- Description:
- The production rate of ionizing photons in young (<=8Myr), unresolved stellar clusters in the nearby irregular galaxy NGC 4214 is probed using multi-wavelength Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 data. We normalize the ionizing photon rate by the cluster mass to investigate the upper end of the stellar initial mass function (IMF). We have found that within the uncertainties the upper end of the stellar IMF appears to be universal in this galaxy, and that deviations from a universal IMF can be attributed to stochastic sampling of stars in clusters with masses {<~}10^3^M_{sun}_. Furthermore, we have found that there does not seem to be a dependence of the maximum stellar mass on the cluster mass. We have also found that for massive clusters, feedback may cause an underrepresentation in H{alpha} luminosities, which needs to be taken into account when conducting this type of analysis.

- 6cm and 11cm polarisation maps of SNR G65.2+5.7

- Description:
- SNR G65.2+5.7 is one of few supernova remnants (SNRs) that have been optically detected. It is exceptionally bright in X-rays and the optical [O III]-line. Its low surface brightness and large diameter ensure that radio observations of SNR G65.2+5.7 are technically difficult and thus have hardly been completed. Many physical properties of this SNR, such as spectrum and polarization, can only be investigated by radio observations.

- Description:
- S147 is a large faint shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) known for its remarkable spectral break at cm-wavelength, which is an important physical property to characterize SNR evolution. However, the spectral break is based on radio observations with limited precision. New sensitive observations at high frequencies are required for a detailed study of the spectral properties and the magnetic field structure of S147.

- CDS
- Description:
- We present two new catalogues of radio-continuum sources in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These catalogues contain sources found at 4800MHz (λ=6cm) and 8640MHz (λ=3cm). Some 457 sources have been detected at 3cm with 601 sources at 6cm created from new high-sensitivity and resolution radio-continuum images of the SMC from Crawford et al. (<A HREF="http://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-ref?bibcode=2011SerAJ.183...95C%202011SerAJ.183...95C">2011SerAJ.183...95C 2011SerAJ.183...95C</A>).

- 6cm and 20cm survey of Galactic Center
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/177/515
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe the results of a millijansky sensitivity VLA survey of roughly 1deg^2^ near the Galactic center at 6 and 20cm. Catalogs of compact and filamentary structures are given and compared to previous surveys of the region. Eight of the unusual nonthermal radio filaments are detected in 6cm polarized emission; three of these are the first such detections, confirming their nonthermal nature. This survey found emission from a filament at (l,b)=(359.1,0.75), or a projected distance from Sgr A* of 200pc, greatly extending the latitude range observed with such features. There is also new evidence for spatial gradients in the 6/20cm spectral indices of some filaments, and we discuss models for these gradients. In studying compact sources, the combination of spectral index and polarization information allows us to identify pulsar candidates and compact HII regions in the survey. There is also some evidence that the flux measurements of compact sources may be affected by electron scattering from the interstellar medium in the central few hundred parsecs of the Galaxy.

- 7 CMa system velocity curves
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/631/A136
- Date:

- Description:
- We report the discovery of a second planet orbiting the K giant star 7 CMa based on 166 high-precision radial velocities obtained with Lick, HARPS, UCLES and SONG. The periodogram analysis reveals two periodic signals of approximately 745 and 980d, associated to planetary companions. A double-Keplerian orbital fit of the data reveals two Jupiter-like planets with minimum masses M_b_sini~1.9Mj and M_c_sini~0.9Mj, orbiting at semi-major axes of a_b_~1.75au and a_c_~2.15au, respectively. Given the small orbital separation and the large minimum masses of the planets close encounters may occur within the time baseline of the observations, thus, a more accurate N-body dynamical modeling of the available data is performed. The dynamical best-fit solution leads to collision of the planets and we explore the long-term stable configuration of the system in a Bayesian framework, confirming that 13% of the posterior samples are stable for at least 10Myr. The result from the stability analysis indicates that the two-planets are trapped in a low-eccentricity 4:3 mean-motion resonance. This is only the third discovered system to be inside a 4:3 resonance, making it very valuable for planet formation and orbital evolution models.

