Elements with differing siderophile affinities provide insights into various stages of planetary accretion. The isotopic anomalies they exhibit offer a deeper understanding of the materials responsible for the formation of terrestrial planets. By analyzing new iron isotopic anomaly data from Martian meteorites and drawing insights from published data for O, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, Sr, Zr, Mo, Ru, and Si, we scrutinize potential changes in the isotopic composition of the material accreted by Mars and Earth during their formation. Our methodology employs a Bayesian inference method, executed using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. <P />The Bayesian method helps us balance the task of emulating the compositions of the terrestrial planets (reflected in the likelihood) with the flexibility to explore the isotopic compositions of mixing components within permissible intervals (indicated by the priors of the nuisance parameters). A Principal Component Analysis of isotopic anomalies in meteorites identifies three main clusters (forming the three parts of the isotopic trichotomy): CI, CC=CM + CO + CV + CR, and NC = EH + EL + H + L + LL. We adopt CI, COCV, O, and E as endmember compositions in the mixtures. We are concerned here with explaining isotopic anomalies in Mars and Earth, not their chemical compositions. Previous studies have shown that Earth's chemical composition could not be well explained by solely considering undifferentiated meteorites, as it requires incorporation of a refractory component enriched in forsterite. The endmember chondrite components considered here are assumed to be representative of isotopic reservoirs that were present in the solar nebula, but the actual building blocks could have had different chemical compositions, and we use cursive letters to denote those putative building blocks (CI for CI, COCV for COCV, O for O, and E for E). <P />Because Earth's mantle composition is an endmember for some isotopic systems, it cannot be reproduced exactly by considering known chondrite groups only and requires involvement of a component that is missing from meteorite collections but is likely close to enstatite meteorites. With this caveat in mind, our results suggest that Earth is primarily an isotopic mixture of ~92% E, 6% CI, and < 2% COCV and O. Mars, on the other hand, appears to be a mixture of ~65% E, 33% O, and < 2% CI and COCV. We establish that Earth's CI contribution substantially increased during the latter half of its accretion. Mars began accreting a mix of O and E but predominantly accreted E later. <P />Mars' changing isotopic makeup during accretion can be explained if it underwent gas-driven type I migration from its origin near the O - E boundary to a location well within the E region during the first few million years of solar system history. Earth's later increased CI contribution may be attributed to the stochastic impact of an interloper carbonaceous embryo that moved inside the inner solar system region while nebular gas was still present, and subsequently participated in the stage of chaotic growth. <P />The discovery that a significant portion of Earth's building blocks closely resembles enstatite chondrites contrasts with recent findings of Si isotopic anomalies in enstatite chondrites when compared to terrestrial rocks. We suggest that this discrepancy likely stems from insufficient correction for high-temperature equilibrium isotopic fractionation, whether of nebular or planetary origin. With appropriate adjustments for this influence, both the silicate Earth and enstatite chondrites exhibit comparable Si isotopic anomalies, reaffirming a genetic link between them. | 9 |
Context. The star cluster (SC) age distribution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) exhibits a gap from ∼4 to 10 Gyr ago, with an almost total absence of SCs. Within this age gap, only two confirmed SCs have been identified hitherto. Nonetheless, the star field counterpart does not show the same characteristics, making the LMC a peculiar galaxy where the star formation history and cluster formation history appear to differ significantly. <BR /> Aims: We re-analysed the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the KMHK 1762 SC by using the deep optical photometry provided by the `Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again' survey, so as to robustly assess its age. <BR /> Methods: First, we partially removed foreground and/or field stars by means of parallaxes and proper motions obtained from the Gaia Early Data Release 3. Then, we applied the Automated Stellar Cluster Analysis package to the cleaned photometric catalogue to identify the isochrone that best matches the CMD of KMHK 1762. <BR /> Results: The estimated age of KMHK 1762 is log(t)=9.74 ± 0.15 dex (∼5.5 Gyr), which is more than 2 Gyr older than the previous estimation which was obtained with shallower photometry. This value makes KMHK 1762 the third confirmed age-gap SC of the LMC. <BR /> Conclusions: The physical existence of a quiescent period of the LMC SC formation is questioned. We suggest it can be the result of an observational bias, originating from the combination of shallow photometry and limited investigation of the LMC periphery. | 9 |

