STATCONT is a python-based tool designed to determine the continuum emission level in spectral data, in particular for sources with a line-rich spectrum. The tool inspects the intensity distribution of a given spectrum and automatically determines the continuum level by using different statistical approaches. The different methods included in STATCONT are tested against synthetic data. We conclude that the sigma-clipping algorithm provides the most accurate continuum level determination, together with information on the uncertainty in its determination. This uncertainty can be used to correct the final continuum emission level, resulting in the here called `corrected sigma-clipping method' or c-SCM. The c-SCM has been tested against more than 750 different synthetic spectra reproducing typical conditions found towards astronomical sources. The continuum level is determined with a discrepancy of less than 1% in 50% of the cases, and less than 5% in 90% of the cases, provided at least 10% of the channels are line free. The main products of STATCONT are the continuum emission level, together with a conservative value of its uncertainty, and datacubes containing only spectral line emission, i.e., continuum-subtracted datacubes. STATCONT also includes the option to estimate the spectral index, when different files covering different frequency ranges are provided. | 9 |

The accretion flow around the Galactic Centre black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is expected to have an electron temperature that is distinct from the ion temperature, due to weak Coulomb coupling in the low-density plasma. We present four two-temperature general relativistic radiative magnetohydrodynamic (GRRMHD) simulations of Sgr A* performed with the code KORAL. These simulations use different electron heating prescriptions, motivated by different models of the underlying plasma microphysics. We compare the Landau-damped turbulent cascade model used in a previous work with a new prescription we introduce based on the results of particle-in-cell simulations of magnetic reconnection. With the turbulent heating model, electrons are preferentially heated in the polar outflow, whereas with the reconnection model electrons are heated by nearly the same fraction everywhere in the accretion flow. The spectra of the two models are similar around the submillimetre synchrotron peak, but the models heated by magnetic reconnection produce variability more consistent with the level observed from Sgr A*. All models produce 230 GHz images with distinct black hole shadows which are consistent with the image size measured by the Event Horizon Telescope, but only the turbulent heating produces an anisotropic `disc-jet' structure where the image is dominated by a polar outflow or jet at frequencies below the synchrotron peak. None of our models can reproduce the observed radio spectral slope, the large near-infrared and X-ray flares, or the near-infrared spectral index, all of which suggest non-thermal electrons are needed to fully explain the emission from Sgr A*. | 9 |

This release on April 13, 2022 represents a good working version of the code Crunchtope for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The Windows version is installed using the CrunchSetup file--this will install the Exercises, the executable (CrunchTope.exe), and the redistributable Intel libraries. The redistributable libraries should be installed by double-clicking on them. In addition, it will update the Environment Variables in the Registry so that the location of the CrunchTope executable is added to the PATH. In this way, the code can be run from any directory using the Command window. The Mac and Linux versions are to be built with GCC and Gfortran following the instructions in: PETScBuildInstructions-Linux.pdf PETScBuildInstructions-Mac.pdf For Mac and Linux, there is no executable, so the user should build first PETSc and then CrunchTope following the instructions. Some people have had problems with compatibility between the GCC and Gfortran thanks to Apple at some point removing Gfortran, so you may have to update XCode or your Mac. The exercises and short course descriptions are to be found in: CrunchTope-InstallMacLinux.tar.gz | 9 |