- CMB intensity map from WMAP and Planck PR2 data
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/591/A50

- Description:
- We describe a new estimate of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) intensity map reconstructed by a joint analysis of the full Planck 2015 data (PR2) and nine years of WMAP data. The proposed map provides more than a mere update of the CMB map introduced in a previous paper since it benefits from an improvement of the component separation method L-GMCA (Local-Generalized Morphological Component Analysis), which facilitates efficient separation of correlated components. Based on the most recent CMB data, we further confirm previous results showing that the proposed CMB map estimate exhibits appealing characteristics for astrophysical and cosmological applications: i) it is a full-sky map as it did not require any inpainting or interpolation postprocessing, ii) foreground contamination is very low even on the galactic center, and iii) the map does not exhibit any detectable trace of thermal SZ contamination. We show that its power spectrum is in good agreement with the Planck PR2 official theoretical best-fit power spectrum. Finally, following the principle of reproducible research, we provide the codes to reproduce the L-GMCA, which makes it the only reproducible CMB map.

- CMD and mass distribution of Ba stars
- Short Name:

- Description:
- With the availability of parallaxes provided by the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution, it is possible to construct the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) of barium and related stars with unprecedented accuracy. A direct result from the derived HRD is that subgiant CH stars occupy the same region as barium dwarfs, contrary to what their designations imply. By comparing the position of barium stars in the HRD with STAREVOL evolutionary tracks, it is possible to evaluate their masses, provided the metallicity is known. We used an average metallicity [Fe/H]=-0.25 and derived the mass distribution of barium giants. The distribution peaks around 2.5M_{sun}_, with a tail at higher masses up to 4.5M_{sun}_. This peak is seen as well in the mass distribution of a sample of normal K and M giants used for comparison and is associated with stars located in the red clump. When we compare these mass distributions, we see a deficit of low-mass (1-2M_{sun}_) barium giants. This is probably because low-mass stars reach large radii at the tip of the red giant branch, which may have resulted in an early binary interaction. Among barium giants, the high-mass tail is however dominated by stars with a barium index (based on a visual inspection of the barium spectral line) less than unity, i.e., with a very moderate barium line strength. We believe that these stars are not genuine barium giants, but rather bright giants (or supergiants) where the barium lines are strengthened because of a positive luminosity effect. Moreover, contrary to previous claims, we do not see differences between the mass distributions of mild and strong barium giants.

- 6 & 1.3cm deep VLA obs. toward 58 high-mass SFRs

- Description:
- We present a high-sensitivity radio continuum survey at 6 and 1.3cm using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array toward a sample of 58 high-mass star-forming regions. Our sample was chosen from dust clumps within infrared dark clouds with and without IR sources (CMC-IRs and CMCs, respectively), and hot molecular cores (HMCs), with no previous, or relatively weak radio continuum detection at the 1mJy level. Due to the improvement in the continuum sensitivity of the Very Large Array, this survey achieved map rms levels of ~3-10{mu}Jy/beam at sub-arcsecond angular resolution. We extracted 70 continuum sources associated with 1.2mm dust clumps. Most sources are weak, compact, and prime candidates for high-mass protostars. Detection rates of radio sources associated with the millimeter dust clumps for CMCs, CMC-IRs, and HMCs are 6%, 53%, and 100%, respectively. This result is consistent with increasing high-mass star formation activity from CMCs to HMCs. The radio sources located within HMCs and CMC-IRs occur close to the dust clump centers, with a median offset from it of 12000au and 4000au, respectively. We calculated 5-25GHz spectral indices using power-law fits and obtained a median value of 0.5 (i.e., flux increasing with frequency), suggestive of thermal emission from ionized jets. In this paper we describe the sample, observations, and detections.