I compared with each other and with observations three energy sources to power intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs) and conclude that only jets can power bright ILOTs with rapidly rising lightcurves. I present an expression for the power of the jets that a main sequence secondary star launches as it enters a common envelope evolution (CEE) with a primary giant star. The expression includes the Keplerian orbital period on the surface of the primary star, its total envelope mass, and the ratio of masses. I show that the shock that the secondary star excites in the envelope of the primary star cannot explain bright peaks in the lightcurves of ILOTs, and that powering by jets does much better in accounting for rapidly rising, about 10 days and less, peaks in the lightcurves of ILOTs than the recombination energy of the ejected mass. I strengthen previous claims that jets powered the Great Eruption of Eta Carinae, which was a luminous variable major eruption, and the luminous red novae (LRNe) V838 Mon and V1309 Scorpii. I therefore predict that the ejecta (nebula) of V1309 Scorpii will be observed in a decade or two to be bipolar. My main conclusion is that only jets can power a bright peak with a short rising time of ILOTs (LRNe) at CEE formation. | 9 |

The physical quantity that directly controls the feedback of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in elliptical galaxies remains to be determined. The discovery of molecular gas around the AGNs suggests that the gas is fueling the AGNs. Therefore, we analyze Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array data for the CO line (J = 1–0, 2–1, 3–2) emission and estimate the mass of molecular gas within 500 pc of the center of 12 noncentral elliptical galaxies (NCEGs) and 10 of the brightest cluster galaxies. We find that the mass (M <SUB>mol</SUB> ∼ 10<SUP>5</SUP>–10<SUP>9</SUP> M <SUB>☉</SUB>) is correlated with the jet power of their AGNs, which is represented by ${P}_{\mathrm{cav}}\approx 4.1\times {10}^{42}{({M}_{\mathrm{mol}}/{10}^{7}\ {M}_{\odot })}^{1.3}\mathrm{erg}\ {{\rm{s}}}^{-1}$ , although NCEGs alone do not show the correlation. We also find that M <SUB>mol</SUB> is correlated with the AGN continuum luminosities at ∼1.4 GHz (L <SUB>1.4</SUB>) and ∼100–300 GHz (L <SUB>con</SUB>). Since P <SUB>cav</SUB> reflects galactic-scale, long-term AGN activity, while the continuum luminosities reflect local (≲500 pc), short-term AGN activity, our results suggest that AGN activity depends on the amount of gas, regardless of its timescale. On the other hand, we cannot find a clear correlation between the mass of the black holes in the AGNs (M <SUB>BH</SUB>) and P <SUB>cav</SUB>. This suggests that M <SUB>mol</SUB>, rather than M <SUB>BH</SUB>, is the main factor controlling AGN activity. We confirm that the origin of the continuum emission from the AGNs at ∼1.4–300 GHz is mostly synchrotron radiation. | 9 |

The Hubble constant, $H_0$, which is a crucial parameter in astrophysics and cosmology, is under significant tension. We explore an independent technique to measure $H_0$ based on the time-delay cosmography with strong gravitational lensing of a supernova lensed by a galaxy cluster, focusing on SN Refsdal in MACS J1149.5+2223, the first gravitationally lensed supernova with resolved multiple images. We carefully examine the dependence of constraints on the Hubble constant on the choice of lens mass models, employing 23 lens mass models with different assumptions on dark matter halos and external perturbations. Remarkably, we observe that the dependence on the choice of lens mass models is not significantly large, suggesting the robustness of the constraint on the Hubble constant from SN Refsdal. We combine measurements for the 23 lens mass models to obtain $H_0=70.0^{+4.7}_{-4.9}km/s/Mpc$ assuming equal weighting. We find that best-fitting Hubble constant values correlate with radial density profiles of the lensing cluster, implying a room for improving the constraint on the Hubble constant with future observations of more multiple images. We also find a clear correlation between best-fitting Hubble constant values and magnification factors of supernova multiple images. This correlation highlights the importance of gravitationally lensed Type Ia supernovae for accurate and robust Hubble constant measurements. | 9 |

