We report a new object where pc-scale CO depletion is expected. As part of the Kagoshima Galactic Object survey with Nobeyama 45 m telescope by Mapping in Ammonia lines (KAGONMA), we have made mapping observations of NH3 inversion transition lines towards the star-forming region associated with Canis Major OB1, including IRAS 07077−1026, IRAS 07081−1028, and PGCC G224.28−0.82. By comparing the spatial distributions of NH3 (1,1) and C18O (J = 1–0), an intensity anti-correlation was found in IRAS 07077−1026 and IRAS 07081−1028 on the ∼1 pc scale. Furthermore, we obtained a lower abundance of C18O at least in IRAS 07077−1026 than in the other parts of the star-forming region. After examining high-density gas dissipation, photodissociation, and CO depletion, we concluded that the intensity anti-correlation in IRAS 07077−1026 is due to CO depletion. On the other hand, in the vicinity of the center of PGCC G224.28−0.82, the emission line intensities of both NH3 (1,1) and C18O (J = 1–0) were strongly detected, although the gas temperature and density were similar to IRAS 07077−1026. This indicates that there are situations where C18O (J = 1–0) cannot trace dense gas on the pc scale and implies that the conditional differences in which C18O (J = 1–0) can and cannot trace dense gas are unclear.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138556306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Our aim was to investigate features of the stellar magnetic activity behavior. We correlated the Hα line variability of each star with the stellar activity levels derived from the Ca ii H&K line, suggesting its efficiency as a magnetic activity indicator. In analyzing the Hα line variation, we observed that some stars exhibited linear or quadratic trends during the observation period. Among several G- and K-type stars expected to have co-existing activity cycles, we confirmed the 2.9 yr short cycle of ϵ Eri (K2V) from the Hα observations. Additionally, we established upper limits on the Hα variability of β Com (G0V) and κ1 Cet (G5V) concerning their expected shorter cycles. We also detected the possibility of short-term activity cycles in two F-type stars, β Vir (F9V; ∼530 d) and α CMi (F5IV-V; ∼130 d). The cycle in α CMi was observed in only one season of our 4 yr observations, suggesting the temporal absence of the cycle period. However, for stars with planets, we did not observe significant magnetic activity variability likely associated with the planetary orbital period. It is speculated that the impact of Hα variability on radial velocity (RV) measurements may vary with spectral type.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138507863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

As the first step of HINOTORI, we construct the largest RG sample with 1071 sources. We select these RGs from 8857 MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO) survey galaxies by reconstructing their star formation histories with the Prospector spectral energy distribution fitting code. Both optical spectral data and UV to IR photometric data are used for the fitting. Using mock data, we confirm that our method can detect weak rejuvenation events that form only about $0.1$% of the total stellar mass with high completeness. The RGs account for ${sim}10$% of the whole sample, and rejuvenation events contribute on average only about $0.1$% of the total stellar mass in those galaxies but $17$% of the cosmic star formation rate density today. Our RGs have a similar mass distribution to quiescent galaxies (QGs). However, the morphology of the RGs is more disk-like than QGs, suggesting that rejuvenation may occur selectively in disk-like QGs. Our results also suggest the possibility of multiple-time rejuvenation events in a single galaxy. Further spatially resolved analyses of integral field unit data and radio observations and comparisons to simulations are needed to identify the mechanism and the role of rejuvenation in galaxy evolution.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138507877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Here we report 12CO (J = 1–0) and 13CO (J = 1–0) observations towards a star-forming region in DDO 154, a low-metallicity dwarf irregular galaxy at 12 + log (O$/$H) = 7.67. This is a re-observation of a previous non-detection at higher angular and velocity resolution. No significant emission was detected. By estimating the molecular gas mass from associated star formation, we find that DDO 154 has a conversion factor of more than 103 times the Milky Way. Alternatively, if we estimate molecular mass using dust continuum emission, the conversion factor is at least 2 orders of magnitude larger than the Milky Way.

