We estimate the 21 cm radio background from accretion onto the first intermediate-mass black holes between z ≈ 30 and z ≈ 16. Combining potentially optimistic, but plausible, scenarios for black hole formation and growth with empirical correlations between luminosity and radio emission observed in low-redshift active galactic nuclei, we find that a model of black holes forming in molecular cooling halos is able to produce a 21 cm background that exceeds the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at z ≈ 17, though models involving larger halo masses are not entirely excluded. Such a background could explain the surprisingly large amplitude of the 21 cm absorption feature recently reported by the EDGES collaboration. Such black holes would also produce significant X-ray emission and contribute to the 0.5-2 keV soft X-ray background at the level of ≈10<SUP>-13</SUP>-10<SUP>-12</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP> deg<SUP>-2</SUP>, consistent with existing constraints. In order to avoid heating the intergalactic medium (IGM) over the EDGES trough, these black holes would need to be obscured by hydrogen column depths of N <SUB>H</SUB> ∼ 5 × 10<SUP>23</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP>. Such black holes would avoid violating constraints on the CMB optical depth from Planck if their UV photon escape fractions were below f <SUB>esc</SUB> ≲ 0.1, which would be a natural result of N <SUB>H</SUB> ∼ 5 × 10<SUP>23</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP> being imposed by an unheated IGM. | 9 |

The vast majority of close binaries containing a compact object form through common-envelope (CE) evolution. Despite this importance, we struggle to even understand the energy budget of CE evolution. For decades, observed long-period post-CE binaries have been interpreted as evidence for additional energies to contribute during CE evolution. We have recently shown that this argument is based on simplified assumptions for all long-period post-CE binaries containing massive white dwarfs. The only remaining post-CE binary star that has been claimed to require contributions from additional energy sources to understand its formation is KOI 3278. Here we address in detail the potential evolutionary history of KOI 3278. In particular, we investigated whether extra energy sources, such as recombination energy, are indeed required to explain its existence. We used the 1D stellar evolution code MESA to carry out binary evolution simulations and searched for potential formation pathways for KOI 3278 that are able to explain its observed properties. We found that KOI 3278 can be explained if the white dwarf progenitor filled its Roche lobe during a helium shell flash. In this case, the orbital period of KOI 3278 can be reproduced if the CE binding energy is calculated taking into account gravitational energy and thermodynamic internal energy. While the CE evolution that led to the formation of KOI 3278 must have been efficient, that is, most of the available orbital energy must have been used to unbind the CE, recombination energy is not required. We conclude that currently not a single observed post-CE binary requires to assume energy sources other than gravitational and thermodynamic energy to contribute to CE evolution. KOI 3278, however, remains an intriguing post-CE binary as, unlike its siblings, understanding its existence requires highly efficient CE ejection. | 9 |

We study the general relativistic (GR) effects induced by a spinning supermassive black hole on the orbital and spin evolution of a merging black hole binary (BHB) in a hierarchical triple system. A sufficiently inclined outer orbit can excite Lidov-Kozai eccentricity oscillations in the BHB and induce its merger. These GR effects generate extra precessions on the BHB orbits and spins, significantly increasing the inclination window for mergers and producing a wide range of spin orientations when the BHB enters LIGO band. This “GR-enhanced” channel may play an important role in BHB mergers. | 9 |

Scalar-tensor theories of gravity where a new scalar degree of freedom couples to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant can exhibit the phenomenon of spontaneous black hole scalarization. These theories admit both the classic black hole solutions predicted by general relativity as well as novel hairy black hole solutions. The stability of hairy black holes is strongly dependent on the precise form of the scalar-gravity coupling. A radial stability investigation revealed that all scalarized black hole solutions are unstable when the coupling between the scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant is quadratic in the scalar, whereas stable solutions exist for exponential couplings. Here, we elucidate this behavior. We demonstrate that, while the quadratic term controls the onset of the tachyonic instability that gives rise to the black hole hair, the higher-order coupling terms control the nonlinearities that quench that instability and, hence, also control the stability of the hairy black hole solutions. | 9 |

