Context. The orbit of the giant planet discovered around β Pic is slightly inclined with respect to the outer parts of the debris disc, which creates a warp in the inner debris disc. This inclination might be explained by gravitational interactions with other planets. <BR /> Aims: We aim to search for additional giant planets located at smaller angular separations from the star. <BR /> Methods: We used the new L'-band AGPM coronagraph on VLT/NACO, which provides an exquisite inner working angle. A long observing sequence was obtained on β Pic in pupil-tracking mode. To derive sensitivity limits, the collected images were processed using a principal-component analysis technique specifically tailored to angular differential imaging. <BR /> Results: No additional planet is detected down to an angular separation of 0.''2with a sensitivity better than 5 M<SUB>Jup</SUB>. Meaningful upper limits (<10 M<SUB>Jup</SUB>) are derived down to an angular separation of 0.''1, which corresponds to 2 AU at the distance of β Pic. | 9 |

Expanding X-ray halo or rings appear when short pulses of X-ray radiation from a background source are scattered by clouds of dust in the Milky Way. We study the X-ray rings of the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A, detected by the {\it Swift} X-Ray Telescope. The rings center on the GRB position and their angular radii increase with time. We identify five major expanding rings, and our modeling of their expansion history suggests that they are scattered off, respectively, from five dusty clouds at distances of 0.4-13 kpc from the observer. Given an assumed prompt X-ray fluence of this GRB, the fluxes of those rings suggest that these clouds have dust grain column densities of $10^{7\sim8}~\mathrm{cm^{-2}}$. More interestingly, our time-dependent spectral analysis of these rings show that they all experience spectral softening, i.e., getting softer as they expand, with spectral indices ranging from 2.2 to 5, consistent with what the dust scattering model predicts. | 9 |

the invention relates to a chronic articular inflammation - modulating composition which uses collagen - polyvinylpyrrolidone . collagen turnover is modulated using collagen - pvp in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis , since the biocomplex negatively regulates collagenolytic activity and increases the content of type iii collagen and timp - 1 to levels similar to those observed in normal synovia . in this way , the chronic inflammatory process is altered by the collagen - pvp , as described above , owing to the negative regulation of il - 1β , the tnf - α of il - 8 and the adhesion molecules , since said molecules can induce the expression and activation of collagenolytic enzymes , as well as the proliferation and migration of synovial cells by means of the adhesive mechanisms including the adhesion molecules , and the induction and activation of cox - 1 . in addition to cellular anchoring , the interaction of the extracellular matrix integrins generates signals which regulate the expression of m mps , suggesting that the adhesion molecules can also play a part in tissue destruction associated with rheumatoid arthritis . moreover , the decrease in the synthesis of tnf - α and il - 1β appears to stimulate the cell death of synoviocytes by means of apoptosis , which , in turn , seems to contribute to the inhibition of the proliferation of synovial cells , the formation of pannus and the destruction of the articular tissue . | 0 |

We have detected a 12 M {}<SUB>{Jup</SUB>} planet orbiting in or near the habitable zone of a main-sequence A star via the pulsational phase shifts induced by orbital motion. The planet has an orbital period of 840 ± 20 days and an eccentricity of 0.15. All known planets orbiting main-sequence A stars have been found via the transit method or by direct imaging. The absence of astrometric or radial velocity detections of planets around these hosts makes ours the first discovery using the orbital motion. It is also the first A star known to host a planet within 1σ of the habitable zone. We find evidence for planets in a large fraction of the parameter space where we are able to detect them. This supports the idea that A stars harbor high-mass planets in wide orbits. | 9 |
We present a performance test of the point-spread function (PSF) deconvolution algorithm applied to astronomical integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy data for restoration of galaxy kinematics. We deconvolve the IFU data by applying the Lucy-Richardson algorithm to the 2D image slice at each wavelength. We demonstrate that the algorithm can effectively recover the true stellar kinematics of the galaxy, by using mock IFU data with a diverse combination of surface brightness profile, signal-to-noise ratio, line-of-sight geometry, and line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD). In addition, we show that the proxy of the spin parameter ${\lambda }_{{R}_{e}}$ can be accurately measured from the deconvolved IFU data. We apply the deconvolution algorithm to the actual SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU survey data. The 2D LOSVD, geometry, and ${\lambda }_{{R}_{e}}$ measured from the deconvolved MaNGA IFU data exhibit noticeable differences compared to the ones measured from the original IFU data. The method can be applied to any other regular-grid IFU data to extract the PSF-deconvolved spatial information. | 9 |