Despite being the most abundant classes of known exoplanets, super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are absent in our Solar System, and the exact reason for this is still unknown. Some models suggest that cold-Jupiters play a major role in the formation of inner low-mass planets. This could explain the current architecture of our Solar System, and the reason for the absence of any super-Earth in close orbit around the Sun. In this framework, we present the combination of Radial Velocity (RV) and astrometry as a comprehensive approach to the study of hierarchical systems, hosting both long- and short-period planetary companions. Taking advantage of high-resolution echelle spectroscopy from HARPS-N, and high-precision Gaia astrometry, we study planetary systems across different spectral types, to disclose the dependence of the formation of multi-planet systems on the mass of the host star. We present the high-cadence and high-precision RV monitoring of stellar hosts to long-period giants with well-measured orbits, in search for short-period low-mass planets, over different spectral types from M to G. We then show how the combination of RV measurements and high-precision Gaia astrometry can greatly expand our knowledge of the long-period planets in these systems: combining RVs with proper-motion anomalies from Gaia and Hipparcos, we are able to measure the inclination and real masses of several long-period companions in our sample. Moreover, with a set of simulations of Gaia DR4 astrometric time series, we quantify the great boost in precision that these data will bring to the study of long-period exoplanetary companions. Finally, from an homogeneous Bayesian analysis of the observed sample, we highlight a very different behavior between G- and M-dwarfs: in the G-sample, the frequency of mini-Neptunes appears to be lower in the presence of cold Jupiters, while the opposite is observed for M dwarfs. These results provide an important advancement in discriminating between the different formation models of sub-Neptunes in the presence of outer giant companions, and produce the first direct observation of a different influence of cold Jupiters in the formation of planetary systems around stars of different masses. | 9 |

<BR /> Aims: Our scientific goal is to provide a 3D map of the nearest open cluster to the Sun, the Hyades, combining the recent release of Gaia astrometric data, ground-based parallaxes of sub-stellar member candidates and photometric data from surveys which cover large areas of the cluster. <BR /> Methods: We combined the second Gaia release with ground-based H-band parallaxes obtained with the infrared camera on the 2 m robotic Liverpool telescope to astrometrically identify stellar and sub-stellar members of the Hyades, the nearest open cluster to the Sun. <BR /> Results: We find 1764 objects within 70° radius from the cluster centre from the Gaia second data release, whose kinematic properties are consistent with the Hyades. We limit our study to 30 pc from the cluster centre (47.03 ± 0.20 pc) where we identify 710 candidate members, including 85 and 385 in the core and tidal radius, respectively. We determine proper motions and parallaxes of eight candidate brown dwarf members and confirm their membership. Using the 3D positions and a model-based mass-luminosity relation we derive a luminosity and mass function in the 0.04-2.5 M<SUB>⊙</SUB> range. We confirm evidence for mass segregation in the Hyades and find a dearth of brown dwarfs in the core of the cluster. From the white dwarf members we estimate an age of 640<SUB>-49</SUB><SUP>+67</SUP> Myr. <BR /> Conclusions: We identify a list of members in the Hyades cluster from the most massive stars down to the brown dwarfs.

30%-50% of the luminous pulsating red-giant stars show light variations of a longer period than the pulsation periods. Those periods are called long secondary periods (LSP). There has been debated for many years but the origin of the LSP is still unknown. To explain the LSP variations, there have been many approaches in not only observations but also theoretical studies. However, the invariance of the length of the LSPs has been investigated little. Thus, we studied the temporal variations of the period by performing the weighted wavelet-Z-transform analysis. Using the OGLE-III database, the I-band light curves of 6904 and 1945 LSP candidates in the Large/Small Magellanic Clouds, respectively, were analyzed. Most of our sample stars indicated that the period corresponding to the LSP was constant during the observation term. However, 101 and 44 LSP stars in the LMC and SMC, respectively, showed the signature of the temporal variations of the LSPs. There were diversities of the period modulations i.e. monotonic increase or decrease, or constant until the middle and then increase, etc. The comet-like companion is one of the possible explanations for the LSP variations, but this hypothesis cannot explain the period modulations because the LSP is determined by the orbital period. | 9 |

