Young massive clusters (YMCs) are dense aggregates of young stars, which are essential to galaxy evolution, owing to their ultraviolet radiation, stellar winds, and supernovae. The typical mass and radius of YMCs are M ∼ 10<SUP>4</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> and R ∼ 1 pc, respectively, indicating that many stars are located in a small region. The formation of YMC precursor clouds may be difficult because a very compact massive cloud should be formed before stellar feedback blows off the cloud. Recent observational studies suggest that YMCs can be formed as a consequence of the fast H I gas collision with a velocity of ∼100 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>, which is the typical velocity of the galaxy-galaxy interaction. In this study, we examine whether the fast H I gas collision triggers YMC formation using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulations, which includes the effects of self-gravity, radiative cooling/heating, and chemistry. We demonstrate that massive gravitationally bound gas clumps with M > 10<SUP>4</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> and L ∼ 4 pc are formed in the shock compressed region induced by the fast H I gas collision, in which massive gas clumps can evolve into YMCs. Our results show that the YMC precursors are formed by the global gravitational collapse of molecular clouds, and YMCs can be formed even in low-metal environments, such as the Magellanic Clouds. Additionally, the very massive YMC precursor cloud, with M > 10<SUP>5</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>, can be created when we consider the fast collision of H I clouds, which may explain the origin of the very massive stellar cluster R136 system in the Large Magellanic Cloud. | 9 |

We present results of continuum and spectral line observations with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and 22 GHz water (H<SUB>2</SUB>O) maser observations using the KVN (Korean VLBI Network) and VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) array (KaVA) toward a high-mass star-forming region, G25.82-0.17. Multiple 1.3 mm continuum sources are revealed, indicating the presence of young stellar objects (YSOs) at different evolutionary stages, namely an ultracompact H II region, G25.82-E, a high-mass young stellar object (HM-YSO), G25.82-W1, and starless cores, G25.82-W2 and G25.82-W3. Two SiO outflows, at N-S and SE-NW orientations, are identified. The CH<SUB>3</SUB>OH 8<SUB>-1</SUB>-7<SUB>0</SUB> E line, known to be a Class I CH<SUB>3</SUB>OH maser at 229 GHz, is also detected, showing a mixture of thermal and maser emission. Moreover, the H<SUB>2</SUB>O masers are distributed in a region ∼0"25 shifted from G25.82-W1. The CH<SUB>3</SUB>OH 22<SUB>4</SUB>-21<SUB>5</SUB> E line shows a compact ringlike structure at the position of G25.82-W1 with a velocity gradient, indicating a rotating disk or envelope. Assuming Keplerian rotation, the dynamical mass of G25.82-W1 is estimated to be >25 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> and the total mass of 20-84 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> is derived from the 1.3 mm continuum emission. The driving source of the N-S SiO outflow is G25.82-W1 while that of the SE-NW SiO outflow is uncertain. Detection of multiple high-mass starless/protostellar cores and candidates without low-mass cores implies that HM-YSOs could form in individual high-mass cores as predicted by the turbulent core accretion model. If this is the case, the high-mass star formation process in G25.82 would be consistent with a scaled-up version of low-mass star formation. | 9 |

Recent cosmological hydrodynamical simulations are able to reproduce numerous statistical properties of galaxies that are consistent with observational data. Yet, the adopted subgrid models strongly affect the simulation outcomes, limiting the predictive power of these simulations. In this work, we perform a suite of isolated galactic disc simulations under the SMUGGLE framework and investigate how different subgrid models affect the properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We employ ASTRODENDRO, a hierarchical clump-finding algorithm, to identify GMCs in the simulations. We find that different choices of subgrid star formation efficiency, ϵ<SUB>ff</SUB>, and stellar feedback channels, yield dramatically different mass and spatial distributions for the GMC populations. Without feedback, the mass function of GMCs has a shallower power-law slope and extends to higher mass ranges compared to runs with feedback. Moreover, higher ϵ<SUB>ff</SUB> results in faster molecular gas consumption and steeper mass function slopes. Feedback also suppresses power in the two-point correlation function (TPCF) of the spatial distribution of GMCs. Specifically, radiative feedback strongly reduces the TPCF on scales below 0.2 kpc, while supernova feedback reduces power on scales above 0.2 kpc. Finally, runs with higher ϵ<SUB>ff</SUB> exhibit a higher TPCF than runs with lower ϵ<SUB>ff</SUB>, because the dense gas is depleted more efficiently, thereby facilitating the formation of well-structured supernova bubbles. We argue that comparing simulated and observed GMC populations can help better constrain subgrid models in the next generation of galaxy formation simulations. | 9 |

