- Description:
- Aims. We report the investigation results of the structure and content of a molecular cloud surrounding the source IRAS 05168+3634 (also known as Mol 9). Methods. We present a photometric analysis using the data of J, H, K UKIDSS, [3.6], [4.5]{mu}m Spitzer-IRAC and 3.4, 4.6, 12, 22{mu}m WISE databases. A multi-color criteria was used to identify the candidates of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the molecular cloud; in addition to IRAS 05168+3634, there are four IRAS sources embedded in the same molecular cloud. Color-magnitude diagrams and the K luminosity function (KLF) were used to determine the basic parameters of stellar objects (spectral classes, masses, ages). To study the YSOs with longer wavelength photometry the radiative transfer models were used. Results. Based on color-color and color-magnitude diagrams, we identified a rich population of embedded YSO candidates with infrared excess (Class 0/I and Class II) and their characteristics in a quite large molecular cloud located in a region of 24 arcmin radius. The molecular cloud includes 240 candidates of YSOs within the radii of subregions around five IRAS sources. The local distribution of identified YSOs in the molecular cloud frequently shows elongation and subclustering. The observed young subregions and parental molecular cloud morphologies are similar, especially when only the youngest Class I/0 sources are considered. The color-magnitude diagrams of the subregions suggest a very young stellar population. We construct the KLF of the subregions except for the IRAS 05162+3639 region and it shows unusually low values for {alpha} slope: 0.12-0.21. According to the values of the slopes of the KLFs, the age of the subregions can be estimated at 0.1-3Myr. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are constructed for 45 Class I and 75 Class II evolutionary stage YSOs and the received parameters of these YSOs are well correlated with the results obtained by other methods. According to the results of SED fitting tool, the sources IRAS 05184+3635, IRAS 05177+3636, and IRAS 05162+3639 can be classified as Class I evolutionary stage objects. IRAS 05168+3634 and IRAS 05156+3643 can be classified as flat-spectrum objects.

- Description:
- We study the small-scale structure of massive star-forming regions through interferometric observations in several (sub)mm wavelength bands. We determine the kinetic temperature of the gas around the protostars, and derive the column density of several molecular species. For two of the protostars, constrains on the density are also inferred.

- Description:
- A procedure of sampling objects by way of cross-identification of the low-frequency radio catalogue of objects obtained with the aid of the Texas interferometer at the frequency 365MHz and of the IRAS (Cat. <II/125>) catalogue is discussed. Statistical properties of different subsamples of sources are investigated. From the results of cross-identification with the radio catalogues of the database CATS (Verkhodanov et al., 1997BaltA...6..275V), continuous radio spectra of objects are plotted, identification with optical and X-ray catalogues is carried out. From the steep spectrum objects sources are selected for further studies.

- Description:
- Recent XMM-Newton observations have revealed that IRAS 17020+4544 is a very unusual example of black hole windproduced feedback by a moderately luminous AGN in a spiral galaxy. Since the source is known for being a radio emitter, we investigated about the presence and the properties of a non-thermal component. We observed IRAS 17020+4544 with the Very Long Baseline Array at 5, 8, 15, and 24GHz within a month of the 2014 XMM-Newton observations. We further analysed archival data taken in 2000 and 2012. Results. We detect the source at 5GHz and on short baselines at 8GHz. At 15 and 24 GHz, the source is below our baseline sensitivity for fringe fitting, indicating the lack of prominent compact features. The morphology is that of an asymmetric double, with significant diffuse emission. The spectrum between 5 and 8GHz is rather steep (S{nu}~nu^-(1.0+/-0.2)^). Our re-analysis of the archival data at 5 and 8GHz provides results consistent with the new observations, suggesting that flux density and structural variability are not important in this source. We put a limit on the separation speed between the main components of <0.06c. IRAS 17020+4544 shows interesting features of several classes of objects: its properties are typical of compact steep spectrum sources, low power compact sources, radio-emitting narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies. However, it can not be classified in any of these categories, remaining so far a one-of-a-kind object.