The production of the heavy stable proton-rich isotopes between <SUP>74</SUP>Se and <SUP>196</SUP>Hg—the p nuclides—is due to the contribution from different nucleosynthesis processes, activated in different types of stars. Whereas these processes have been subject to various studies, their relative contributions to Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) are still a matter of debate. Here we investigate for the first time the nucleosynthesis of p nuclides in GCE by including metallicity and progenitor mass-dependent yields of core-collapse supernovae (ccSNe) into a chemical evolution model. We used a grid of metallicities and progenitor masses from two different sets of stellar yields and followed the contribution of ccSNe to the Galactic abundances as a function of time. In combination with previous studies on p-nucleus production in thermonuclear supernovae (SNIa), and using the same GCE description, this allows us to compare the respective roles of SNeIa and ccSNe in the production of p-nuclei in the Galaxy. The γ process in ccSN is very efficient for a wide range of progenitor masses (13 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>-25 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>) at solar metallicity. Since it is a secondary process with its efficiency depending on the initial abundance of heavy elements, its contribution is strongly reduced below solar metallicity. This makes it challenging to explain the inventory of the p nuclides in the solar system by the contribution from ccSNe alone. In particular, we find that ccSNe contribute less than 10% of the solar p nuclide abundances, with only a few exceptions. Due to the uncertain contribution from other nucleosynthesis sites in ccSNe, such as neutrino winds or α-rich freeze out, we conclude that the light p-nuclides <SUP>74</SUP>Se, <SUP>78</SUP>Kr, <SUP>84</SUP>Sr, and <SUP>92</SUP>Mo may either still be completely or only partially produced in ccSNe. The γ-process accounts for up to twice the relative solar abundances for <SUP>74</SUP>Se in one set of stellar models and <SUP>196</SUP>Hg in the other set. The solar abundance of the heaviest p nucleus <SUP>196</SUP>Hg is reproduced within uncertainties in one set of our models due to photodisintegration of the Pb isotopes <SUP>208,207,206</SUP>Pb. For all other p nuclides, abundances as low as 2% of the solar level were obtained. | 9 |
Context. The accretion histories of embedded protostars are an integral part of descriptions of their physical and chemical evolution. In particular, we want to know whether the accretion rates smoothly decline from earlier to later stages or whether they are in fact characterized by variations such as intermittent bursts. <BR /> Aims: We aim to characterize the impact of possible accretion variations for a sample of embedded protostars by measuring the sizes of the inner regions of their envelopes where CO is sublimated and relate these extents to the temperature profiles dictated by the current luminosities of the protostars. <BR /> Methods: Using observations from the Submillimeter Array we measure the extent of the emission from the C<SUP>18</SUP>O isotopologue toward 16 deeply embedded protostars. We compare these measurements to the predicted extent of the emission given the current luminosities of the sources through dust and line radiative transfer calculations. <BR /> Results: Eight out of sixteen sources show more extended C<SUP>18</SUP>O emission than predicted by the models. The modeling shows that the likely culprit for these signatures is sublimation due to increases in luminosities of the sources by about a factor of five or more during the recent 10 000 yr, i.e., the time it takes for CO to freeze-out again on dust grains. For four of these sources the increase must have been a factor of 10 or more. The compact emission seen toward the other half of the sample suggests that C<SUP>18</SUP>O only sublimates when the temperature exceeds 30 K - as expected if CO is mixed with H<SUB>2</SUB>O in the grain ice-mantles. <BR /> Conclusions: The results from this survey suggest that protostars undergo significant bursts about once every 20 000 yr, although the statistics suffer from the small sample size. The results illustrate the importance of taking the physical evolutionary histories into account for descriptions of the chemical structures of embedded protostars. | 9 |

Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) is an innovative 10 000 pixel bolometer camera operating at submillimetre wavelengths on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). The camera has the capability to carry out wide-field surveys to unprecedented depths, addressing key questions relating to the origins of galaxies, stars and planets. With two imaging arrays working simultaneously in the atmospheric windows at 450 and 850 μm, the vast increase in pixel count means that SCUBA-2 maps the sky 100-150 times faster than the previous SCUBA instrument. In this paper, we present an overview of the instrument, discuss the physical characteristics of the superconducting detector arrays, outline the observing modes and data acquisition, and present the early performance figures on the telescope. We also showcase the capabilities of the instrument via some early examples of the science SCUBA-2 that have already been undertaken. In 2012 February, SCUBA-2 began a series of unique legacy surveys for the JCMT community. These surveys will take 2.5 yr and the results are already providing complementary data to the shorter wavelength, shallower, larger area surveys from Herschel. The SCUBA-2 surveys will also provide a wealth of information for further study with new facilities such as ALMA, and future telescopes such as CCAT and SPICA. | 9 |

