The Gaia eDR3 catalogue has recently been used to study statistically the internal kinematics of wide binary populations using relative velocities of the two component stars, ΔV, total binary masses, m<SUB>B</SUB>, and separations, s. For s ≳ 0.01 pc, these binaries probe the low-acceleration a ≲ 2a<SUB>0</SUB> regime where gravitational anomalies usually attributed to dark matter are observed in the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies, where a<SUB>0</SUB> ≈ 1.2 × 10<SUP>-10</SUP> m s<SUP>-2</SUP> is the acceleration scale of MOND. Such experiments test the degree of generality of these anomalies, by exploring the same acceleration regime using independent astronomical systems of vastly smaller mass and size. A signal above Newtonian expectations has been observed when a ≲ 2a<SUB>0</SUB>, alternatively interpreted as evidence of a modification of gravity, or as due to kinematic contaminants; undetected stellar components, unbound encounters, or spurious projection effects. Here I take advantage of the enhanced DR3 Gaia catalogue to perform a more rigorous study of the internal kinematics of wide binaries than what has previously been possible. Internally determined Gaia stellar masses and estimates of binary probabilities for each star using spectroscopic information, together with a larger sample of radial velocities, allow for a significant improvement in the analysis and careful exclusion of possible kinematic contaminants. Resulting ΔV scalings accurately tracing Newtonian expectations for the high acceleration regime, but markedly inconsistent with these expectations in the low acceleration one, are obtained. A non-Newtonian low acceleration phenomenology is thus confirmed. | 9 |

Stellar spectral classification has been highly useful in the study of stars. While there is a currently accepted spectral classification system for carbon stars, the subset of hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars has not been well described by such a system, due predominantly to their rarity and their variability. Here we present the first system for the classification of HdCs based on their spectra, which is made wholly on their observable appearance. We use a combination of dimensionality reduction and clustering algorithms with human classification to create such a system with eight total classes corresponding to temperature, and an additional second axis corresponding to the carbon molecular band strength. We classify over half of the known sample of HdC stars using this, and roughly calibrate the temperatures of each class using their colours. Additionally, we express trends in the occurrence of certain spectral peculiarities such as the presence of hydrogen and lithium lines. We also present three previously unpublished spectra, report the discovery of two new Galactic dustless HdC stars, and additionally discuss one especially unique star that appears to border between the hottest HdCs and the coolest extreme helium stars. | 9 |

Astronomy education has the capacity for expanding the perspective beyond specific racial, cultural, and socio-religious paradigms while fostering respect and reverence for the diversity, totality and integrity of all life. It facilitates comprehension of the radical interdependence of ecosystems across scales from quantum through biological and socio-cultural to cosmological. Astronomy and astrobiology education play roles in facilitating understanding of ecological diversity, appreciating with clarity the vital role of each aspect of life. The psycho-biological healing effects of focus on the vaster astronomical perspective may be proposed by the case of a young boy in bone marrow cancer recovery in the hospital who became inextricably involved in the Galaxy Zoo Citizen Science platform on a daily basis during a period of six month extreme isolation. Though isolated, his recovery and lack of excessive emotional and psychological stress were noteworthy. Research on brain and bio physiological effects of concentration on astronomical scales and phenomenology are yet to be undertaken. This deeply parallels and is similar to mindfulness practices, where extensive research has and is being pursued. These practices, noted for outstanding benefits to subjects involved, and now both prescribed by the medical field, and used widely in schools internationally, focus on the vastness of the sky and space as a domain of mindful pure awareness, the space-time substrate parallel to the substrate of the consciousness. As an example of astronomy as a stress reduction methodology, it was stated by an astronomer, that "a night observing on the mountain is like a two week vacation". Literally the mind and consciousness are moving outward into participation in the vaster time-space scale beyond the Earthly confines and normative stress factors. Deep silence of such spatial focus has been experienced as remedial for the nervous system. Astronomical immersion, beyond human authoritarian constraints, facilitates a sense of participation in and connectedness to far greater reality. Further research at this nexus is required. It calms random thought flux, promoting Einstein's 'cosmological feeling', related to the expansion of the personal identity into the cosmological tension and intention. It facilitates that which is at the core of the leading edge of remedial stress reduction techniques in our modern anthropogenic society and culture as one becomes ontologically integral to and with universal cosmic intent. From the cosmological and astronomical encounter the universality of life moving through, within and as everything may be both deduced as well as experienced. Fundamentally healing at the ontological scale, meaning is experienced as inseparable from being. There is the sense of human beings as witness, co-creators and inseparable participants in cosmos. The sense of meaning and belonging - as one of the primary healthy human psychosocial intentions is encountered with the unbound expanse of spacetime - relatively innumerable stars and clusters of galaxies strewn across potentially limitless space, including the observer and all planetary life. Thus astronomy education may significantly contribute to generating the necessary consciousness in students and the public required for our continued sustainable coexistence as a species on Earth. | 9 |

