We present results on the clustering of 282 068 galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) sample of massive galaxies with redshifts 0.4 < z < 0.7 which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III project. Our results cover a large range of scales from ∼500 to ∼90 h<SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc. We compare these estimates with the expectations of the flat Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) standard cosmological model with parameters compatible with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 7 data. We use the MultiDark cosmological simulation, one of the largest N-body runs presently available, together with a simple halo abundance matching technique, to estimate galaxy correlation functions, power spectra, abundance of subhaloes and galaxy biases. We find that the ΛCDM model gives a reasonable description to the observed correlation functions at z ≈ 0.5, which is remarkably good agreement considering that the model, once matched to the observed abundance of BOSS galaxies, does not have any free parameters. However, we find a ≳10 per cent deviation in the correlation functions for scales ≲ 1 and ∼10-40 h<SUP>-1</SUP> Mpc. A more realistic abundance matching model and better statistics from upcoming observations are needed to clarify the situation. We also estimate that about 12 per cent of the `galaxies' in the abundance-matched sample are satellites inhabiting central haloes with mass M ≳ 10<SUP>14</SUP> h<SUP>-1</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. Using the MultiDark simulation, we also study the real-space halo bias b of the matched catalogue finding that b = 2.00 ± 0.07 at large scales, consistent with the one obtained using the measured BOSS-projected correlation function. Furthermore, the linear large-scale bias, defined using the extrapolated linear matter power spectrum, depends on the number density n of the abundance-matched sample as b = -0.048 - (0.594 ± 0.02)log<SUB>10</SUB>(n/ h<SUP>3</SUP> Mpc<SUP>-3</SUP>). Extrapolating these results to baryon acoustic oscillation scales, we measure a scale-dependent damping of the acoustic signal produced by non-linear evolution that leads to ∼2-4 per cent dips at ≳ 3σ level for wavenumbers k ≳ 0.1 h Mpc<SUP>-1</SUP> in the linear large-scale bias. | 9 |

<BR /> Aims: Our goal is to study molecular gas properties in nuclei and large scale outflows/winds from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and starburst galaxies. <BR /> Methods: We obtained high resolution (0.̋25 to 0.̋90) observations of HCN and HCO<SUP>+</SUP>J = 3 → 2 of the ultraluminous QSO galaxy Mrk 231 with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI). <BR /> Results: We find luminous HCN and HCO<SUP>+</SUP>J = 3 → 2 emission in the main disk and we detect compact (r ≲ 0''̣1 (90 pc)) vibrationally excited HCN J = 3 → 2ν<SUB>2</SUB> = 1f emission centred on the nucleus. The velocity field of the vibrationally excited HCN is strongly inclined (position angle PA = 155°) compared to the east-west rotation of the main disk. The nuclear (r ≲ 0.̋1) molecular mass is estimated to 8 × 10<SUP>8</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> with an average N(H<SUB>2</SUB>) of 1.2 × 10<SUP>24</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP>. Prominent, spatially extended (≳350 pc) line wings are found for HCN J = 3 → 2 with velocities up to ± 750 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>. Line ratios indicate that the emission is emerging in dense gas n = 10<SUP>4</SUP>-5 × 10<SUP>5</SUP> cm<SUP>-3</SUP> of elevated HCN abundance X(HCN) = 10<SUP>-8</SUP>-10<SUP>-6</SUP>. The highest X(HCN) also allows for the emission to originate in gas of more moderate density. We tentatively detect nuclear emission from the reactive ion HOC<SUP>+</SUP> with HCO<SUP>+</SUP>/HOC<SUP>+</SUP> = 10-20. <BR /> Conclusions: The HCN ν<SUB>2</SUB> = 1f line emission is consistent with the notion of a hot, dusty, warped inner disk of Mrk 231 where the ν<SUB>2</SUB> = 1f line is excited by bright mid-IR 14 μm continuum. We estimate the vibrational temperature T<SUB>vib</SUB> to 200-400 K. Based on relative source sizes we propose that 50% of the main HCN emission may have its excitation affected by the radiation field through IR pumping of the vibrational ground state. The HCN emission in the line wings, however, is more extended and thus likely not strongly affected by IR pumping. Our results reveal that dense clouds survive (and/or are formed) in the AGN outflow on scales of at least several hundred pc before evaporating or collapsing. The elevated HCN abundance in the outflow is consistent with warm chemistry possibly related to shocks and/or X-ray irradiated gas. An upper limit to the mass and momentum flux is 4 × 10<SUP>8</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB> and 12L<SUB>AGN</SUB>/c, respectively, and we discuss possible driving mechanisms for the dense outflow. <P />Based on observations carried out with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer.