We propose a stringent observational test on the formation of warm Jupiters (gas-giant planets with 10 days <~ P <~ 100 days) by high-eccentricity (high-e) migration mechanisms. Unlike hot Jupiters, the majority of observed warm Jupiters have pericenter distances too large to allow efficient tidal dissipation to induce migration. To access the close pericenter required for migration during a Kozai-Lidov cycle, they must be accompanied by a strong enough perturber to overcome the precession caused by general relativity, placing a strong upper limit on the perturber's separation. For a warm Jupiter at a ~ 0.2 AU, a Jupiter-mass (solar-mass) perturber is required to be <~ 3 AU (lsim 30 AU) and can be identified observationally. Among warm Jupiters detected by radial velocities (RVs), >~ 50% (5 out of 9) with large eccentricities (e >~ 0.4) have known Jovian companions satisfying this necessary condition for high-e migration. In contrast, <~ 20% (3 out of 17) of the low-e (e <~ 0.2) warm Jupiters have detected additional Jovian companions, suggesting that high-e migration with planetary perturbers may not be the dominant formation channel. Complete, long-term RV follow-ups of the warm-Jupiter population will allow a firm upper limit to be put on the fraction of these planets formed by high-e migration. Transiting warm Jupiters showing spin-orbit misalignments will be interesting to apply our test. If the misalignments are solely due to high-e migration as commonly suggested, we expect that the majority of warm Jupiters with low-e (e <~ 0.2) are not misaligned, in contrast with low-e hot Jupiters. | 9 |

We exploit the astro-photometric dataset of the multi-epoch infrared parallel field of a $\textit{Hubble Space Telescope}$ Large Programme aimed at studying the faintest stars of the globular cluster NGC$\,$6752 to determine the luminosity and mass functions of the multiple stellar populations of this cluster. Thanks to the measurement of proper motions and deeper completeness, the results presented in this paper represent a significant improvement over those of previous studies. We successfully derived membership probabilities reaching stars as faint as $m_{\rm F160W} \sim 25$, allowing us to reliably distinguish the three main stellar populations detected within this cluster. We employed a new set of model isochrones that have been individually fit to the colour-magnitude diagram of each population. We present a comprehensive analysis of the luminosity and mass functions for three stellar populations within NGC$\,$6752. Notably, our findings reveal differences in the present-day luminosity and mass functions of first-generation and second-generation stars; these differences are consistent with the manifestation of the effects of dynamical processes acting on populations with different initial spatial distributions. Finally, we publicly release the catalogues with positions, photometry, proper motions, and memberships probabilities, as well as the stacked-image atlases and all newly calculated stellar models. | 9 |

We report the detection of a long-period giant planetary companion to the nearby M3V star GJ 463 (=Ross 690). The detection is based on over ten years of highly-precise radial velocity measurements with the High Resolution Spectrograph at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope and the HIRES spectrograph at Keck. With an orbital period of 10 yr and a minimum mass of 1.55 ± 0.15 M <SUB>Jup</SUB>, GJ 463 b has a comparable orbital period to Jupiter and hence qualifies as a Jupiter analog around a low-mass star. We demonstrate that the radial velocity signal is not produced by a magnetic activity cycle of the host star. GJ 463 was observed with TESS, and we searched the light curve for any possible signals of stellar or planetary origin, but detected none. This planet is a candidate for possible direct detection with the coronagraph of the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. We compared Gaia EDR3 with Hipparcos astrometry and detected a significant acceleration, which is likely caused by this long-period planetary companion at a = 3.53 ± 0.07 au. | 9 |

We develop an automated technique for detecting damped Ly α absorbers (DLAs) along spectroscopic lines of sight to quasi-stellar objects (QSOs or quasars). The detection of DLAs in large-scale spectroscopic surveys such as SDSS III sheds light on galaxy formation at high redshift, showing the nucleation of galaxies from diffuse gas. We use nearly 50 000 QSO spectra to learn a novel tailored Gaussian process model for quasar emission spectra, which we apply to the DLA detection problem via Bayesian model selection. We propose models for identifying an arbitrary number of DLAs along a given line of sight. We demonstrate our method's effectiveness using a large-scale validation experiment, with excellent performance. We also provide a catalogue of our results applied to 162 858 spectra from SDSS-III data release 12. | 9 |
