I report updates to the substellar mass-radius diagram for 11 transiting brown dwarfs (BDs) and low-mass stars published before the third data release from the Gaia mission (Gaia DR3). I re-analyse these transiting BD systems whose physical parameters were published between 2008 and 2019 and find that when using the parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, seven BDs show significant differences in their radius estimate or an improvement in the radius uncertainty. This has important implications for how these BDs are used to test substellar evolutionary models in the mass-radius diagram. The remaining four BDs show mass-radius estimates that are consistent with their previous pre-Gaia DR3 measurements. The seven BDs that show significant deviation from the original mass-radius measurements are AD 3116b, CoRoT-3b, CoRoT-15b, EPIC 201702477b, Kepler-39b, KOI-205b, and KOI-415b. Of these, AD 3116b is a known member of the Praesepe cluster at an age of 600 Myr. Additionally, some of the previously smallest known transiting BDs, KOI-205b and KOI-415b, are not as small as once thought, leaving the mass-radius region for the very oldest BDs relatively sparse as a result of this work. | 9 |

We demonstrate that pairwise peculiar velocity correlations for galaxy clusters can be directly reconstructed from the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signature imprinted in the CMB using a machine learning model with a gradient boosting algorithm trained on high-fidelity kSZ simulations. The machine learning model is trained using six to eight cluster features that are directly related to observables from CMB and large-scale structure surveys. We validate the capabilities of the approach in light of the presence of primary CMB, detector noise, and potential uncertainties in the cluster mass estimate and cluster center location. The pairwise velocity statistics extracted using the techniques developed here have the potential to elicit valuable cosmological constraints on dark energy, modified gravity models, and massive neutrinos with kSZ measurements from upcoming CMB surveys, including the Simons Observatory, CMB-S4 and CCAT, and the DESI and SDSS galaxy surveys. | 9 |
The statistical distributions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), i.e., accreting supermassive black holes (BHs), in mass, space, and time are controlled by a series of key properties, namely, the BH-galaxy scaling relations, Eddington ratio distributions, and fraction of active BH (duty cycle). Shedding light on these properties yields strong constraints on the AGN triggering mechanisms while providing a clear baseline to create useful mock catalogs for the planning of large galaxy surveys. Here we delineate a robust methodology to create mock AGN catalogs built on top of large N-body dark matter simulations via state-of-the-art semiempirical models. We show that by using as independent tests the AGN clustering at fixed X-ray luminosity, galaxy stellar mass, and BH mass, along with the fraction of AGNs in groups and clusters, it is possible to significantly narrow down the choice in the relation between BH mass and host galaxy stellar mass, the duty cycle, and the average Eddington ratio distribution, delivering well-suited constraints to guide cosmological models for the coevolution of BHs and galaxies. Avoiding such a step-by-step methodology inevitably leads to strong degeneracies in the final mock catalogs, severely limiting their usefulness in understanding AGN evolution and in survey planning and testing. | 9 |

Stars of the γ Cas type (γ Cas analogs) belong to a small group of Be stars with a high X-ray luminosity of 10 31 ‑ 10 33 erg/s and an anomalously high temperature of the plasma emitting in the X-ray range of 10–20 keV or more, assuming a completely thermal X-ray emission. The results of the analysis of the optical spectra of γ Cas under the program of observations on the BTA "Line profile variability in the spectra of OBA stars and the nature of their X-ray emission" and the results of a study of the archival X-ray spectra of this star in 2010–2014 based on observations on the XMM-Newton satellite are presented. The variability of the line profiles in the optical spectra and the variability of the X-ray brightness of the γ Cas star on scales from minutes to hours are found. It is assumed that the minute scale variability is associated with high modes of non-radial pulsations of stars of this type. The periods of optical and X-ray variability turned out to be close, which allows us to hypothesize that the wind structure is modulated as a result of non-radial photospheric pulsations. The anomalously hard X-ray emission from such stars can be explained in terms of the contribution of possible non-thermal X-ray emission resulting from Compton backscattering of UV photons by relativistic electrons. | 9 |