Direct imaging observations of planets revealed that wide-orbit (>10 au) giant planets exist even around subsolar-metallicity host stars and do not require metal-rich environments for their formation. A possible formation mechanism of wide-orbit giant planets in subsolar-metallicity environments is the gravitational fragmentation of massive protoplanetary discs. Here, we follow the long-term evolution of the disc for 1 Myr after its formation, which is comparable to disc lifetime, by way of a two-dimensional thin-disc hydrodynamic simulation with the metallicity of 0.1 $\rm {Z}_{\odot }$. We find a giant protoplanet that survives until the end of the simulation. The protoplanet is formed by the merger of two gaseous clumps at ~0.5 Myr after disc formation, and then it orbits ~200 au from the host star for ~0.5 Myr. The protoplanet's mass is ~10 M<SUB>J</SUB> at birth and gradually decreases to 1 M<SUB>J</SUB> due to the tidal effect from the host star. The result provides the minimum mass of 1 M<SUB>J</SUB> for the protoplanet in our simulation. We anticipate that the mass of a protoplanet experiencing reduced mass loss thanks to the protoplanetary contraction in higher resolution simulations can increase to ~10 M<SUB>J</SUB>. We argue that the disc gravitational fragmentation would be a promising pathway to form wide-orbit giant planets with masses of ≥1 M<SUB>J</SUB> in subsolar-metallicity environments. | 9 |

Context. We present the results for the in-flight radiometric calibration performed for the Visible Light (VL) channel of the Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter. <BR /> Aims: The radiometric calibration is a fundamental step in building the official pipeline of the instrument, devoted to producing the calibrated data in physical units (L2 data). <BR /> Methods: To obtain the radiometric calibration factor (ϵ<SUB>VL</SUB>), we used stellar targets transiting the Metis field of view. We derived ϵ<SUB>VL</SUB>by determining the signal of each calibration star by means of the aperture photometry and calculating its expected flux in the Metis band pass. The analyzed data set covers the time range from the beginning of the Cruise Phase of the mission (June 2020) until March 2021. <BR /> Results: Considering the uncertainties, the estimated factor ϵ<SUB>VL</SUB>is in a good agreement with that obtained during the on-ground calibration campaign. This implies that up to March 2021 there was no measurable reduction in the VL channel throughput. Finally, we compared the total and polarized brightness visible light images of the solar corona acquired with Metis and STEREO-A/COR2 during the November 2020 superior conjunction of these instruments. A general good agreement was obtained between the images of these instruments for both the total and polarized brightness. | 9 |