The GAMA J0913$-$0107 system is a rare conjunction of a submillimeter galaxy (SMG) at $z \approx 2.7$ and two background QSOs with projected separations $<$200 kpc. Previous high-resolution QSO absorption-line spectroscopy has revealed high H $\tiny{\rm I}$ column density, extremely metal-poor ($\sim 1\%$ solar) gas streams in the circumgalactic medium of the SMG. Here we present deep optical integral-field spectroscopy of the system with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI). Reaching a $2\sigma$ surface brightness (SB) limit $\approx 10^{-19}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ arcsec$^{-2}$ with $\sim$2 hours of integration time, we detect a filamentary Ly$\alpha$ nebula stretching $\sim$180 kpc from the SMG intercepting both QSO sightlines. This Ly$\alpha$ filament may correspond to the same cool gas stream penetrating through the hot halo seen in the absorption. In contrast to Ly$\alpha$ nebulae around QSOs, there is no obvious local source for photoionization due to the massive dust content. While uncertain, we consider the possibility that the nebula is ionized by shocks induced by the infall, obscured star formation, and/or a boosted UV background. The SMG-QSOs conjunction multiplied the efficiency of the KCWI observations, allowing a direct comparison of Ly$\alpha$ nebulae in two distinct environments. We find that the nebula around the QSOs are much brighter and show steeper surface brightness profiles than the SMG nebula. This is consistent with the additional photoionization and Ly$\alpha$ scattering provided by the QSOs. While illustrating the challenges of detecting Ly$\alpha$ nebulae around SMGs, our work also demonstrates that important insights can be gained from comparative studies of high-$z$ Ly$\alpha$ nebulae. | 9 |

We have investigated the pitch angle ($ψ$) of the spiral arms of galaxies in the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) COSMOS field. The sample consists of 102 face-on galaxies with a two-armed pattern at a mean redshift $\langle z\rangle≈ 0.5$. The typical values of $ψ$ in the arms of distant galaxies are shown to be close to those for nearby spiral galaxies. Within one galaxy the scatter of $ψ$ for different arms is, on average, half the mean pitch angle. In the $z$ range from 1 to 0 we have found a tendency for $ψ$ to decrease. Our analysis of the $ψ$ distributions in galaxies at different redshifts is consistent with the assumption that in most of the galaxies at $z≤ 0.5$ the spiral arms are tidal in origin or they arose from transient recurrent instabilities in their disks. | 9 |
To evaluate the role of radio activity in galaxy evolution, we designed a large archival CO survey of radio galaxies (RGs) to determine their molecular gas masses at different epochs. We used a sample of 120 RGs representative of the NVSS 1.4 GHz survey, when flux limited at 0.4 Jy. Of those, 66 galaxies belonged to the ALMA Radio-source Catalogue (ARC) of calibrators and had spectral window tunings around CO (1-0), (2-1), (3-2), or (4-3). We reduced their ALMA data, determined their H<SUB>2</SUB> mass contents, and combined the results with similar results for the remaining 54 galaxies from the literature. We found that, while at all epochs the majority of RGs have undetectable reservoirs, there is a rapid increase in the H<SUB>2</SUB> mass content of the CO-detected RGs with z. At 1 < z < 2.5, one-fourth of the RGs have at least as much molecular gas as simulations would indicate for a typical halo mass of that epoch. These galaxies plausibly have "normal" or even starbursty hosts. Overall, reservoirs of 10<SUP>7</SUP> ≲ M<SUB>H<SUB>2</SUB></SUB> ≲ 10<SUP>10</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> are seen at z < 0.3, and 10<SUP>10</SUP> ≲ M<SUB>H<SUB>2</SUB></SUB> ≲ 10<SUP>12</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> at z> 1. Taking into account the completeness correction of the sample, we created the corresponding H<SUB>2</SUB> mass functions at 0.005 < z < 0.3 and 1 < z < 2.5. The local mass function reveals that the number density of low-z RGs with detectable molecular gas reservoirs is only a little lower (a factor of ∼4) than that of pure (or little star-forming) type 1 and 2 AGN in simulations. At 1 < z < 2.5, there is a significant decrease in the number density of high-z RGs due to the rarity of bright radio galaxies. An estimate for the missing faint RGs would, nonetheless, bring populations close again. Finally, we find that the volume density of molecular gas locked up in the brightest 1/5000-1/7000 RGs is similar in the examined z bins. This result likely indicates that the inflow rate on one hand and the star-formation depletion rate plus the jet-driven expulsion rate on the other hand counteract each other in the most luminous RGs of each epoch. <P />Reduced datacubes are also available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr">cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr</A> (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/668/A67">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/668/A67</A> | 9 |

