This paper investigates a new methodology to search for periods in light curves of high-energy gamma-ray sources such as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). High-energy light curves have significant stochastic components, making period detection somewhat challenging. In our model, periodic terms, drifts of the light curves, and random walk with a correlation between flux points due to colored noise are taken into account independently. The parameters of the model are obtained directly from a Markov Chain Monte Carlo minimization. The time periods found are compared to the output of the publicly available Agatha program. The search method is applied to high-energy periodic AGN candidates from the Fermi-LAT catalog. The significance of periodic models over pure noise models is discussed. Finally, the variability of the period and amplitude of oscillating terms is studied on the most significant candidates. | 9 |

We explore the electromagnetic counterparts that will associate with binary-neutron-star mergers for the case that remnant massive neutron stars survive for ≳0.5 s after the merger. For this study, we employ the outflow profiles obtained by long-term general-relativistic neutrino-radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations with a mean-field dynamo effect. We show that a synchrotron afterglow with high luminosity can be associated with the merger event if the magnetic fields of the remnant neutron stars are significantly amplified by the dynamo effect. We also perform a radiative transfer calculation for kilonovae and find that, for the highly amplified magnetic field cases, the kilonovae can be bright in the early epoch (t ≤ 0.5 d), while it shows the optical emission which rapidly declines in a few days and the very bright near-infrared emission which lasts for ~10 days. All these features have not been found in GW170817, indicating that the merger remnant neutron star formed in GW170817 might have collapsed to a black hole within several hundreds milliseconds or magnetic-field amplification might be a minor effect. | 9 |

The discovery of the first binary neutron star merger, GW170817, has spawned a plethora of global numerical relativity simulations. These simulations are often ideal (with dissipation determined by the grid) and/or axisymmetric (invoking ad hoc mean-field dynamos). However, binary neutron star mergers (similar to X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei inner discs) are characterized by large magnetic Prandtl numbers, $\rm Pm$, (the ratio of viscosity to resistivity). $\rm Pm$ is a key parameter determining dynamo action and dissipation but it is ill-defined (and likely of order unity) in ideal simulations. To bridge this gap, we investigate the magnetorotational instability (MRI) and associated dynamo at large magnetic Prandtl numbers using fully compressible, three-dimensional, vertically stratified, isothermal simulations of a local patch of a disc. We find that, within the bulk of the disc (z ≲ 2H, where H is the scale-height), the turbulent intensity (parametrized by the stress-to-thermal-pressure ratio α), and the saturated magnetic field energy density, E<SUB>mag</SUB>, produced by the MRI dynamo, both scale as a power with Pm at moderate Pm (4 ≲ Pm ≲ 32): E<SUB>mag</SUB> ~ Pm<SUP>0.74</SUP> and α ~ Pm<SUP>0.71</SUP>, respectively. At larger Pm (≳ 32), we find deviations from power-law scaling and the onset of a plateau. Compared to our recent unstratified study, this scaling with Pm becomes weaker further away from the disc mid-plane, where the Parker instability dominates. We perform a thorough spectral analysis to understand the underlying dynamics of small-scale MRI-driven turbulence in the mid-plane and of large-scale Parker-unstable structures in the atmosphere. | 9 |

Context. The semi-analytic Just-Jahreiß (JJ) model of the Galactic disk is a flexible tool for stellar population synthesis with a fine age resolution of 25 Myr. The model has recently been calibrated in the solar neighbourhood against the Gaia DR2 stars. We have identified two star-formation bursts within the last ∼4 Gyr of the local star-formation rate (SFR) history. <BR /> Aims: In this work we present a generalised version of the JJ model that incorporates our findings for the solar neighbourhood and is applicable to a wide range of galactocentric distances, 4 kpc ≲R ≲ 14 kpc. <BR /> Methods: The JJ model includes the four flattened and two spheroidal components of the Milky Way, describing it as an axisymmetric system. The thin and thick disks, as well as atomic and molecular gas layers, are assumed to have exponential radial surface density profiles. Spherical stellar halo and dark matter in the form of a cored isothermal sphere are also added to the model. The overall thickness of the thin disk is assumed to be constant at all radii, though model realisations with a flaring disk can also be tested. The adopted radial variation in the thin-disk SFR reflects the inside-out disk growth scenario. Motivated by our findings for the solar neighbourhood, we allow a smooth power-law SFR continuum to be modified by an arbitrary number of Gaussian peaks. Additionally, the vertical kinematics of the stellar populations associated with these episodes of star-formation excess is allowed to differ from the kinematics prescribed by the age-velocity dispersion relation for the thin-disk populations of the same age. <BR /> Results: We present a public code of the JJ model complemented by the three sets of isochrones generated by the stellar tracks and isochrones with the PAdova and TRieste Stellar Evolution Code (PARSEC), the Modules and Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST), and a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones (BaSTI). Assuming a plausible set of parameters, we take the first step towards calibrating the JJ model at non-solar radii. Using metallicity distributions of the red clump giants from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), we constrain the radial variation of the JJ-model age-metallicity relation and propose a new analytic form for the age-metallicity relation function. <BR /> Conclusions: The generalised JJ model is a publicly available tool for studying different stellar populations across the Milky Way disk. With its fine age resolution and flexibility, it can be particularly useful for reconstructing the thin-disk SFR, as a variety of different SFR shapes can be constructed within its framework. | 9 |