Strong gravitational lensing provides a natural opportunity to test general relativity (GR). We propose a model-independent method for simultaneous constraining on Hubble constant (H<SUB>0</SUB>) and post-Newtonian parameter (γ<SUB>PPN</SUB>) using strong lensing systems and observational Type Ia supernovae. The time-delay measurements from strong lensing can directly determine the Hubble constant, and the lens distance inferred from the spectroscopic measurement of the stellar kinematics of the deflector galaxy can help us to constrain the post-Newtonian parameter. We seek the Pantheon data set and reconstruct unanchored distances using Gaussian process regression to achieve the cosmological-model-independent GR testing instead of assuming a specific model, which can reduce possible bias on GR testing and measurement of Hubble constant. Combining the reconstructed unanchored distances and the four H0LiCOW lens data sets, our results are $H_0=72.9^{+2.0}_{-2.3} \, \mathrm{km \, s^{-1} \, Mpc^{-1}}$ and $\gamma _{\rm {PPN}}=0.89^{+0.17}_{-0.15}$. All the lenses show that there is no obvious evidence to support GR deviation within observational uncertainties. In the subsequent analysis, we consider a ratio of distance ${D_{\Delta t}}/{D^{^{\prime }}_{\mathrm{ d}}}$ method to further avoid the influence of H<SUB>0</SUB> on GR testing. The results show that, except J1206 within the ~1.2σ observational uncertainty, the remaining three lenses support that GR holds within the 1σ observational uncertainties. | 9 |

In recent years, direct detection, indirect detection, and collider experiments have placed increasingly stringent constraints on particle dark matter, exploring much of the parameter space associated with the WIMP paradigm. In this paper, we focus on the subset of WIMP models in which the dark matter annihilates in the early universe through couplings to either the Standard Model Z or the Standard Model Higgs boson. Considering fermionic, scalar, and vector dark matter candidates within a model-independent context, we find that the overwhelming majority of these dark matter candidates are already ruled out by existing experiments. In the case of Z mediated dark matter, the only scenarios that are not currently excluded are those in which the dark matter is a fermion with an axial coupling and with a mass either within a few GeV of the Z resonance (m<SUB>DM</SUB> simeq m<SUB>Z</SUB>/2) or greater than 200 GeV, or with a vector coupling and with m<SUB>DM</SUB> > 6 TeV . Several Higgs mediated scenarios are currently viable if the mass of the dark matter is near the Higgs pole (m<SUB>DM</SUB> simeq m<SUB>H</SUB>/2). Otherwise, the only scenarios that are not excluded are those in which the dark matter is a scalar (vector) heavier than 400 GeV (1160 GeV) with a Higgs portal coupling, or a fermion with a pseudoscalar (CP violating) coupling to the Standard Model Higgs boson. With the exception of dark matter with a purely pseudoscalar coupling to the Higgs, it is anticipated that planned direct detection experiments will probe nearly the entire range of models considered in this study. | 9 |

With a scheduled launch in 2018 October, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to revolutionize the field of atmospheric characterization of exoplanets. The broad wavelength coverage and high sensitivity of its instruments will allow us to extract far more information from exoplanet spectra than what has been possible with current observations. In this paper, we investigate whether current retrieval methods will still be valid in the era of JWST, exploring common approximations used when retrieving transmission spectra of hot Jupiters. To assess biases, we use 1D photochemical models to simulate typical hot Jupiter cloud-free atmospheres and generate synthetic observations for a range of carbon-to-oxygen ratios. Then, we retrieve these spectra using TauREx, a Bayesian retrieval tool, using two methodologies: one assuming an isothermal atmosphere, and one assuming a parameterized temperature profile. Both methods assume constant-with-altitude abundances. We found that the isothermal approximation biases the retrieved parameters considerably, overestimating the abundances by about one order of magnitude. The retrieved abundances using the parameterized profile are usually within 1σ of the true state, and we found the retrieved uncertainties to be generally larger compared to the isothermal approximation. Interestingly, we found that by using the parameterized temperature profile we could place tight constraints on the temperature structure. This opens the possibility of characterizing the temperature profile of the terminator region of hot Jupiters. Lastly, we found that assuming a constant-with-altitude mixing ratio profile is a good approximation for most of the atmospheres under study. | 9 |