Primordial features, in particular oscillatory signals, imprinted in the primordial power spectrum of density perturbations represent a clear window of opportunity for detecting new physics at high-energy scales. Future spectroscopic and photometric measurements from the Euclid space mission will provide unique constraints on the primordial power spectrum, thanks to the redshift coverage and high-accuracy measurement of nonlinear scales, thus allowing us to investigate deviations from the standard power-law primordial power spectrum. We consider two models with primordial undamped oscillations superimposed on the matter power spectrum described by 1 + 𝒜<SUB>X</SUB> sin (ω<SUB>X</SUB>Ξ<SUB>X</SUB> + 2 πϕ<SUB>X</SUB>), one linearly spaced in k space with Ξ<SUB>lin</SUB> ≡ k/k<SUB>*</SUB> where k<SUB>*</SUB> = 0.05 Mpc<SUP>−1</SUP> and the other logarithmically spaced in k space with Ξ<SUB>log</SUB> ≡ ln(k/k<SUB>*</SUB>). We note that 𝒜<SUB>X</SUB> is the amplitude of the primordial feature, ω<SUB>X</SUB> is the dimensionless frequency, and ϕ<SUB>X</SUB> is the normalised phase, where X = {lin, log}. We provide forecasts from spectroscopic and photometric primary Euclid probes on the standard cosmological parameters Ω<SUB>m, 0</SUB>, Ω<SUB>b, 0</SUB>, h, n<SUB>s</SUB>, and σ<SUB>8</SUB>, and the primordial feature parameters 𝒜<SUB>X</SUB>, ω<SUB>X</SUB>, and ϕ<SUB>X</SUB>. We focus on the uncertainties of the primordial feature amplitude 𝒜<SUB>X</SUB> and on the capability of Euclid to detect primordial features at a given frequency. We also study a nonlinear density reconstruction method in order to retrieve the oscillatory signals in the primordial power spectrum, which are damped on small scales in the late-time Universe due to cosmic structure formation. Finally, we also include the expected measurements from Euclid's galaxy-clustering bispectrum and from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We forecast uncertainties in estimated values of the cosmological parameters with a Fisher matrix method applied to spectroscopic galaxy clustering (GC<SUB>sp</SUB>), weak lensing (WL), photometric galaxy clustering (GC<SUB>ph</SUB>), the cross correlation (XC) between GC<SUB>ph</SUB> and WL, the spectroscopic galaxy clustering bispectrum, the CMB temperature and E-mode polarisation, the temperature-polarisation cross correlation, and CMB weak lensing. We consider two sets of specifications for the Euclid probes (pessimistic and optimistic) and three different CMB experiment configurations, that is, Planck, Simons Observatory (SO), and CMB Stage-4 (CMB-S4). We find the following percentage relative errors in the feature amplitude with Euclid primary probes: for the linear (logarithmic) feature model, with a fiducial value of 𝒜<SUB>X</SUB> = 0.01, ω<SUB>X</SUB> = 10, and ϕ<SUB>X</SUB> = 0: 21% (22%) in the pessimistic settings and 18% (18%) in the optimistic settings at a 68.3% confidence level (CL) using GC<SUB>sp</SUB>+WL+GC<SUB>ph</SUB>+XC. While the uncertainties on the feature amplitude are strongly dependent on the frequency value when single Euclid probes are considered, we find robust constraints on 𝒜<SUB>X</SUB> from the combination of spectroscopic and photometric measurements over the frequency range of (1, 10<SUP>2.1</SUP>). Due to the inclusion of numerical reconstruction, the GC<SUB>sp</SUB> bispectrum, SO-like CMB reduces the uncertainty on the primordial feature amplitude by 32%-48%, 50%-65%, and 15%-50%, respectively. Combining all the sources of information explored expected from Euclid in combination with the future SO-like CMB experiment, we forecast 𝒜<SUB>lin</SUB> ≃ 0.010 ± 0.001 at a 68.3% CL and 𝒜<SUB>log</SUB> ≃ 0.010 ± 0.001 for GC<SUB>sp</SUB>(PS rec + BS)+WL+GC<SUB>ph</SUB>+XC+SO-like for both the optimistic and pessimistic settings over the frequency range (1, 10<SUP>2.1</SUP>). <P />This paper is published on behalf of the Euclid Consortium. | 9 |

We present numerical computations and analytic scaling relations for interstellar ion-molecule gas-phase chemistry down to very low metallicities (10<SUP>-3</SUP> × solar), and/or up to high driving ionization rates. Relevant environments include the cool interstellar medium (ISM) in low-metallicity dwarf galaxies, early enriched clouds at the reionization and Pop-II star formation era, and in dense cold gas exposed to intense X-ray or cosmic ray sources. We focus on the behaviour for H<SUB>2</SUB>, CO, CH, OH, H<SUB>2</SUB>O and O<SUB>2</SUB>, at gas temperatures ∼100 K, characteristic of a cooled ISM at low metallicities. We consider shielded or partially shielded one-zone gas parcels, and solve the gas-phase chemical rate equations for the steady-state `metal-molecule abundances for a wide range of ionization parameters, ζ/n, and metallicties, Z <SUP>'</SUP>. We find that the OH abundances are always maximal near the H-to-H<SUB>2</SUB> conversion points, and that large OH abundances persist at very low metallicities even when the hydrogen is predominantly atomic. We study the OH/O<SUB>2</SUB>, C/CO and OH/CO abundance ratios, from large to small, as functions of ζ/n and Z <SUP>'</SUP>. Much of the cold dense ISM for the Pop-II generation may have been OH-dominated and atomic rather than CO-dominated and molecular. | 9 |

