From a set of 79 unpolarized and circularly polarized spectra of V347 Aur to which we applied Least-Squares Deconvolution (LSD), we derived radial velocities and longitudinal fields, along with their temporal variations over our monitoring campaign of 1258 d. Our data show that V347 Aur is an eccentric binary system with an orbital period 154.6 ± 0.7 d, experiencing strong to extreme accretion events near periastron. The companion is a 29.0 ± 1.6${rm M}_{2!_{4}}$ brown dwarf, a rare member of the brown dwarf desert of close companions around M dwarfs. We detect weak longitudinal fields (&lt;100 G) at the surface of V347 Aur, significantly weaker than those of more evolved prototypical T Tauri stars. These fields show small-amplitude rotational modulation, indicating a mainly axisymmetric parent large-scale magnetic topology, and larger fluctuations at half the orbital period, suggesting that what we dub a ‘pulsed dynamo’ triggered by orbital motion and pulsed accretion operates in V347 Aur. Applying Zeeman-Doppler imaging to our circularly polarised LSD profiles, we find that the large-scale field of V347 Aur is mainly toroidal for most of our observations, with the toroidal component switching sign near periastron and apoastron. The weak large-scale dipole (≃ 30 G) is not able to disrupt the disc beyond 1.3 R⋆ even at the lowest accretion rates, implying longitudinally distributed (rather than localized) accretion at the surface of the protostar.","PeriodicalId":18930,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that the spatial extents and spatial distribution of vortices vary for different set-ups even though the photospheric turbulence responsible for generating vortices has similar profiles for all three regions. We investigate kinetic and magnetic swirling strength and find them consistent with the Alfvén wave propagation. Using a flux tube expansion model and linear MHD wave theory, we find that the deviation in kinetic swirling strength from the theoretically expected value is the highest for the Strong Plage, least for the Weak Plage, and intermediate for the Quiet Sun at chromospheric heights. It suggests that Weak Plage is the most favoured region for chromospheric swirls, though they are of smaller spatial extents than in Quiet Sun. We also conjecture that vortex interactions within a single flux tube in Strong Plage lead to an energy cascade from larger to smaller vortices that further result in much lower values of kinetic swirling strength than other regions. Fourier spectra of horizontal magnetic fields at 1 Mm height also show the steep cascade from large to smaller scales for Strong Plage. These findings indicate the potential of vortex-induced torsional Alfvén waves to travel higher in the atmosphere without damping for weaker magnetic regions such as the Quiet Sun, whereas vortices would result in dissipation and heating due to the vortex interactions in narrow flux tubes for the strongly magnetized regions such as Strong Plage.","PeriodicalId":18930,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"152 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leveraging machine learning (ML), we classify asteroids into Near-Earth Asteroids (particularly Atens, Amors, Apollos, and Apoheles) and Non Near-Earth Asteroids, further categorizing them based on hazard potential. Training the seven models on a comprehensive dataset of 4687 asteroids, we achieve high accuracy in prediction. The predictive capability of these models is critical for informed decision-making in planetary defense strategies. We apply different regularization techniques to prevent overfitting and validate the models using a large unseen dataset. A rigorous long-term N-body integration spanning 1 million years is executed utilizing the Mercury N-body integrator to illuminate the evolution of asteroid properties over extended temporal scales. Following this integration process, the best-performing ML model is employed to classify asteroids based on their orbital characteristics and hazardous status respectively. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of ML in asteroid classification and prediction, paving the way for large-scale applications. By dividing a 1 million-year integration into intervals, we uncover temporal trends in asteroid behavior, revealing insights into hazard evolution and ejection patterns. Notably, initially, hazardous asteroids tend to transition to non-hazardous states over time, elucidating key dynamics in planetary defense. We illustrate these findings through plotted graphs, providing valuable insights into asteroid dynamics. These insights are instrumental in advancing our understanding of long-term asteroid behavior, with significant implications for future research and planetary protection efforts.","PeriodicalId":18930,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliable determination of the planetary density depends on accurate measurement of the planet’s radius, obtained from the transit depth and photodynamical determination of the stellar radius. The stellar density, and hence the stellar radius are typically determined in a model-independent way from the star’s reflex orbital acceleration and the transit profile. Additional flux coming from the system due to a bright, undetected stellar binary companion can, however, potentially dilute the transit curve and radial velocity signal, leading to under-estimation of the planet’s mass and radius, and to overestimation of the planet’s density. In this study, we cross-check the published radii of all the WASP planet host stars, determined from their transit profiles and radial-velocity curves, against radiometric measurements of stellar radii derived from their angular diameters (via the Infrared Flux method) and trigonometric parallaxes. We identify eight systems showing radiometric stellar radii significantly greater than their published photodynamical values: WASPs 20, 85, 86, 103, 105, 129, 144 and 171. We investigate these systems in more detail to establish plausible ranges of angular and radial-velocity separations within which such ‘stealth binaries’ could evade detection, and deduce their likely orbital periods, mass ratios, and flux ratios. After accounting for the dilution of transit depth and radial velocity amplitude, we find that on average, the planetary densities for the identified stealth binary systems should be reduced by a factor of 1.3.","PeriodicalId":18930,"journal":{"name":"Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Massive stars are sampled individually and interact with the ISM through the formation of HII regions and supernova explosions. In the extended starburst phase, the ISM is dominated by cold (Tgas &lt; 300 K) filamentary clouds with self-similar internal structures.

Channel maps reveal complex kinematics and morphology, indicating multiple processes at work in NGC 6868. Through emission-line fitting, we identified two ubiquitous components in our data: a narrow (σ ∼ 110 km s−1) tracing an ionized gas disc and a broad component (σ ∼ 300 km s−1) mainly associated with inflowing/outflowing gas. The derived V-band reddening shows a spatial distribution consistent with that obtained from stellar population synthesis, although with generally higher values. For the first time, we measured the electron temperature in NGC 6868, finding values ranging from ∼14000 K in the central region to ≳ 20000 K with an outward increasing temperature gradient. The electron density map exhibits an inverse relationship, with central values reaching Ne ∼ 4000 cm-3 for the broad component decreasing to Ne ∼ 100 cm-3 towards the edges of the field of view. Using BPT diagrams, we found that all spaxels are consistent with both AGN and shock ionization. However, when this information is combined with our kinematic and temperature findings, and further supported by the WHAN diagram, we argue that an AGN is the dominant ionisation mechanism in the central region of NGC 6868, while the extended outer component is ionized by a combination of hot low-mass evolved stars and shocks.