New observations suggest that ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs)—the least luminous systems bound by dark matter halos (≲ {10}<SUP>5</SUP> {L}<SUB>⊙ </SUB>)—may have formed before reionization. The extrapolated virial masses today are uncertain, with estimates ranging from 10<SUP>8</SUP> {M}<SUB>⊙ </SUB> to as high as 10<SUP>9</SUP> {M}<SUB>⊙ </SUB> depending on the assumed form of the underlying potential. We show that the progenitor halo masses of UFDs can, in principle, be as low as {M}<SUB>{vir</SUB>} ≈ 10<SUP>7</SUP> {M}<SUB>⊙ </SUB>. Under the right conditions, such a halo can survive the energy input of a supernova (SN) and its radiative progenitor. A clumpy (fractal) medium is much less susceptible to both internal and external injections of energy. It is less prone to SN sweeping (particularly if it is off-centered) because the coupling efficiency of the explosive energy is much lower than for a diffuse interstellar medium. With the aid of the 3D hydro/ionization code Fyris, we show that sufficient baryons are retained to form stars following a single SN event in dark matter halos down to {M}<SUB>{vir</SUB>} ≈ 10<SUP>7</SUP> {M}<SUB>⊙ </SUB> in the presence of radiative cooling. In these models, the gas survives the SN explosion, is enriched with the specific abundance yields of the discrete events, and reaches surface densities where low-mass stars can form. Our highest-resolution simulations reveal why cooling is so effective in retaining gas compared to any other factor. In the early stages, the super-hot metal-enriched SN ejecta exhibit strong cooling, leading to much of the explosive energy being lost. Consistent with earlier work, the baryons do not survive in smooth or adiabatic models in the event of an SN. The smallest galaxies may not contribute a large fraction of matter to the formation of galaxies, but they carry signatures of the earliest epochs of star formation, as we show. These signatures may allow us to distinguish a small primordial galaxy from one that was stripped down to its present size through tidal interaction. We discuss these results in the context of local UFDs and damped Lyα systems (z ∼ 2) at very low metallicity ([Fe/H] ∼ -3). We show that both classes of objects are consistent with primordial low-mass systems that have experienced only a few enrichment events. | 9 |

The characterization of detached eclipsing binaries with low-mass components has become important when verifying the role of convection in stellar evolutionary models, which requires model-independent measurements of stellar parameters with great precision. However, spectroscopic characterization depends on single-target radial velocity observations and only a few tens of well-studied low-mass systems have been diagnosed in this way. We characterize eclipsing detached systems from the Kepler field with low-mass components by adopting a purely photometric method. Based on an extensive multicolour data set, we derive effective temperatures and photometric masses of individual components using clustering techniques. We also estimate the stellar radii from additional modelling of the available Kepler light curves. Our measurements confirm the presence of an inflation trend in the mass-radius diagram against theoretical stellar models in the low-mass regime. | 9 |

The waves generated by high-energy proton and alpha particles streaming from solar flares into regions of colder plasma are explored using particle-in-cell simulations. Initial distribution functions for the protons and alphas consist of two populations: an energetic, streaming population represented by an anisotropic (T <SUB>∥</SUB> > T <SUB>⊥</SUB>), one-sided kappa function and a cold, Maxwellian background population. The anisotropies and nonzero heat fluxes of these distributions destabilize oblique waves with a range of frequencies below the proton cyclotron frequency. These waves scatter particles out of the tails of the initial distributions along constant-energy surfaces in the wave frame. Overlap of the nonlinear resonance widths allows particles to scatter into near-isotropic distributions by the end of the simulations. The dynamics of <SUP>3</SUP>He are explored using test particles. Their temperatures can increase by a factor of nearly 20. Propagation of such waves into regions above and below the flare site can lead to heating and transport of <SUP>3</SUP>He into the flare acceleration region. The amount of heated <SUP>3</SUP>He that will be driven into the flare site is proportional to the wave energy. Using values from our simulations, we show that the abundance of <SUP>3</SUP>He driven into the acceleration region should approach that of <SUP>4</SUP>He in the corona. Therefore, waves driven by energetic ions produced in flares are a strong candidate to drive the enhancements of <SUP>3</SUP>He observed in impulsive flares. | 9 |
Context. Due to an ill-depicting model of the convective layers below the photosphere in 1D stellar models (structural contribution) and/or a misrepresentation of the coupling between convection and oscillations (modal contribution), a well-known deviation appears between observed and theoretical frequencies, which grows towards high frequencies; the so-called surface effects. While satisfying solutions have been found regarding the structural contribution, the accurate modeling of the modal effect still represents a challenge. Alongside the frequency, the interaction between convection and oscillations also impacts the damping rate of the modes and forms an important part of the driving mechanism behind the stellar oscillations of low-mass stars. With increasing observational capabilities at our disposal with Kepler and TESS, shortcomings in modeling constitute the main limitation to accurate seismic probing of solar-like and red giant stars. <BR /> Aims: We present the formalism of an approach that changes the current paradigm by addressing three-dimensional space. This new formalism consists in an original nonadiabatic 3D time-dependent convection model for asteroseismology. <BR /> Methods: We aim to keep the entire 3D structure of the astrophysical flow in these superficial layers in order to fully account for the nature of turbulence in our model via the use of advanced hydrodynamic simulation. We use the perturbative approach and introduce a spectral decomposition approach that results in an entirely new formalism describing standing waves in 3D. This formalism is set to solve the quasi-radial global nonadiabatic oscillation equations in a full 3D framework. <BR /> Results: Based on physical assumptions, we establish an eigenvalue problem describing the 3D quasi-radial global nonadiabatic stellar oscillation. We also provide a prescription for its numerical resolution alongside a proposed iteration method for our formalism. Finally, we derive the peculiar 3D work integral and establish the expression of the damping rate. We show how our formalism offers the possibility to probe the complex structure of stars and is able to precisely locate regions of the driving and damping of the modes as well as their physical origin. | 9 |

