Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) IRAM spectra

Description:
We present a multi-wavelength study of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS). This comet was observed on 23-24 January 2018 with the IRAM 30m telescope, and in January to March 2018 with the Nancay radio telescope. Visible spectroscopy was performed in December 2017 and February 2018 with small amateur telescopes. We report on measurements of CO, CH_3_OH, H_2_CO and HCN production rates, and on the determination of the N2/CO abundance ratio. Several other species, especially OH, were searched for but not detected. The inferred relative abundances, including upper limits for sulfur species, are compared to those measured in other comets at about the same heliocentric distance of ~2.8AU. The coma composition of comet C/2016 R2 is very different from all other comets observed so far, being rich in N2 and CO and dust poor. This suggests that this comet might belong to a very rare group of comets formed beyond the N_2_ ice line. Alternatively, comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) could be the fragment of a large and differentiated transneptunian object, with properties characteristic of volatile-enriched layers.

Description:
We present the results of a molecular survey of comet 46P/Wirtanen undertaken with the IRAM 30-m and NOEMA radio telescopes in December 2018. Observations at IRAM 30-m during the 12-18 Dec. period comprise a 2mm spectral survey, which covers 25GHz, and a 1mm survey which covers 62GHz. The gas outflow velocity and kinetic temperature have been accurately constrained by the observations. We derive abundances of 11 molecules, some being identified remotely for the first time in a Jupiter-family comet, including complex organic molecules such as formamide, ethylene glycol, acetaldehyde or ethanol. Sensitive upper limits on the abundances of 24 other molecules are obtained. The comet is found to be relatively rich in methanol (3.4% relative to water) but relatively depleted in CO, CS, HNC, HNCO or HCOOH.

Description:
The 326 common proper motion systems that have a ratio angular separation to proper motion smaller than 1000 years are in table1. The number of optical systems is expected to be around 4. Each system fills a 256 byte-length record that may also be considered as two 128 byte-length records for print-out edition. The 113 common proper motion systems that have a ratio angular separation to proper motion between 1000 and 3500 years are in table2. The number of physical systems is expected to be around 68. The presentation is the same as for table1. This table differs from the original printed version, since the the magnitude and the spectral type of the secondary component of the 47th system were corrected. The system 47 was also added to the notes.

Common proper motion stars in the Kepler field

Description:
In a search of proper motion catalogs for common proper motion stars in the field of the Kepler spacecraft I identified 93 likely binary systems. A comparison of their rotation periods is a test of the gyrochronology concept. To find their periods I calculated the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the Kepler mission photometry for each star. In most systems for which good periods can be found, the cooler star has a longer period than the hotter component, in general agreement with models. However, there is a wide range in the gradients of lines connecting binary pairs in a period-color diagram. Furthermore, near the solar color, only a few stars have longer periods than the Sun, suggesting that they, and their cooler companions, are not much older than the Sun. In addition, there is an apparent gap at intermediate periods in the period distribution of the late K and early M stars. Either star formation in this direction has been variable, or stars evolve in period at a non-uniform rate, or some stars evolve more rapidly than others at the same mass. Finally, using the ACF as a measure of the activity level, I found that while the F, G, and early K stars become less active as their periods increase, there is no correlation between period and activity for the mid K to early M stars.

Description:
We present a catalogue of ^12^CO(J=1-0) and ^13^CO(J=1-0) molecular clouds in the spatio-velocity range of the Carina Flare supershell, GSH287+04-17. The data cover a region of ~66 square degrees and were taken with the NANTEN 4m telescope, at spatial and velocity resolutions of ~2.6' and 0.1km/s. Decomposition of the emission results in the identification of 156 ^12^CO clouds and 60 ^13^CO clouds, for which we provide observational and physical parameters.

CO molecular clouds in Lupus
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:

Description:
The Lupus star-forming region has been surveyed for molecular clouds in ^12^CO with the NANTEN radio telescope, and a cloud mass of 1.7x10^4^M_{sun}_ has been revealed. We were able to detect 105 molecular clouds, most of which are relatively small and of low mass. The members of the Sco OB 2 association and the X-ray detected pre-main-sequence stars (PMSs) are distributed all around this region. The OB stars and the molecular clouds show exclusive distributions. Large fractions of the PMSs are located away from the molecular clouds, and are thus isolated. The origin of the isolated PMSs is discussed. About 40% of the PMSs have candidates of their parent clouds less massive than 20M_{sun}_ within 4pc, which suggests in-situ star formation in the small clouds and their rapid dissipation. The separations from the PMSs to the clouds are typically larger than those in the Chamaeleon region, probably because of coexisting OB stars. From the cloud structures and the distributions of the OB stars, PMSs, and H I expanding shell, it is suggested that the molecular clouds have been effectively dissipated by the OB stars and a shock wave, which may also have triggered star formation in Lupus and the {rho} Oph clouds.