Numerical relativity (NR) simulations provide the most accurate binary black hole gravitational waveforms, but are prohibitively expensive for applications such as parameter estimation. Surrogate models of NR waveforms have been shown to be both fast and accurate. However, NR-based surrogate models are limited by the training waveforms' length, which is typically about 20 orbits before merger. We remedy this by hybridizing the NR waveforms using both post-Newtonian and effective one-body waveforms for the early inspiral. We present NRHybSur3dq8, a surrogate model for hybridized nonprecessing numerical relativity waveforms, that is valid for the entire LIGO band (starting at 20 Hz) for stellar mass binaries with total masses as low as 2.25 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. We include the ℓ≤4 and (5, 5) spin-weighted spherical harmonic modes but not the (4, 1) or (4, 0) modes. This model has been trained against hybridized waveforms based on 104 NR waveforms with mass ratios q ≤8 , and |χ<SUB>1 z</SUB>|,|χ<SUB>2 z</SUB>|≤0.8 , where χ<SUB>1 z</SUB> (χ<SUB>2 z</SUB>) is the spin of the heavier (lighter) black hole in the direction of orbital angular momentum. The surrogate reproduces the hybrid waveforms accurately, with mismatches ≲3 ×10<SUP>-4</SUP> over the mass range 2.25 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>≤M ≤300 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. At high masses (M ≳40 M<SUB>⊙</SUB>), where the merger and ringdown are more prominent, we show roughly 2 orders of magnitude improvement over existing waveform models. We also show that the surrogate works well even when extrapolated outside its training parameter space range, including at spins as large as 0.998. Finally, we show that this model accurately reproduces the spheroidal-spherical mode mixing present in the NR ringdown signal. | 9 |

We present the census of massive (log(M <SUB>*</SUB>/M <SUB>⊙</SUB>) > 11) galaxies at 3 < z < 6 identified over the COSMOS/UltraVISTA Ultra-Deep field stripes: consisting of ≈100 and ≈20 high-confidence candidates at 3 < z < 4 and 4 < z < 6, respectively. The 3 < z < 4 population is comprised of post-starburst, UV-star-forming, and dusty star-forming galaxies in roughly equal fractions, while UV-star-forming galaxies dominate at 4 < z < 6 . We account for various sources of biases in the spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling, finding that the treatment of emission line contamination is essential for understanding the number densities and mass growth histories of massive galaxies at z > 3. The significant increase in observed number densities at z ~ 4 (> × 5 in ≲600 Myr) implies that this is the epoch at which log(M <SUB>*</SUB>/M <SUB>⊙</SUB>) > 11 galaxies emerge in significant numbers, with stellar ages (≈500-900 Myr) indicating rapid formation epochs as early as z ~ 7. Leveraging ancillary multiwavelength data sets, we perform panchromatic SED modeling to constrain the total star formation activity of the sample. The star formation activity of the sample is generally consistent with being on the star formation main sequence at the considered redshifts, with ≈15%-25% of the population showing evidence of suppressed star formation rates, indicating that quenching mechanisms are already at play by z ~ 4. We stack the available Hubble Space Telescope imaging, confirming their compact nature (r <SUB> e </SUB> ≲ 2.2 kpc), consistent with expected sizes of high-z star-forming galaxies. Finally, we discuss how our results are in-line with the early formation epochs and short formation timescales inferred from the fossil records of the most massive galaxies in the universe. | 9 |