The early stages of a galaxy's evolution leave an imprint on its metallicity distribution. We discuss the origins and evolution of radial metallicity gradients in discs of spiral galaxies using an analytical chemical evolution model. We explain how radial metallicity gradients in stellar populations are determined by three factors: the radial metallicity profile of the star-forming interstellar medium (ISM), radial changes in the star formation history (in particular, inside-out formation) and radial mixing of stars. Under reasonable assumptions, inside-out formation steepens the negative ISM metallicity gradient, but contributes positively to the stellar metallicity gradient, up to inverting the metallicity profile to a positive d[Fe/H]/dR. This reconciles steep negative d[Fe/H]/dR in some high-redshift galaxies to generally flatter gradients in local observations. We discuss the evidence for inverse radial metallicity gradients (positive d[X/H]/dR) at high redshifts and the inverse relationship between azimuthal velocity and the metallicity (positive dV<SUB>ϕ</SUB>/d[Fe/H]) of stars for the Milky Way's thick disc. The former can be achieved by high central gas-loss rates and re-distribution processes, e.g. re-accretion of enriched material in conjunction with the inside-out formation and near-disc galactic fountaining. For the Milky Way-thick disc, we show that the positive dV<SUB>ϕ</SUB>/d[Fe/H] correlation points to comparable time-scales for inside-out formation, initial metal enrichment and SNIa enrichment. We argue that the original ISM metallicity gradient could be inferred with better data from the high-metallicity tail of the alpha-enhanced population. Including inside-out formation in our models changes the local vertical metallicity gradient by about -0.2 dex kpc<SUP>-1</SUP>, in line with local measurements. | 9 |

The 'spectral age problem' is our systematic inability to reconcile the maximum cooling time of radiating electrons in the lobes of a radio galaxy with its age as modelled by the dynamical evolution of the lobes. While there are known uncertainties in the models that produce both age estimates, 'spectral' ages are commonly underestimated relative to dynamical ages, consequently leading to unreliable estimates of the time-averaged kinetic feedback of a powerful radio galaxy. In this work, we attempt to solve the spectral age problem by observing two cluster-centre powerful radio galaxies; 3C 320 and 3C 444. With high-resolution broad-band Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations of the radio sources and deep XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of their hot intracluster media, coupled with the use of an analytic model, we robustly determine their spectral and dynamical ages. After finding self-consistent dynamical models that agree with our observational constraints, and accounting for sub-equipartition magnetic fields, we find that our spectral ages are still underestimated by a factor of two at least. Equipartition magnetic fields will underestimate the spectral age by factors of up to ∼20. The turbulent mixing of electron populations in the radio lobes is likely to be the main remaining factor in the spectral age/dynamical age discrepancy, and must be accounted for in the study of large samples of powerful radio galaxies. | 9 |

HyperQueue 0.15.0 Breaking changes NVIDIA GPUs are now automatically detected under the resource name gpus/nvidia, instead of just gpus! If you have been using the gpus resource name, you should update your scripts. See more details below. New features Resource management You can now specify more resources for one task, e.g.: 1 cpu and 1 gpu OR 4 cpus. The scheduler considers both configurations in task planning. For example let us assume that we have many tasks with the mentioned configuration and worker with 16 cpus and 4 gpus. The tasks will fully utilize the node, 4 tasks will run in the configuration with gpu and 3 tasks will run in the cpu only mode. Job Definition File is a TOML file that can define a job. It allows to submit complex jobs without using Python API (dependencies, resource variants, ...). $ hq job submit-file myfile.toml You can now specify (indexed) resource values provided by workers as strings (previously only integers were allowed). Notably, automatic detection of Nvidia GPUs specified with string UUIDs now works. $ hq worker start --resource="res1=[foo, bar]" HyperQueue now provides built-in support for AMD GPUs. For this reason, the default name of GPU resources that are automatically detected on a worker has been changed from gpus to gpus/nvidia for NVIDIA GPUs. AMD GPUs are now autodetected as gpus/amd. In the future, we intend to create a way to ask for any GPU resource (e.g. --resource=gpus=2), regardless of its type. AMD GPUs are now automatically detected in workers from the environment variable ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES. Allowed characters for resource names has been changed. The name now has to begin with an ASCII letter, and it can only contain ASCII letters, ASCII digits and the slash (/) symbol. This restriction is introduced for better alignment with shells, which typically do not support complicated variable names. HQ passes the resource names to executed tasks through environment variables, so it has to take this into account. Note that the / symbol in resource name will be normalized to _ when being passed to a task. hq task info now shows more information Changes Job submission The default path for stdout and stderr files has been changed from %{SUBMIT_DIR}/job-%{JOB_ID}/%{TASK_ID}.[stdout/stderr] to %{CWD}/job-%{JOB_ID}/%{TASK_ID}.[stdout/stderr]. Note that the default value for the working directory (%{CWD}) is set to the submission directory, so if you have used the defaults before, nothing will change for you. Stdout and stderr paths are now also resolved relative to the working directory of the given task, not to the submit directory.

