 1%-30% for CH_3_OH, 3%-8% for NH_3_, 1%-5% for HCOOH, ~6% for H_2_CO, and ~0.3% for HCOO- relative to solid H_2_O. The 6.85um band has one or two carriers, of which one may be less volatile than H_2_O. Its carrier(s) formed early in the molecular cloud evolution and do not survive in the diffuse ISM. If an NH_4_^+^ -containing salt is the carrier, its abundance relative to solid H_2_O is ~7%, demonstrating the efficiency of low-temperature acid-base chemistry or cosmic-ray-induced reactions. Possible origins are discussed for enigmatic, very broad absorption between 5 and 8um. Finally, the same ices are observed toward massive and low-mass YSOs, indicating that processing by internal UV radiation fields is a minor factor in their early chemical evolution.

- Description:
- We present a new, ambitious survey performed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the 9.3deg^2^ Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. The wide field probes a statistically representative volume of the universe at high redshift. The Chandra Deep Wide-field Survey exploits the excellent sensitivity and angular resolution of Chandra over a wide area, combining 281 observations spanning 15yr, for a total exposure time of 3.4Ms, and detects 6891 X-ray point sources down to limiting fluxes of 4.7x10^-16^, 1.5x10^-16^, and 9x10^-16^erg/cm^2^/s in the 0.5-7, 0.5-2, and 2-7keV bands, respectively. The robustness and reliability of the detection strategy are validated through extensive, state-of-the-art simulations of the whole field. Accurate number counts, in good agreement with previous X-ray surveys, are derived thanks to the uniquely large number of point sources detected, which resolve 65.0%+/-12.8% of the cosmic X-ray background between 0.5 and 2keV and 81.0%+/-11.5% between 2 and 7keV. Exploiting the wealth of multiwavelength data available on the field, we assign redshifts to ~94% of the X-ray sources, estimate their obscuration, and derive absorption-corrected luminosities.

- Description:
- We present astrometric results for compact extragalactic objects observed with the Very Long Baseline Array at radio frequencies of 24 and 43GHz. Data were obtained from ten 24-hr observing sessions made over a five-year period. These observations were motivated by the need to extend the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) to higher radio frequencies to enable improved deep space navigation after 2016 and to improve state-of-the-art astrometry. Source coordinates for 268 sources were estimated at 24GHz and for 131 sources at 43GHz.

- Description:
- We have measured the submilliarcsecond structure of 274 extragalactic sources at 24 and 43 GHz in order to assess their astrometric suitability for use in a high-frequency celestial reference frame (CRF). Ten sessions of observations with the Very Long Baseline Array have been conducted over the course of ~5 years, with a total of 1339 images produced for the 274 sources. There are several quantities that can be used to characterize the impact of intrinsic source structure on astrometric observations including the source flux density, the flux density variability, the source structure index, the source compactness, and the compactness variability.

- 67 CEMP-s stars model analysis

- Description:
- Many of the carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars that we observe in the Galactic halo are found in binary systems and show enhanced abundances of elements produced by the slow neutron-capture process (s-elements). The origin of the peculiar chemical abundances of these CEMP-s stars is believed to be accretion in the past of enriched material from a primary star in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of its evolution. We investigate the mechanism of mass transfer and the process of nucleosynthesis in low-metallicity AGB stars by modelling the binary systems in which the observed CEMP-s stars were formed. For this purpose we compare a sample of 67 CEMP-s stars with a grid of binary stars generated by our binary evolution and nucleosynthesis model. We classify our sample CEMP-s stars in three groups based on the observed abundance of europium. In CEMP-s/r stars the europium-to-iron ratio is more than ten times higher than in the Sun, whereas it is lower than this threshold in CEMP-s/nr stars. No measurement of europium is currently available for CEMP-s/ur stars. On average our models reproduce the abundances observed in CEMP-s/nr stars well, whereas in CEMP-s/r stars and CEMP-s/ur stars the abundances of the light-s elements (strontium, yttrium, zirconium) are systematically overpredicted by our models, and in CEMP-s/r stars the abundances of the heavy-s elements (barium, lanthanum) are underestimated. In all stars our modelled abundances of sodium overestimate the observations. This discrepancy is reduced only in models that underestimate the abundances of most of the s-elements. Furthermore, the abundance of lead is underpredicted in most of our model stars, independent of the metallicity. These results point to the limitations of our AGB nucleosynthesis model, particularly in the predictions of the element-to-element ratios. In our models CEMP-s stars are typically formed in wide systems with periods above 10000-days, while most of the observed CEMP-s stars are found in relatively close orbits with periods below 5000-days. This evidence suggests that either the sample of CEMP-s binary stars with known orbital parameters is biased towards short periods or that our wind mass-transfer model requires more efficient accretion in close orbits.

- Description:
- We present new wide-field observations of Centaurus A (Cen A) and the surrounding region at 118MHz with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) 32-tile prototype, with which we investigate the spectral-index distribution of Cen A's giant radio lobes. We compare our images to 1.4GHz maps of Cen A and compute spectral indices using temperature-temperature plots and spectral tomography. We find that the morphologies at 118MHz and 1.4GHz match very closely apart from an extra peak in the southern lobe at 118MHz, which provides tentative evidence for the existence of a southern counterpart to the northern middle lobe of Cen A. Our spatially averaged spectral indices for both the northern and southern lobes are consistent with previous analyses, however we find significant spatial variation of the spectra across the extent of each lobe. Both the spectral-index distribution and the morphology at low radio frequencies support a scenario of multiple outbursts of activity from the central engine. Our results are consistent with inverse-Compton modelling of radio and gamma-ray data that support a value for the lobe age of between 10 and 80Myr.

- Description:
- We present new radio and optical images of the nearest radio galaxy Centaurus A and its host galaxy NGC 5128. We focus our investigation on the northern transition region, where energy is transported from the ~5kpc (~5-arcmin) scales of the northern inner lobe (NIL) to the ~30kpc (~30-arcmin) scales of the northern middle lobe (NML). Our Murchison Widefield Array observations at 154MHz and our Parkes radio telescope observations at 2.3GHz show diffuse radio emission connecting the NIL to the NML, in agreement with previous Australia Telescope Compact Array observations at 1.4GHz. Comparison of these radio data with our wide-field optical emission-line images show the relationship between the NML radio emission and the ionized filaments that extend north from the NIL, and reveal a new ionized filament to the east, possibly associated with a galactic wind. Our deep optical images show clear evidence for a bipolar outflow from the central galaxy extending to intermediate scales, despite the non-detection of a southern radio counterpart to the NML. Thus, our observational overview of Centaurus A reveals a number of features proposed to be associated with active galactic nucleus feedback mechanisms, often cited as likely to have significant effects in galaxy evolution models. As one of the closest galaxies to us, Centaurus A therefore provides a unique laboratory to examine feedback mechanisms in detail.

- Description:
- A new sample of radio sources, with the designated name CENSORS (A Combined EIS-NVSS Survey Of Radio Sources), has been defined by combining the National Radio Astronomy Observatory Very Large Array Sky Survey (NVSS) at 1.4GHz with the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) Patch D, a 3x2deg^2^ region of sky centred at RA = 09 51 36.0, DE = -21 00 00 (J2000). New radio observations of 199 NVSS radio sources with NVSS flux densities S_1.4GHz_>7.8mJy are presented, and are compared with the EIS I-band imaging observations which reach a depth of I~23; optical identifications are obtained for over two-thirds of the ~150 confirmed radio sources within the EIS field.