We present measurements of the soft X-ray background emission for 130 Suzaku observations at 75° < l < 285° and |b| > 15°. With the standard soft X-ray background model consisting of the local hot bubble and of the Milky Way halo, residual structures remain at 0.7–1 keV in the spectra of some regions. Adding a collisional-ionization-equilibrium component with a temperature of ∼0.8 keV, much higher than the virial temperature of the Milky Way, significantly reduces the derived C-statistic for 56 out of 130 observations. The emission measure of the 0.8 keV component varies by more than an order of magnitude: assuming the solar abundance, the median value is $3 times 10^{-4}, rm {cm^{-6} pc}$ and the 16th–84th percentile range is $(1!-!8) times 10^{-4}, rm {cm^{-6} pc}$. Regions toward the Orion–Eridanus superbubble, having a large cavity extending from the Ori OB1 association, have the highest emission measures of the 0.8 keV component. While the scatter is large, the emission measures tend to be higher toward lower galactic latitudes. We discuss possible biases caused by the solar wind charge exchange, stars, and background groups. The 0.8 keV component is probably heated by supernovae in the Milky Way disk, possibly related to Galactic fountains.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 conduct spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopy of the shock–cloud interacting region of RCW 86 with XMM–Newton. It is found that bright soft X-ray filaments surround the dense cloud, observed with 12CO and H i emission lines. These filaments are brighter in thermal X-ray emission, and fainter and possibly softer in synchrotron X-rays, compared to those without interaction. Our results show that the shock decelerates due to the interaction with clouds, which results in an enhancement of thermal X-ray emission. This could possibly also explain the softer X-ray synchrotron component, because it implies that those shocks that move through a low-density environment, and therefore decelerate much less, can be more efficient accelerators. This is similar to SN 1006 and Tycho, and is in contrast to RX J1713.7−3946. This difference among remnants may be due to the clumpiness of dense material interacting with the shock, which should be examined in future observations.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135540768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The star formation rate of NGC 4151 is too low to explain the observed GeV flux, but the galaxy is known for its coronal activity in X-ray and jet activity in radio. We propose that either the combination of these two activities or the jet activity alone can account for the gamma-ray spectrum. An energy-dependent variability search will allow one to distinguish between the two scenarios, as the coronal component can only contribute at energies of ≲1 GeV. Our analysis also indicates that it might still be difficult to see coronal neutrinos from the apparently X-ray brightest Seyfert NGC 4151 with current-generation neutrino observatories.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136068192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The emission-line images generated from the KOOLS-IFU data cube successfully resolve the ellipsoidal nebula and the equatorial flattened disk that are frequently seen in bipolar PNe evolved from massive progenitors.

Contamination of the data for the nebula region by the pulsar emission was removed through application of a stringent pulsation phase cut, extracting a phase range of 0.7–1.0 only. We found that the electric-field vector polarization angle (PA) was about 130○ from north to east with a polarization degree (PD) of about 25% at the pulsar position, indicating that the direction of the toroidal magnetic field is perpendicular to the pulsar spin axis in the region close to the termination shock. The PA gradually deviated from the angle as an increasing function of the distance from the pulsar. There was a region of low PD to the west of the X-ray torus. Although such a region is expected to be located at the torus edge, where geometrical depolarization due to a steep spatial variation of the PA is expected, the observed low-PD region positionally deviated from the edge. We found that the region of low PD positionally coincided with a dense filament seen in the optical band, and conjecture that the low-PD region may be produced through deflection of the pulsar wind. By comparing the values of the PD at the pulsar position between the data and a model, in which toroidal and turbulent magnetic fields were considered, we estimated the fractional energy of the turbulent magnetic field to be about 2$/$3 of the total. We also evaluated the potential polarization of the northern jet in the nebula and derived the PD and PA to be about 30% and 120○, respectively.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136316799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