As protostars evolve from optically faint/infrared-bright (Class I) sources to optically bright/infrared-faint (Class II) the solid material in their surrounding disks accumulates into planetesimals and protoplanets. The nearby, young Ophiuchus star-forming region contains hundreds of protostars in a range of evolutionary states. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array to observe their millimeter continuum emission, we have measured masses of, or placed strong upper limits on, the dust content of 279 disks. The masses follow a log-normal distribution with a clear trend of decreasing mass from less to more evolved protostellar infrared class. The (logarithmic) mean Class I disk mass, M = 3.8 M <SUB>⊕</SUB>, is about 5 times greater than the mean Class II disk mass, but the dispersion in each class is so high, σ <SUB>logM </SUB> ≃ 0.8-1, that there is a large overlap between the two distributions. The disk mass distribution of flat-spectrum protostars lies in between Classes I and II. In addition, three Class III sources with little to no infrared excess are detected with low disk masses, M ≃ 0.3 M <SUB>⊕</SUB>. Despite the clear trend of decreasing disk mass with protostellar evolutionary state in this region, a comparison with surveys of Class II disks in other regions shows that masses do not decrease monotonically with age. This suggests that the cloud-scale environment may determine the initial disk mass scale or that there is substantial dust regeneration after 1 Myr. | 9 |

Large potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) are capable of causing a global catastrophe in the event of a planetary collision. Thus, rapid assessment of such an object's physical characteristics is crucial for determining its potential risk scale. We treated the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis as a newly discovered object during its 2020-2021 close approach as part of a mock planetary defense exercise. The object was detected by the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), and data collected by the two active bands (3.4 and 4.6 μm) were analyzed using thermal and thermophysical modeling. Our results indicate that Apophis is an elongated object with an effective spherical diameter D <SUB>eff</SUB> = 340 ± 70 m, a geometric visual albedo p <SUB> V </SUB> =0.31 ± 0.09, and a thermal inertia Γ ~ 150-2850 J m<SUP>-2</SUP> ${{\rm{s}}}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}}$ K<SUP>-1</SUP> with a best-fit value of 550 J m<SUP>-2</SUP> ${{\rm{s}}}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}}$ K<SUP>-1</SUP>. NEOWISE "discovery" observations reveal that (99942) Apophis is a PHA that would likely cause damage at a regional level and not a global one. | 9 |
