  • The intracluster light as a tracer of the total matter density distribution: a view from simulations
    By using deep observations of clusters of galaxies, it has been recently found that the projected stellar mass density closely follows the projected total (dark and baryonic) mass density within the innermost ∼140 kpc. In this work, we aim to test these observations using the Cluster-EAGLE simulations, comparing the projected densities inferred

  • The frequency of gaseous debris discs around white dwarfs
    A total of 1-3 per cent of white dwarfs are orbited by planetary dusty debris detectable as infrared emission in excess above the white dwarf flux. In a rare subset of these systems, a gaseous disc component is also detected via emission lines of the Ca II 8600 Å triplet, broadened by the Keplerian velocity of the disc. We present the first

  • The Fourth Catalog of Active Galactic Nuclei Detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope
    The fourth catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Large Area Telescope (4LAC) between 2008 August 4 and 2016 August 2 contains 2863 objects located at high Galactic latitudes (| b| > 10°). It includes 85% more sources than the previous 3LAC catalog based on 4 yr of data. AGNs represent at least 79%

  • The effect of the environment-dependent IMF on the formation and metallicities of stars over the cosmic history
    Recent observational and theoretical studies indicate that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) varies systematically with the environment (star formation rate - SFR, metallicity). Although the exact dependence of the IMF on those properties is likely to change with improving observational constraints, the reported trend in the shape of the IMF

  • The Continuing Search for Evidence of Tidal Orbital Decay of Hot Jupiters
    Many of the known hot Jupiters are formally unstable to tidal orbital decay. The only hot Jupiter for which orbital decay has been directly detected is WASP-12, for which transit-timing measurements spanning more than a decade have revealed that the orbital period is decreasing at a rate of dP/dt ≈ 10^{-9}, corresponding to a reduced tidal quality

  • The chemical compositions of accreted and in situ galactic globular clusters according to SDSS/APOGEE
    Studies of the kinematics and chemical compositions of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) enable the reconstruction of the history of star formation, chemical evolution, and mass assembly of the Galaxy. Using the latest data release (DR16) of the SDSS/APOGEE survey, we identify 3090 stars associated with 46 GCs. Using a previously defined kinematic