Black hole binaries formed dynamically in globular clusters are believed to be one of the main sources of gravitational waves in the Universe. Here, we use our new population synthesis code, cBHBd, to determine the redshift evolution of the merger rate density and masses of black hole binaries formed in globular clusters. We simulate ∼2 million models to explore the parameter space that is relevant to real globular clusters and overall mass scales. We show that when uncertainties on the initial cluster mass function and their initial half-mass density are properly taken into account, they become the two dominant factors in setting the theoretical error bars on merger rates. Uncertainties in other model parameters (e.g., natal kicks, black hole masses, and metallicity) have virtually no effect on the local merger rate density, although they affect the masses of the merging black holes. Modeling the merger rate density as a function of redshift as R (z )=R<SUB>0</SUB>(1<SUP>+z ) κ</SUP> at z <2 , and marginalizing over uncertainties, we find: R<SUB>0</SUB>=7. 2<SUB>-5.5</SUB><SUP>+21.5</SUP> Gpc<SUP>-3</SUP> yr<SUP>-1</SUP> and κ =1. 6<SUB>-0.6</SUB><SUP>+0.4</SUP> (90% credibility). The rate parameters for binaries that merge inside the clusters are R<SUB>0 ,in</SUB>=1. 6<SUB>-1.0</SUB><SUP>+1.9</SUP> Gpc<SUP>-3</SUP> yr<SUP>-1</SUP> and κ<SUB>in</SUB>=2. 3<SUB>-1.0</SUB><SUP>+1.3</SUP>; ∼20 % of these form as the result of a gravitational-wave capture, implying that eccentric mergers from globular clusters contribute ≲0.4 Gpc<SUP>-3</SUP> yr<SUP>-1</SUP> to the local rate. A comparison to the merger rate reported by Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory-Virgo shows that a scenario in which most of the detected black hole mergers are formed in globular clusters is consistent with current constraints and requires initial cluster half-mass densities ≳10<SUP>4</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> pc<SUP>-3</SUP> . Interestingly, these models also reproduce the inferred black hole mass function in the range 13 - 30 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> . However, all models underpredict the data outside this range, suggesting that other mechanisms might be responsible for the formation of these sources. | 9 |
The OB stars are selected from the Gaia DR2 catalog to explore the flare and warp of the Galactic disk in this work. The Gaia and 2MASS photometric information is adopted as the criteria to choose the sample stars. We model the Galactic disk stellar distribution in this work taking the flare and warp into consideration. The parameters in the flare and warp model are acquired directly by fitting the stars with the stellar distribution function of the disk. We obtain that the scale length of the Galactic disk in space density is 2.10 ± 0.01 kpc. We find that the disk scale height increases with Galactic radius via fitting our sample stars perpendicular to the Galactic plane. The scale height of OB stars increases more moderately than old stellar populations in the disk. It is also concluded that the inner disk is flat and begins to warp at about 9 kpc away from Galactic center. The warp amplitude of OB stars is similar to pulsars and slowly increases along the Galactic radius. | 9 |
We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the dust continuum and [C II] 158 μm fine structure line emission toward a far-infrared-luminous quasar, ULAS J131911.29+095051.4 at z = 6.13, and combine the new Cycle 1 data with ALMA Cycle 0 data. The combined data have an angular resolution of ∼0.″3, and resolve both the dust continuum and the [C II] line emission on a few kiloparsec scales. The [C II] line emission is more irregular than that of the dust continuum emission, which suggests different distributions between the dust and the [C II]-emitting gas. The combined data confirm the [C II] velocity gradient that we had previously detected in a lower-resolution ALMA image from the Cycle 0 data alone. We apply a tilted ring model to the [C II] velocity map to obtain a rotation curve, and constrain the circular velocity to be 427 ± 55 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> at a radius of 3.2 kpc with an inclination angle of 34°. We measure the dynamical mass within the 3.2 kpc region to be {13.4}<SUB>-5.3</SUB><SUP>+7.8</SUP> × {10}<SUP>10</SUP> {M}<SUB>⊙ </SUB>. This yields a black-hole and host galaxy mass ratio of {0.020}<SUB>-0.007</SUB><SUP>+0.013</SUP>, which is about {4}<SUB>-2</SUB><SUP>+3</SUP> times higher than that of the present-day {M}<SUB>BH</SUB>}/{M}<SUB>bulge</SUB>} ratio. This suggests that the supermassive black hole grows the bulk of its mass before the formation of most of the stellar mass in this quasar host galaxy in the early universe. | 9 |