Cloud-wind interactions are common in the interstellar and circumgalactic media. Many studies have used simulations of such interactions to investigate the effect of particular physical processes, but the impact of the choice of hydrodynamic solver has largely been overlooked. Here we study the cloud-wind interaction, also known as the 'blob test', using seven different hydrodynamic solvers: three flavours of SPH, a moving mesh, adaptive mesh refinement, and two meshless schemes. The evolution of masses in dense gas and intermediate-temperature gas, as well as the covering fraction of intermediate-temperature gas, are systematically compared for initial density contrasts of 10 and 100, and five numerical resolutions. To isolate the differences due to the hydrodynamic solvers, we use idealized non-radiative simulations without physical conduction. We find large differences between these methods. SPH methods show slower dispersal of the cloud, particularly for the higher density contrast, but faster convergence, especially for the lower density contrast. Predictions for the intermediate-temperature gas differ particularly strongly, also between non-SPH codes, and converge most slowly. We conclude that the hydrodynamical interaction between a dense cloud and a supersonic wind remains an unsolved problem. Studies aiming to understand the physics or observational signatures of cloud-wind interactions should test the robustness of their results by comparing different hydrodynamic solvers. | 9 |

Key cosmological applications require the three-dimensional (3D) galaxy distribution on the entire celestial sphere. These include measuring the gravitational pull on the Local Group, estimating the large-scale bulk flow, and testing the Copernican principle. However, the largest all-sky redshift surveys—the 2MASS Redshift Survey and IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift Survey—have median redshifts of only z = 0.03 and sample the very local universe. All-sky galaxy catalogs exist that reach much deeper—SuperCOSMOS in the optical, the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) in the near-IR, and WISE in the mid-IR—but these lack complete redshift information. At present, the only rapid way toward larger 3D catalogs covering the whole sky is through photometric redshift techniques. In this paper we present the 2MASS Photometric Redshift catalog (2MPZ) containing one million galaxies, constructed by cross-matching Two Micron All Sky Survey Extended Source Catalog (2MASS XSC), WISE, and SuperCOSMOS all-sky samples and employing the artificial neural network approach (the ANNz algorithm), trained on such redshift surveys as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, 6dFGS, and 2dFGRS. The derived photometric redshifts have errors nearly independent of distance, with an all-sky accuracy of σ<SUB> z </SUB> = 0.015 and a very small percentage of outliers. In this way, we obtain redshift estimates with a typical precision of 12% for all the 2MASS XSC galaxies that lack spectroscopy. In addition, we have made an early effort toward probing the entire 3D sky beyond 2MASS, by pairing up WISE with SuperCOSMOS and training the ANNz on GAMA redshift data currently reaching to z <SUB>med</SUB> ~ 0.2. This has yielded photo-z accuracies comparable to those in the 2MPZ. These all-sky photo-z catalogs, with a median z ~ 0.1 for the 2MPZ, and significantly deeper for future WISE-based samples, will be the largest and most complete of their kind for the foreseeable future. | 9 |