An open cluster is an ideal region to study the evolution of stars. In this work, we use Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) to derive the fundamental parameters of 30 faint open clusters listed in the catalogue given by Cantat-Gaudin et al. (2018, A&A, 618, A93), but the G magnitude of all of the member stars of that catalogue is brighter than ~18 mag. This catalogue does not provide isochrone fitting parameters and spatial structure parameters. We acquired the member stars of 30 open clusters using the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm in Gaia EDR3. The G magnitude of the member stars using our method can be found down to ~21 mag. The G-band, G<SUB>BP</SUB>-band, and G<SUB>RP</SUB>-band data of the member stars construct a good color-magnitude diagram, which can further ensure the precision of isochrone fitting. We also calculated the spatial structure parameters, which are the core radius and the limiting radius, using Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. | 9 |

We present a Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera-3 (WFC3) transmission spectrum for the transiting exoplanet HAT-P-12b. This warm (1000 K) sub-Saturn-mass planet has a smaller mass and a lower temperature than the hot Jupiters that have been studied so far. We find that the planet's measured transmission spectrum lacks the expected water absorption feature for a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere and is instead best described by a model with high-altitude clouds. Using a frequentist hypothesis testing procedure, we can rule out a hydrogen-dominated cloud-free atmosphere to 4.9σ. When combined with other recent WFC3 studies, our observations suggest that clouds may be common in exoplanetary atmospheres. | 9 |

During the inspiralling of a white dwarf (WD) into an intermediate-mass black hole (~10<SUP>2-5</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB>), both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation are emitted. Once the eccentric orbit's pericenter radius approaches the tidal radius, the WD would be tidally stripped upon each pericenter passage. The accretion of this stripped mass would produce EM radiation. It is suspected that the recently discovered new types of transients, namely the quasiperiodic eruptions and the fast ultraluminous x-ray bursts, might originate from such systems. Modeling these flares requires a prediction of the amount of stripped mass from the WD and the details of the mass supply to the accretion disk. We run hydrodynamical simulations to study the orbital parameter dependence of the stripped mass. We find that our results match the analytical estimate that the stripped mass is proportional to z <SUP>5/2</SUP>, where z is the excess depth by which the WD overfills its instantaneous Roche lobe at the pericenter. The corresponding fallback rate of the stripped mass is calculated, which may be useful in interpreting the individual flaring light curve in candidate EM sources. We further calculate the long-term mass-loss evolution of a WD during its inspiral and the detectability of the GW and EM signals. The EM signal from the mass-loss stage can be easily detected: the limiting distance is ~320(M <SUB>h</SUB>/10<SUP>4</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB>) Mpc for the Einstein Probe. The GW signal, for space-borne detectors such as Laser Interferometer Space Antenna or TianQin, can be detected only within the Local Supercluster (~33 Mpc). | 9 |

During the dawn of chemistry<SUP>1,2</SUP>, when the temperature of the young Universe had fallen below some 4,000 kelvin, the ions of the light elements produced in Big Bang nucleosynthesis recombined in reverse order of their ionization potential. With their higher ionization potentials, the helium ions He<SUP>2+</SUP> and He<SUP>+</SUP> were the first to combine with free electrons, forming the first neutral atoms; the recombination of hydrogen followed. In this metal-free and low-density environment, neutral helium atoms formed the Universe's first molecular bond in the helium hydride ion HeH<SUP>+</SUP> through radiative association with protons. As recombination progressed, the destruction of HeH<SUP>+</SUP> created a path to the formation of molecular hydrogen. Despite its unquestioned importance in the evolution of the early Universe, the HeH<SUP>+</SUP> ion has so far eluded unequivocal detection in interstellar space. In the laboratory the ion was discovered<SUP>3</SUP> as long ago as 1925, but only in the late 1970s was the possibility that HeH<SUP>+</SUP> might exist in local astrophysical plasmas discussed<SUP>4-7</SUP>. In particular, the conditions in planetary nebulae were shown to be suitable for producing potentially detectable column densities of HeH<SUP>+</SUP>. Here we report observations, based on advances in terahertz spectroscopy<SUP>8,9</SUP> and a high-altitude observatory<SUP>10</SUP>, of the rotational ground-state transition of HeH<SUP>+</SUP> at a wavelength of 149.1 micrometres in the planetary nebula NGC 7027. This confirmation of the existence of HeH<SUP>+</SUP> in nearby interstellar space constrains our understanding of the chemical networks that control the formation of this molecular ion, in particular the rates of radiative association and dissociative recombination. | 9 |