This repository provides a practical implementation in Matlab of the multi-fidelity strategy (MuFi-p) presented in Guerrero-Hurtado et al (2023) to reduce the computational cost of simulations of coagulation cascade in CFD simulations. The multi-fidelity strategy leverages the slow dynamics of molecular diffusion in the coagulation cascade to transform the system of N-PDEs that govern the advection-reaction-diffusion process into a system of p-PDEs for the residence time and its (p-1) statistical moments and N-ODEs for the species concentration as functions of the residence time. The codes provided here consider the same simplified geometry used in Guerrero-Hurtado et al (2023) to test and validate the MuFi model: an idealized 2D aneurism subject to a pulsating flow, with a coagulation cascade model involving N=9 species. The file Readme.txt contains a brief explanation on how to use the different scripts and functions. More details about the geometry of the idealized aneurism, the mathematical foundation of the MuFi model, or the numerical methods employed to integrate the advection-reaction-diffusion equations (the HiFi model) or the residence time (for the MuFi model) can be found in Guerrero-Hurtado et al (2023). | 9 |
a bounce - and weld - resistant contact assembly includes a pair of spaced contact plates with facing contacts on their ends . a switch blade is rapidly movable into and out of engagement with the contacts . the contacts are convexities coined into the plates which add no mass to the plates . thus , the natural frequency of the plates is maximized and the magnitude of oscillation of the plates , when the contacts are rapidly engaged by the blade , is minimized . legs on leaf springs act against concavities formed in the plates opposite the convexities . the legs conformally nestle in the convexities so that their frictional engagement therewith and the spring force co - act to quickly damp the high frequency , low magnitude oscillations of the plates . the low mass coined contacts also permit close spacing of the plates to maximize magnetic forces thereon due to current flow therethrough . these forces aid the spring and the leg - concavity friction in quickly damping oscillations of the plates . | 7 |

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is one of the recent probes of cosmology and large-scale structures. We update constraints on cosmological parameters from galaxy clusters observed by the Planck satellite in a first attempt to combine cluster number counts and the power spectrum of hot gas; we used a new value of the optical depth and, at the same time, sampling on cosmological and scaling-relation parameters. We find that in the ΛCDM model, the addition of a tSZ power spectrum provides small improvements with respect to number counts alone, leading to the 68% c.l. constraints Ω<SUB>m</SUB> = 0.32 ± 0.02, σ<SUB>8</SUB> = 0.76 ± 0.03, and σ<SUB>8</SUB>(Ω<SUB>m</SUB>/0.3)<SUP>1/3</SUP> = 0.78 ± 0.03 and lowering the discrepancy with results for cosmic microwave background (CMB) primary anisotropies (updated with the new value of τ) to ≃1.8σ on σ<SUB>8</SUB>. We analysed extensions to the standard model, considering the effect of massive neutrinos and varying the equation of state parameter for dark energy. In the first case, we find that the addition of the tSZ power spectrum helps in improving cosmological constraints with respect to number count alone results, leading to the 95% upper limit ∑ m<SUB>ν</SUB> < 1.88 eV. For the varying dark energy equation of state scenario, we find no important improvements when adding tSZ power spectrum, but still the combination of tSZ probes is able to provide constraints, producing w = -1.0 ± 0.2. In all cosmological scenarios, the mass bias to reconcile CMB and tSZ probes remains low at (1 - b) ≲ 0.67 as compared to estimates from weak lensing and X-ray mass estimate comparisons or numerical simulations. | 9 |