We relate the fundamental quadrupolar fluid mode of isolated nonrotating neutron stars (NSs) and the dominant oscillation frequency of neutron star merger remnants. Both frequencies individually are known to correlate with certain stellar parameters like radii or the tidal deformability, which we further investigate by constructing fit formulas and quantifying the scatter of the data points from those relations. Furthermore, we compare how individual data points deviate from the corresponding fit to all data points. Considering this point-to-point scatter we uncover a striking similarity between the frequency deviations of perturbative data for isolated NSs and of oscillation frequencies of rapidly rotating, hot, massive merger remnants. The correspondence of frequency deviations in these very different stellar systems points to an underlying mechanism and equation of state information being encoded in the frequency deviation. We trace the frequency scatter back to deviations of the tidal Love number from an average tidal Love number for a given stellar compactness. Our results thus indicate a possibility to break the degeneracy between NS radii, tidal deformability, and tidal Love number. We also relate frequency deviations to the derivative of the tidal deformability with respect to mass. Our findings generally highlight a possibility to improve gravitational wave (GW) asteroseismology relations where the systematic behavior of frequency deviations is employed to reduce the scatter in such relationships and consequently increase the measurement accuracy. In addition, we relate the f -mode frequency of static stars and the dominant GW frequency of merger remnants. We find an analytic mapping to connect the masses of both stellar systems, which yields particularly accurate mass-independent relations between both frequencies and between the postmerger frequency and the tidal deformability. | 9 |
We report on a survey for Hα bow shock emission around nearby γ-detected energetic pulsars. This survey adds three Balmer-dominated neutron star bow shocks to the six previously confirmed examples. In addition to the shock around Fermi pulsar PSR J1741-2054, we now report Hα structures around two additional γ-ray pulsars, PSR J2030+4415 and PSR J1509-5850. These are the first known examples of Hα nebulae with pre-ionization halos. With new measurements, we show that a simple analytic model can account for the angular size and flux of the bow shocks' apices. The latter, in particular, provides a new pulsar probe and indicates large moments of inertia and smaller distances than previously assumed in several cases. In particular, we show that the re-measured PSR J0437-4715 shock flux implies I = (1.7 ± 0.2) × 10<SUP>45</SUP>/(f <SUB>H I </SUB>sin i) g cm<SUP>2</SUP>. We also derive a distance d ≈ 0.72 kpc for the γ-ray only pulsar PSR J2030+4415 and revised distances for PSRs J1959+2048 (1.4 kpc) and J2555+6535 (~1 kpc), smaller than the conventional DM-estimated values. Finally, we report upper limits for 94 additional LAT pulsars. An estimate of the survey sensitivity indicates that for a warm neutral medium filling factor phi<SUB>WNM</SUB> ~ 0.3 there should be a total of approximately nine Hα bow shocks in our LAT-targeted survey; given that seven such objects are now known, a much larger phi<SUB>WNM</SUB> seems problematic. | 9 |

Precise radial velocity (PRV) surveys are important for the search for Earth analogs around nearby bright stars, which induce a small stellar reflex motion with an RV amplitude of ~10 cm s<SUP>-1</SUP>. Detecting such a small RV signal poses challenges to instrumentation, data analysis, and the precision of astrophysical models to mitigate stellar jitter. In this work, we investigate an important component in the PRV error budget-the spectral contamination from the Earth's atmosphere (tellurics). We characterize the effects of telluric absorption on the RV precision and quantify its contribution to the RV error budget over time and across a wavelength range of 350 nm-2.5 μm. We use simulated solar spectra with telluric contamination injected, and we extract the RVs using two commonly adopted algorithms: dividing out a telluric model before performing cross-correlation or forward modeling the observed spectrum incorporating a telluric model. We assume various degrees of cleanness in removing the tellurics. We conclude that the RV errors caused by telluric absorption can be suppressed to close to or even below 1-10 cm s<SUP>-1</SUP> in the blue optical region. At red through near-infrared wavelengths, however, the residuals of tellurics can induce an RV error on the meter-per-second level even under the most favorable assumptions for telluric removal, leading to significant systematic noise in the RV time series and periodograms. If the red-optical or near-infrared becomes critical in the mitigation of stellar activity, systematic errors from tellurics can be eliminated with a space mission such as EarthFinder. | 9 |

Ice naturally forms in the disordered or ``amorphous'' state when accreted from vapor at temperatures and pressures found in the interstellar medium and in the frigid, low density outer regions of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. It is therefore the expected form of ice in comets and other primitive bodies that have escaped substantial heating since formation. Despite expectations, however, the observational evidence for amorphous ice in comets remains largely indirect. This is both because the spectral features of amorphous ice are subtle and because the solar system objects for which we possess high quality data are mostly too close to the Sun and too hot for amorphous ice to survive near the surface, where it can be detected. This chapter reviews the properties of amorphous ice, the evidence for its existence and its consequences for the behavior of comets. | 9 |