Description:
We made an unbiased search for molecular clouds in the Galactic Warp. This survey, covering an area of 56 square degrees at l=252{deg} to 266{deg} and b=-5{deg} to -1{deg}, revealed 70 molecular clouds, while only 6 clouds were previously known in this sector at R>~14.5kpc.

Title:
CO molecular clumps in Henize 2-10 dwarf galaxy
Short Name:
J/ApJ/867/165
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array CO(3-2) observations at 0.3" resolution of He 2-10, a starburst dwarf galaxy and possible high-z galaxy analog. The warm dense gas traced by CO(3-2) is found in clumpy filaments that are kinematically and spatially distinct. The filaments have no preferred orientation or direction; this may indicate that the galaxy is not evolving into a disk galaxy. Filaments appear to be feeding the active starburst; the velocity field in one filament suggests acceleration onto an embedded star cluster. The relative strengths of CO(3-2) and radio continuum vary strongly on decaparsec scales in the starburst. There is no CO(3-2) clump coincident with the nonthermal radio source that has been suggested to be an AGN, nor unusual kinematics. The kinematics of the molecular gas show significant activity that is apparently unrelated to the current starburst. The longest filament, east of the starburst, has a pronounced shear of FWHM ~40km/s across its ~50pc width over its entire ~0.5kpc length. The cause of the shear is not clear. This filament is close in projection to a "dynamically distinct" CO feature previously seen in CO(1-0). The most complex region and the most highly disturbed gas velocities are in a region 200pc south of the starburst. The CO(3-2) emission there reveals a molecular outflow, of line width FWZI~120-140km/s, requiring an energy >~10^53^erg/s. There is at present no candidate for the driving source of this outflow.
3149. Comoving group associated with HD 141569

Title:
Comoving group associated with HD 141569
Short Name:
J/AJ/136/2483
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the results of a search for a young stellar moving group associated with the star HD 141569 - a nearby, isolated Herbig AeBe primary member of a 5+/-3Myr-old triple star system on the outskirts of the Sco-Cen complex. Our spectroscopic survey identified a population of 21 Li-rich, >~30Myr-old stars within 30{deg} of HD 141569 which possess similar proper motions with the star. The spatial distribution of these Li-rich stars, however, is not suggestive of a moving group associated with the HD 141569 triplet, but rather this sample appears cospatial with Upper Scorpius (US) and Upper Centaurus Lupus (UCL). We apply a modified moving cluster parallax method to compare the kinematics of these youthful stars with those of the US and UCL. Eight new potential members of US and five new potential members of UCL are identified. A substantial moving group with an identifiable nucleus within 15{deg} (~30pc) of HD 141569 is not found in this sample. Evidently, the HD 141569 system formed ~5Myr ago in relative isolation, tens of parsecs away from the recent sites of star formation in the Ophiucus-Scorpius-Centaurus region.

Comoving stars in Gaia DR1
Short Name:
J/AJ/153/257
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The primary sample of the Gaia Data Release 1 is the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS): {simeq}2 million Tycho-2 sources with improved parallaxes and proper motions relative to the initial catalog. This increased astrometric precision presents an opportunity to find new binary stars and moving groups. We search for high-confidence comoving pairs of stars in TGAS by identifying pairs of stars consistent with having the same 3D velocity using a marginalized likelihood ratio test to discriminate candidate comoving pairs from the field population. Although we perform some visualizations using (bias-corrected) inverse parallax as a point estimate of distance, the likelihood ratio is computed with a probabilistic model that includes the covariances of parallax and proper motions and marginalizes the (unknown) true distances and 3D velocities of the stars. We find 13085 comoving star pairs among 10606 unique stars with separations as large as 10pc (our search limit). Some of these pairs form larger groups through mutual comoving neighbors: many of these pair networks correspond to known open clusters and OB associations, but we also report the discovery of several new comoving groups. Most surprisingly, we find a large number of very wide (>1pc) separation comoving star pairs, the number of which increases with increasing separation and cannot be explained purely by false-positive contamination. Our key result is a catalog of high-confidence comoving pairs of stars in TGAS. We discuss the utility of this catalog for making dynamical inferences about the Galaxy, testing stellar atmosphere models, and validating chemical abundance measurements.