The abundances of carbon, oxygen, and iron in late-type stars are important parameters in exoplanetary and stellar physics, as well as key tracers of stellar populations and Galactic chemical evolution. However, standard spectroscopic abundance analyses can be prone to severe systematic errors, based on the assumption that the stellar atmosphere is one-dimensional (1D) and hydrostatic, and by ignoring departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). In order to address this, we carried out three-dimensional (3D) non-LTE radiative transfer calculations for C I and O I, and 3D LTE radiative transfer calculations for Fe II, across the STAGGER-grid of 3D hydrodynamic model atmospheres. The absolute 3D non-LTE versus 1D LTE abundance corrections can be as severe as - 0.3 dex for C I lines in low-metallicity F dwarfs, and - 0.6 dex for O I lines in high-metallicity F dwarfs. The 3D LTE versus 1D LTE abundance corrections for Fe II lines are less severe, typically less than + 0.15 dex. We used the corrections in a re-analysis of carbon, oxygen, and iron in 187 F and G dwarfs in the Galactic disk and halo. Applying the differential 3D non-LTE corrections to 1D LTE abundances visibly reduces the scatter in the abundance plots. The thick disk and high-α halo population rise in carbon and oxygen with decreasing metallicity, and reach a maximum of [C/Fe] ≈ 0.2 and a plateau of [O/Fe] ≈ 0.6 at [Fe/H] ≈ -1.0. The low-α halo population is qualitatively similar, albeit offset towards lower metallicities and with larger scatter. Nevertheless, these populations overlap in the [C/O] versus [O/H] plane, decreasing to a plateau of [C/O] ≈ -0.6 below [O/H] ≈ -1.0. In the thin-disk, stars having confirmed planet detections tend to have higher values of C/O at given [O/H]; this potential signature of planet formation is only apparent after applying the abundance corrections to the 1D LTE results. Our grids of line-by-line abundance corrections are publicly available and can be readily used to improve the accuracy of spectroscopic analyses of late-type stars. <P />Tables 1-7 are only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/630/A104">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/630/A104</A> | 9 |

Due to their low surface brightness, dwarf galaxies are particularly susceptible to tidal forces. The expected degree of disturbance depends on the assumed gravity law and whether they have a dominant dark halo. This makes dwarf galaxies useful for testing different gravity models. In this project, we use the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) dwarf galaxy catalogue to compare the properties of dwarf galaxies in the Fornax Cluster with those predicted by the Lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) standard model of cosmology and Milgromian dynamics (MOND). We construct a test particle simulation of the Fornax system. We then use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to fit this to the FDS distribution of tidal susceptibility η (half-mass radius divided by theoretical tidal radius), the fraction of dwarfs that visually appear disturbed as a function of η, and the distribution of projected separation from the cluster centre. This allows us to constrain the η value at which dwarfs should get destroyed by tides. Accounting for an r'-band surface brightness limit of 27.8 magnitudes per square arcsec, the required stability threshold is $\eta _{\textrm {destr}} = 0.25^{+0.07}_{-0.03}$ in ΛCDM and $1.88^{+0.85}_{-0.53}$ in MOND. The ΛCDM value is in tension with previous N-body dwarf galaxy simulations, which indicate that η<SUB>destr</SUB> ≈ 1. Our MOND N-body simulations indicate that η<SUB>destr</SUB> = 1.70 ± 0.30, which agrees well with our MCMC analysis of the FDS. We therefore conclude that the observed deformations of dwarf galaxies in the Fornax Cluster and the lack of low surface brightness dwarfs towards its centre are incompatible with ΛCDM expectations but well consistent with MOND. | 9 |