Our main aim is to test the non-variability of the radial velocity (RV) of a sample of 2351 standard stars used for wavelength calibration of the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) instrument onboard Gaia. In this paper, we present the spectroscopic analysis of these stars with the determination of their physical parameters by matching observed and synthetic spectra. We estimate the offset between different instruments after determining the shift between measured and archived RVs since the instrument pipelines use various numerical masks. Through the confirmation of the stability of the target RVs, we find 68 stars with a long-term variation having an acceleration that exceeds $10 \, \rm {m\, s^{-1}\,yr^{-1}}$. This suggests a barycentric reflex motion caused by a companion. As activity phenomena may be the source of periodic and trend-like RV variations in stars with putative planetary companions, we analysed various activity indicators in order to check their correlations to the RV changes. Among the trend stars, 18 have a trend model scatter greater than $100 \, \rm {m\, s^{-1}}$ over a time span from 10 to 12 yr. We also confirm that six stars with known substellar companions have a total model scatter, 3σ, exceeding the threshold set by Gaia, that is, $300 \, \rm {m\, s^{-1}}$. In addition, TYC8963-01543-1, an SB2 star, has data scatter $\sigma = 176.6\, \rm {m\, s^{-1}}$. Four more other stars are revealed to be variable after combining data from different instruments. Despite the presence of low-amplitude changes, a very large fraction of our sample (98.8 per cent) appears suitable as RV calibrators for Gaia RVS. | 9 |

We present results of a search for transiting exoplanets in 10-yr long photometry with thousands of epochs taken in the direction of the Galactic bulge. This photometry was collected in the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-IV). Our search covered ≈222 000 stars brighter than I=15.5 mag. Selected transits were verified using a probabilistic method. The search resulted in 99 high-probability candidates for transiting exoplanets. The estimated distances to these targets are between 0.4 kpc and 5.5 kpc, which is a significantly wider range than for previous transit searches. The planets found are Jupiter-size, with the exception of one (named OGLE-TR-1003b) located in the hot Neptune desert. If the candidate is confirmed, it can be important for studies of highly irradiated intermediate-size planets. The existing long-term, high-cadence photometry of our candidates increases the chances of detecting transit timing variations at long timescales. Selected candidates will be observed by the future NASA flagship mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, in its search for Galactic bulge microlensing events, which will further enhance the photometric coverage of these stars. | 9 |
We study the optical flux and polarization variability of the binary black hole blazar OJ 287 using quasi-simultaneous observations from 2015 to 2023 carried out using telescopes in the USA, Japan, Russia, Crimea, and Bulgaria. This is one of the most extensive quasi-simultaneous optical flux and polarization variability studies of OJ 287. OJ 287 showed large amplitude, ~3.0 mag flux variability, large changes of ~37% in degree of polarization, and a large swing of ~215° in the angle of the electric vector of polarization. During the period of observation, several flares in flux were detected. Those flares are correlated with a rapid increase in the degree of polarization and swings in electric vector of polarization angle. A peculiar behavior of anticorrelation between flux and polarization degree, accompanied by a nearly constant polarization angle, was detected from JD 2,458,156 to JD 2,458,292. We briefly discuss some explanations for the flux and polarization variations observed in OJ 287. | 9 |

Studies of exoplanet demographics require large samples and precise constraints on exoplanet host stars. Using the homogeneous Kepler stellar properties derived using the Gaia Data Release 2 by Berger et al., we recompute Kepler planet radii and incident fluxes and investigate their distributions with stellar mass and age. We measure the stellar mass dependence of the planet radius valley to be $d\mathrm{log}{R}_{{\rm{p}}}$ / $d\mathrm{log}{M}_{\star }$ = ${0.26}_{-0.16}^{+0.21}$ , consistent with the slope predicted by a planet mass dependence on stellar mass (0.24-0.35) and core-powered mass loss (0.33). We also find the first evidence of a stellar age dependence of the planet populations straddling the radius valley. Specifically, we determine that the fraction of super-Earths (1-1.8 ${R}_{\oplus }$ ) to sub-Neptunes (1.8-3.5 ${R}_{\oplus }$ ) increases from 0.61 ± 0.09 at young ages (<1 Gyr) to 1.00 ± 0.10 at old ages (>1 Gyr), consistent with the prediction by core-powered mass loss that the mechanism shaping the radius valley operates over Gyr timescales. Additionally, we find a tentative decrease in the radii of relatively cool (F<SUB>p</SUB> < 150 ${F}_{\oplus }$ ) sub-Neptunes over Gyr timescales, which suggests that these planets may possess H/He envelopes instead of higher mean molecular weight atmospheres. We confirm the existence of planets within the hot sub-Neptunian "desert" (2.2 R<SUB>⊕</SUB> < R<SUB>p</SUB> < 3.8 ${R}_{\oplus }$ , F<SUB>p</SUB> > 650 ${F}_{\oplus }$ ) and show that these planets are preferentially orbiting more evolved stars compared to other planets at similar incident fluxes. In addition, we identify candidates for cool (F<SUB>p</SUB> < 20 ${F}_{\oplus }$ ) inflated Jupiters, present a revised list of habitable zone candidates, and find that the ages of single and multiple transiting planet systems are statistically indistinguishable. | 9 |