- Description:
- Carbonaceous nanograins are present at the surface of protoplanetary disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars, where most of the ultraviolet energy from the central star is dissipated. Efficiently coupled to the gas, they are unavoidable to understand the physics and chemistry of these disks. Furthermore, nanograins are able to trace the outer flaring parts of the disk and possibly the gaps from which the larger grains are missing. However, their evolution through the disks, from internal to external regions, is only poorly understood so far. Our aim is to examine the spatial distribution and evolution of the nanodust emission in the emblematic (pre-)transitional protoplanetary disk HD 100546. This disk shows many structures (annular gaps, rings, and spirals) and reveals very rich carbon nanodust spectroscopic signatures (aromatic, aliphatic) in a wide spatial range of the disk (~20-200au). We analysed adaptive optics spectroscopic observations in the 3-4um range (angular resolution of ~0.1") and imaging and spectroscopic observations in the 8-12um range (angular resolution of ~0.3"). The hyperspectral cube was decomposed into a sum of spatially coherent dust components using a Gaussian decomposition algorithm. We compared the data to model predictions using the heterogeneous dust evolution model for interstellar solids (THEMIS), which is integrated in the radiative transfer code POLARIS by calculating the thermal and stochastic heating of micro- and nanometre-sized dust grains for a given disk structure. We find that the aromatic features at 3.3, 8.6, and 11.3um, and the aliphatic features between 3.4 and 3.5um are spatially extended; each band shows a specific morphology dependent on the local physical conditions. The aliphatic-to-aromatic band ratio, 3.4/3.3, increases with the distance from the star from ~0.2 (at 0.2" or 20au) to ~0.45 (at 1" or 100au), suggesting UV processing. In the 8-12um observed spectra, several features characteristic of aromatic particles and crystalline silicates are detected. Their relative contribution changes with the distance to the star. The model predicts that the features and adjacent continuum are due to different combinations of grain sub-populations, in most cases with a high dependence on the intensity of the UV field. The model reproduces the spatial emission profiles of the bands well, except for the inner 20-40au, where the observed emission of the 3.3 and 3.4um bands is, unlike the predictions, flat and no longer increases with the UV field. With our approach that combines observational data in the near- to mid-IR and disk modelling, we deliver constraints on the spatial distribution of nano-dust particles as a function of the disk structure and radiation field.

- IR-bright MSX sources in the SMC with Spitzer/IRS

- Description:
- We have used the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope to observe stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) selected from the Point Source Catalog of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX). We concentrate on the dust properties of the oxygen-rich evolved stars. The dust composition has smaller contributions from alumina compared to the Galaxy. This difference may arise from the lower metallicity in the SMC, but it could be a selection effect, as the SMC sample includes more stars that are brighter and thus more massive. The distribution of the SMC stars along the silicate sequence looks more like the Galactic sample of red supergiants than asymptotic giant branch stars (AGBs). While many of the SMC stars are definitively on the AGB, several also show evidence of hot bottom burning. Three of the supergiants show PAH emission at 11.3{mu}m. Two other sources show mixed chemistry, with both carbon-rich and oxygen-rich spectral features. One, MSX SMC 134, may be the first confirmed silicate/carbon star in the SMC. The other, MSX SMC 049, is a candidate post-AGB star. MSX SMC 145, previously considered a candidate OH/IR star, is actually an AGB star with a background galaxy at z=0.16 along the same line of sight. We consider the overall characteristics of all the MSX sources, the most infrared-bright objects in the SMC, in light of the higher sensitivity and resolution of Spitzer, and compare them with the object types expected from the original selection criteria. This population represents what will be seen in more distant galaxies by the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Color-color diagrams generated from the IRS spectra and the mid-infrared filters on JWST show how one can separate evolved stars from young stellar objects (YSOs) and distinguish among different classes of YSOs.

- IR colours of MASH planetary nebulae
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/394/1875

- Description:
- We have analysed the near-infrared (NIR) and far-infrared (FIR) colours of MASH I and MASH II (the Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg surveys, Cat. <V/127>) planetary nebulae (PNe), using data deriving from the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey and Infrared Astronomical Satellite. We were able to identify ~5 per cent of the sources in the NIR, and a slightly larger fraction (~12 per cent) in the FIR. It is concluded that whilst the NIR colours of these nebulae are consistent with those of less evolved (and higher surface brightness) PNe, their FIR colours are markedly different. This disparity is likely to arise as a result of an evolution in dust temperatures, in their line emission characteristics, and in the relative contributions of the 8.6 and 11.3um polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission features. A rump of~9 per cent of the detected sources have values log[F(25um)/F(60um)] which are lower than can be explained in terms of normal nebular evolution, however. If these are comparable in nature to the undetected PNe, then this would argue that ~1 in 10 of MASH I and II nebulae may represent galactic H ii regions, Stromgren spheres, symbiotic nebulae or other unrelated categories of source.