M dwarf stars provide us with an ideal opportunity to study nearby small planets. The HUMDRUM (HUnting for M Dwarf Rocky planets Using MAROON-X) survey uses the MAROON-X spectrograph, which is ideally suited to studying these stars, to measure precise masses of a volume-limited ($<\,30$ pc) sample of transiting M dwarf planets. TOI-1450 is a nearby (22.5 pc) binary system containing a M3 dwarf with a roughly 3000 K companion. Its primary star, TOI-1450A, was identified by $TESS$ to have a 2.04d transit signal, and is included in the HUMDRUM sample. In this paper, we present MAROON-X radial velocities which confirm the planetary nature of this signal and measure its mass at a nearly 10% precision. The 2.04d planet, TOI-1450Ab, has $R_b\,=\,1.13\,\pm\,0.04\,R_\oplus$ and $M_b\,=\,1.26\,\pm\,0.13\,M_\oplus$. It is the second-lowest-mass transiting planet with a high-precision RV mass measurement. With this mass and radius, the planet's mean density is compatible with an Earth-like composition. Given its short orbital period and slightly sub-Earth density, it may be amenable to $JWST$ follow-up to test whether the planet has retained an atmosphere despite extreme heating from the nearby star. We also discover a non-transiting planet in the system with a period of 5.07 days and a $M\mathrm{sin}i_c\,=\,1.53\,\pm\,0.18\,M_\oplus$. We also find a 2.01d signal present in the systems's $TESS$ photometry that likely corresponds to the rotation period of TOI-1450A's binary companion, TOI-1450B. TOI-1450A, meanwhile, appears to have a rotation period of approximately 40 days, which is in-line with our expectations for a mid-M dwarf. | 9 |
Context. Asteroseismology, a powerful approach for obtaining internal structure and stellar properties, requires surface temperature and chemical composition information to determine mass and age. High-resolution spectroscopy is a valuable technique for precise stellar parameters (including surface temperature) and for an analysis of the chemical composition. <BR /> Aims: We combine spectroscopic parameters with asteroseismology to test stellar models. <BR /> Methods: Using high-resolution optical and near-IR spectra from GIARPS at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, we conducted a detailed spectroscopic analysis of 16 stars that were photometrically selected to be on the red giant and red clump branch. Stellar parameters and chemical abundances for light elements (Li, C, N, and F), Fe peak, α and n-capture elements were derived using a combination of equivalent widths and spectral synthesis techniques based on atomic and molecular features. Ages were determined through asteroseismic scaling relations and were compared with ages based on chemical clocks, [Y/Mg] and [C/N]. <BR /> Results: The spectroscopic parameters confirmed that the stars are part of the red giant branch and red clump. Two objects, HD 22045 and HD 24680, exhibit relatively high Li abundances, and HD 24680 might be a Li-rich giant resulting from mass transfer with an intermediate-mass companion that already underwent its asymptotic giant branch phase. The stellar parameters derived from scaling different sets of relations were consistent with each other. The values based on asteroseismology for the ages agree excellently with those derived from theoretical evolutionary tracks, but they disagree with ages derived from the chemical clocks [Y/Mg] and [C/N]. <P />Stellar parameters, abundances, and tables of equivalent widths for each of the stars are 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/684/A85">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/684/A85</A> <P />Based on observations made with the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) operated on the island of La Palma by the Fundación Galileo Galilei of the INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica) at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. | 9 |
We measure the projected two-point correlation function of galaxies in the 180 deg<SUP>2</SUP> equatorial regions of the GAMA II survey, for four different redshift slices between z = 0.0 and 0.5. To do this, we further develop the Cole method of producing suitable random catalogues for the calculation of correlation functions. We find that more r-band luminous, more massive and redder galaxies are more clustered. We also find that red galaxies have stronger clustering on scales less than ∼3 h<SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc. We compare to two different versions of the GALFORM galaxy formation model, Lacey et al. (in preparation) and Gonzalez-Perez et al., and find that the models reproduce the trend of stronger clustering for more massive galaxies. However, the models underpredict the clustering of blue galaxies, can incorrectly predict the correlation function on small scales and underpredict the clustering in our sample of galaxies with {∼ } 3 L<SUB>r</SUB>^*. We suggest possible avenues to explore to improve these clustering predictions. The measurements presented in this paper can be used to test other galaxy formation models, and we make the measurements available online to facilitate this. | 9 |