The European Space Agency (ESA) Gaia mission has enabled the remarkable discovery that a large fraction of the stars near the solar neighbourhood are debris from a single in-falling system, the so-called Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). This discovery provides astronomers for the first time with a large cohort of easily observable, unevolved stars that formed in a single extragalactic environment. Here we use these stars to investigate the 'Spite plateau' - the near-constant lithium abundance observed in unevolved metal-poor stars across a wide range of metallicities (-3 < [Fe/H] < -1). Our aim is to test whether individual galaxies could have different Spite plateaus - e.g. the interstellar medium could be more depleted in lithium in a lower galactic mass system due to it having a smaller reservoir of gas. We identified 93 GSE dwarf stars observed and analysed by the GALactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) survey as part of its Data Release 3 (DR3). Orbital actions were used to select samples of GSE stars, and comparison samples of halo and disc stars. We find that the GSE stars show the same lithium abundance as other likely accreted stars and in situ Milky Way stars. Formation environment leaves no imprint on lithium abundances. This result fits within the growing consensus that the Spite plateau, and more generally the 'cosmological lithium problem' - the observed discrepancy between the amount of lithium in warm, metal-poor dwarf stars in our Galaxy, and the amount of lithium predicted to have been produced by big bang nucleosynthesis - is the result of lithium depletion processes within stars. | 9 |

Pulse profiles of accreting millisecond pulsars can be used to determine neutron star (NS) parameters, such as their masses and radii, and therefore provide constraints on the equation of state of cold dense matter. Information obtained by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) can be used to decipher pulsar inclination and magnetic obliquity, providing ever tighter constraints on other parameters. In this paper, we develop a new emission model for accretion-powered millisecond pulsars based on thermal Comptonization in an accretion shock above the NS surface. The shock structure was approximated by an isothermal plane-parallel slab and the Stokes parameters of the emergent radiation were computed as a function of the zenith angle and energy for different values of the electron temperature, the Thomson optical depth of the slab, and the temperature of the seed blackbody photons. We show that our Compton scattering model leads to a significantly lower polarization degree of the emitted radiation compared to the previously used Thomson scattering model. We computed a large grid of shock models, which can be combined with pulse profile modeling techniques both with and without polarization included. In this work, we used the relativistic rotating vector model for the oblate NS in order to produce the observed Stokes parameters as a function of the pulsar phase. Furthermore, we simulated the data to be produced by IXPE and obtained constraints on model parameters using nested sampling. The developed methods can also be used in the analysis of the data from future satellites, such as the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission. | 9 |

Following the works of Ford et al. and Steffen et al. we derived the transit timing of 1960 Kepler objects of interest (KOIs) using the pre-search data conditioning light curves of the first twelve quarters of the Kepler data. For 721 KOIs with large enough signal-to-noise ratios, we obtained also the duration and depth of each transit. The results are presented as a catalog for the community to use. We derived a few statistics of our results that could be used to indicate significant variations. Including systems found by previous works, we have found 130 KOIs that showed highly significant times of transit variations (TTVs) and 13 that had short-period TTV modulations with small amplitudes. We consider two effects that could cause apparent periodic TTV—the finite sampling of the observations and the interference with the stellar activity, stellar spots in particular. We briefly discuss some statistical aspects of our detected TTVs. We show that the TTV period is correlated with the orbital period of the planet and with the TTV amplitude. | 9 |

Astronomy and astrology were combined with medicine for thousands of years. Beginning in Mesopotamia in the second millennium BCE and continuing into the eighteenth century, medical practitioners used astronomy/astrology as an important part of diagnosis and prescription. Throughout this time frame, scientists cited the similarities between medicine and astrology, in addition to combining the two in practice. Hippocrates and Galen based medical theories on the relationship between heavenly bodies and human bodies. In an enduring cultural phenomenon, parts of the body as well as diseases were linked to zodiac signs and planets. In Renaissance universities, astronomy and astrology were studied by students of medicine. History records a long tradition of astrologer-physicians. This chapter covers the topic of astronomy, astrology, and medicine from the Old Babylonian period to the Enlightenment. | 9 |

Over the last three decades, photometric galaxy selection using the Lyman-break technique has transformed our understanding of the high-z Universe, providing large samples of galaxies at $3 \lesssim z \lesssim 8$ with relatively small contamination. With the advent of the JWST, the Lyman-break technique has now been extended to z ~ 17. However, the purity of the resulting samples has not been tested. Here, we use a simple model, built on the robust foundation of the dark matter halo mass function, to show that the expected level of contamination rises dramatically at $z \gtrsim 10$, especially for luminous galaxies, placing stringent requirements on the selection process. The most luminous sources at $z \gtrsim 12$ are likely at least 10 000 times rarer than potential contaminants, so extensive spectroscopic follow-up campaigns may be required to identify a small number of target sources. | 9 |