- IR continuum, [CII] and [OI] maps of M33
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- M33 is a gas rich spiral galaxy of the Local Group. Its vicinity allows us to study its interstellar medium (ISM) on linear scales corresponding to the sizes of individual giant molecular clouds. We investigate the relationship between the two major gas cooling lines and the total infrared (TIR) dust continuum. We mapped the emission of gas and dust in M33 using the far-infrared lines of [CII] and [OI](63um) and the total infrared continuum. The line maps were observed with the PACS spectrometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory. These maps have 50pc resolution and form a ~370pc wide stripe along its major axis covering the sites of bright HII regions, but also more quiescent arm and inter-arm regions from the southern arm at 2kpc galacto-centric distance to the south out to 5.7kpc distance to the north. Full-galaxy maps of the continuum emission at 24um from Spitzer/MIPS, and at 70um, 100um, and 160um from Herschel/PACS were combined to obtain a map of the TIR. TIR and [CII] intensities are correlated over more than two orders of magnitude. The range of TIR translates to a range of far ultraviolet (FUV) emission of G_0,obs_~2 to 200 in units of the average Galactic radiation field. The binned [CII]/TIR ratio drops with rising TIR, with large, but decreasing scatter. The contribution of the cold neutral medium to the [CII] emission, as estimated from VLA HI data, is on average only 10%. Fits of modified black bodies (MBBs) to the continuum emission were used to estimate dust mass surface densities and total gas column densities. A correction for possible foreground absorption by cold gas was applied to the [OI] data before comparing it with models of photon dominated regions (PDRs). Most of the ratios of [CII]/[OI] and ([CII]+[OI])/TIR are consistent with two model solutions. The median ratios are consistent with one solution at n~2x10^2^cm^-3^, G_0_~60, and and a second low-FUV solution at n~10^4^cm^-3^, G_0_~1.5. The bulk of the gas along the lines-of-sight is represented by a low-density, high-FUV phase with low beam filling factors ~1. A fraction of the gas may, however, be represented by the second solution.

- Description:
- We present near-infrared and optical observations of the field of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 taken with the Keck telescope. We derive a sub-arcsecond Chandra position and tie it to our optical reference frame using other stars in the field. We find a very faint source, K_S_=21.7+/-0.2mag, with a position coincident with the Chandra position. We argue that this is the counterpart. In the J, I, and R bands, we derive (2{sigma}) limits of 23.8, 25.6, and 26.4mag, respectively. As with 4U 0142+61, for which a counterpart has previously been found, our results are inconsistent with models in which the source is powered by accretion from a disk but may be consistent with the magnetar model.

- Description:
- We obtained high-resolution spectra of the ultracool M-dwarf TRAPPIST-1 during the transit of its planet "b" using two high-dispersion near-infrared spectrographs, the Infrared Doppler (IRD) instrument on the Subaru 8.2m telescope, and the Habitable Zone Planet Finder (HPF) instrument on the 10m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. These spectroscopic observations are complemented by a photometric transit observation for planet "b" using the APO/ARCTIC, which assisted us in capturing the correct transit times for our transit spectroscopy. Using the data obtained by the new IRD and HPF observations, as well as the prior transit observations of planets "b," "e" and "f" from IRD, we attempt to constrain the atmospheric escape of the planet using the Hei triplet 10830{AA} absorption line. We do not detect evidence for any primordial extended H-He atmospheres in all three planets. To limit any planet-related absorption, we place an upper limit on the equivalent widths of <7.754m{AA} for planet "b," <10.458m{AA} for planet "e," <4.143m{AA} for planet "f" at 95% confidence from the IRD data, and <3.467m{AA} for planet "b" at 95% confidence from HPF data. Using these limits along with a solar- like composition isothermal Parker wind model, we attempt to constrain the mass-loss rates for the three planets. For TRAPPIST-1b, our models exclude the highest possible energy-limited rate for a wind temperature <5000K. This nondetection of extended atmospheres with low mean-molecular weights in all three planets aids in further constraining their atmospheric composition by steering the focus toward the search of high-molecular-weight species in their atmospheres.
