To achieve a binary with a small radial separation, it is believed that the system likely undergoes common envelope (CE) evolution. Despite its importance, CE evolution may be one of the largest uncertainties in binary evolution due to a combination of computational challenges and a lack of observed benchmarks where both the post-CE and pre-CE conditions are known. Identifying post-CE systems in star clusters can partially circumvent this second issue by providing an independent age constraint on the system. For the first time, we conduct a systematic search for white dwarf and main-sequence binary systems in 299 Milky Way open star clusters. Coupling Gaia DR3 photometry and kinematics with multiband photometry from Pan-STARRS1 and the Two Micron All Sky Survey, we apply a machine learning-based approach and find 52 high-probability candidates in 38 open clusters. For a subset of our systems, we present follow-up spectroscopy from the Gemini and Lick Observatories and archival light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, Kepler/K2, and the Zwicky Transient Facility. Examples of M dwarfs with hot companions are spectroscopically observed, along with regular system variability. While the kinematics of our candidates are consistent with their host clusters, some systems have spatial positions offset relative to their hosts, potentially indicative of natal kicks. Ultimately, this catalog is a first step to obtaining a set of observational benchmarks to better link post-CE systems to their pre-CE progenitors.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After estimating the emission due to the hot gas component (reducing the sample to ∼400 galaxies), we compared the XLF in three redshift bins (z = 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5), finding increases in the number of galaxies per unit comoving volume from z = 0.1 to 0.3 and then from z = 0.3 to 0.5. These XLF changes suggest a significant (∼5σ) X-ray luminosity evolution of the hot gas, with LX,GAS decreasing by a factor of 6–10 in the last 5 Gyr (from z = 0.5 to 0.1). The relative abundance of LX,GAS ∼ 1041 erg s−1 galaxies at higher z suggests that high-z, moderate-LX,GAS galaxies may be the optimal target to solve the missing baryon problem. In early-type galaxies, this observational trend is qualitatively consistent with (but larger than) the expected time-dependent mass-loss rate in cooling flow models without active galactic nucleus feedback. In late-type galaxies, the observational trend is also qualitatively consistent with (but larger than) the effect of the z-dependent star formation rate.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"222 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142643161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were collected using the 1.3 m Devasthal fast optical telescope and 3.6 m Devasthal optical telescope at ARIES, Nainital, over two consecutive days in 2022 March.

In comparison to several previous studies with lag estimation <90 minutes, our calculated Hα lag supersedes them by minutes, using the ICCF and JAVELIN methods.

The survey will connect galaxy properties (e.g., stellar mass M*, interstellar medium, hereafter ISM, metallicity) with the physical conditions of the inner CGM (e.g., kinematics, metallicity) to directly observe the galaxy-scale baryon cycle. We obtain deep Keck/KCWI optical IFU pointings of KBSS QSOs to discover new star-forming galaxies at small projected distances b ≲ 12″ (98 kpc, ), then obtain follow-up Keck/MOSFIRE near-IR spectra to confirm their redshifts. We leverage KBSS images and Keck/High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer QSO spectra to model stellar populations and inner CGM absorption. In this paper, we analyze two QSO fields and discover more than 15 new galaxies with KCWI, then use MOSFIRE for two galaxies Q2343-G1 (z = 2.43; G1) and Q2233-N1 (z = 3.15; N1), which are both associated with damped Lyα absorbers. We find that G1 has typical M*, UV/optical emission properties. N1 has lower M* with very strong nebular emission. We jointly analyze neutral phase CGM and ionized ISM in N/O (for the first time at this z), dust extinction, and high-ionization CGM finding that G1's CGM is metal poor and less evolved than its ISM, while N1's CGM and ISM abundances are comparable; their CGM shows ∼1 dex less dust extinction than the ISM; and G1's CGM has direct evidence of hot, metal-rich galactic outflow ejecta. These findings support that metals and dust are driven into the CGM from outflows, but may also be, e.g., stripped ISM gas or satellite enrichment.

Now with a nearly exact (<1 kHz) frequency match to the J = 2–1 and 3–2 transitions in the astronomical data, using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis, a best fit to the total HCCCHO column density of cm−2 was found with a surprisingly low excitation temperature of just over 3 K.

While previously classified as an intermediate polar, CJ2056 also exhibits the properties of WZ Sge–type CVs, such as dwarf novae and superoutbursts. With XMM-Newton and NICER, we detected the spin period up to ∼2 keV with 7σ significance. We constrained its derivative to s s−1 after correcting for binary orbital motion. The pulse profile is characterized by a single broad peak with ∼25% modulation. NuSTAR detected a fourfold increase in unabsorbed X-ray flux coincident with an optical flare, in 2022 November. The XMM-Newton and NICER X-ray spectra at 0.310 keV are best characterized by an absorbed, optically thin three-temperature thermal plasma model (kT = 0.3, 1.0, and 4.9 keV), while the NuSTAR spectra at 3–30 keV are best fit by a single-temperature thermal plasma model (kT = 8.4 keV), both with Fe abundance ZFe/Z⊙ = 0.3. CJ2056 exhibits similarities to other fast-spinning CVs, such as low plasma temperatures and no significant X-ray absorption at low energies.

However, spatially resolving the torus is difficult because of its small size. To probe the clump conditions in the torus, we therefore perform the systematic velocity-decomposition analyses of the gaseous 12CO rovibrational absorption lines (v = 0 → 1, ΔJ = ±1) at λ ∼ 4.67 μm observed toward four (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies using the high-resolution (R ∼ 5000–10,000) spectroscopy from the Subaru Telescope. We find that each transition has two to five distinct velocity components with different line-of-sight (LOS) velocities (VLOS ∼ −240 to +100 km s−1) and dispersions (σV ∼ 15–190 km s−1), i.e., the components (a), (b), ⋯, beginning with the broadest one in each target, indicating that the tori have clumpy structures. By assuming a hydrostatic disk ( ), we find that the tori has dynamic inner structures, with the innermost component (a) outflowing with velocity ∣VLOS∣ ∼ 160–240 km s−1, and the outer components (b) and (c) outflowing more slowly or infalling with ∣VLOS∣ ≲ 100 km s−1. In addition, we find that the innermost component (a) can be attributed to collisionally excited hot (≳530 K) and dense ( ) clumps, based on the level populations. Conversely, the outer component (b) can be attributed to cold (∼30–140 K) clumps radiatively excited by a far-infrared-to-submillimeter background with a brightness temperature higher than ∼20–400 K. These observational results demonstrate the clumpy and dynamic structure of tori in the presence of background radiation.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