We study the minimal `bathtub' toy model as a tool for capturing key processes of galaxy evolution and identifying robust successes and challenges in reproducing high-z observations. The source and sink terms of the continuity equations for gas and stars are expressed in simple terms from first principles. The assumed dependence of star formation rate (SFR) on gas mass self-regulates the system into a unique asymptotic behaviour, which is approximated by an analytic quasi-steady-state (QSS) solution. We address the validity of the QSS at different epochs independent of earlier conditions. At high z, where the accretion is gaseous, the specific SFR (sSFR) is predicted to be sSFR ≃ [(1 + z)/3]<SUP>5/2</SUP> Gyr<SUP>-1</SUP>, slightly above the cosmological specific accretion rate, as observed at z = 3-8. The gas fraction is expected to decline slowly, and the observations constrain the SFR efficiency per dynamical time to ɛ ≃ 0.02. The stellar-to-virial mass ratio f<SUB>sv</SUB> is predicted to be constant in time, and the observed value requires an outflow mass-loading factor η ≃ 1-3, depending on the penetration efficiency of gas into the galaxy. However, at z ∼ 2, where stars are also accreted through mergers, there is a conflict between model and observations. The model that maximizes the sSFR, with the outflows fully recycled, underestimates the sSFR by a factor of ∼3 and overestimates f<SUB>sv</SUB>. With strong outflows, the model can match the observed f<SUB>sv</SUB> but then it underestimates the sSFR by an order of magnitude. We discuss potential remedies including a bias due to the exclusion of quenched galaxies. | 9 |

Current planet formation theories rely on initially compact orbital configurations undergoing a (possibly extended) phase of giant impacts following the dispersal of the dissipative protoplanetary disc. The orbital architectures of observed mature exoplanet systems have likely been strongly sculpted by chaotic dynamics, instabilities, and giant impacts. One possible signature of systems continually reshaped by instabilities and mergers is their dynamical packing. Early Kepler data showed that many multiplanet systems are maximally packed - placing an additional planet between an observed pair would make the system unstable. However, this result relied on placing the inserted planet in the most optimistic configuration for stability (e.g. circular orbits). While this would be appropriate in an ordered and dissipative picture of planet formation (i.e. planets dampen into their most stable configurations), we argue that this best-case scenario for stability is rarely realized due to the strongly chaotic nature of planet formation. Consequently, the degree of dynamical packing in multiplanet systems under a realistic formation model is likely significantly higher than previously realized. We examine the full Kepler multiplanet sample through this new lens, showing that $\sim 60{{-}}95~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ of Kepler multiplanet systems are strongly packed and that dynamical packing increases with multiplicity. This may be a signature of dynamical sculpting or of undetected planets, showing that dynamical packing is an important metric that can be incorporated into planet formation modelling or when searching for unseen planets. | 9 |

The measurement of chemical and kinematic structures in pre-stellar cores is essential for better understanding of the star-formation process. Here, we study three pre-stellar cores (TMC-1C, L1544, and TMC-1) of the Taurus molecular cloud by means of the thioxoethenylidene (CCS) radical and ammonia (NH<SUB>3</SUB>) molecule observed with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array telescope in the D, C, and CNB configurations. Our main results are based on the CCS observation of the TMC-1C core, showing that complex structures are present. A spatial offset relative to dust emission is observed in the CCS radical. Across a wide region around the dust peak, inward motion is found through the CCS radical. We have calculated the infall velocity and measured the turbulence inside the core. The turbulence is found to be subsonic. We obtain that the virial parameter α is < 1. Thus, thermal and non-thermal motions cannot prevent the collapse. Spatial incoherence of the CCS and NH<SUB>3</SUB> is observed from the integrated intensity maps in these cores, suggesting that these molecules trace different environments in the cores. We compare the integrated flux densities of CCS with previous single-dish data and find that a small amount of flux is recovered in the interferometric observations, indicating the presence of significant diffuse emission in favourable conditions for producing CCS. | 9 |
