In this work, we search for emission lines in the top 30 highest fluence GRBs in the Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog observed by the Fermi/Gamma-ray Burst Monitor. Although no new lines are confirmed, there are a portion of GRBs that seem to show emission line features in their spectra with mean values of 61 keV, 110 keV, and 2.1 MeV, respectively. However, considering that the redshifts of these GRBs are different, the observed emission line features have almost identical central energy, thus the ∼110 keV spectral line should be caused by instrumental effects rather than GRB or other astronomical sources. The ∼61 keV and ∼2.1 MeV are comparable to 57.6 keV and 2.2 MeV, which are spectral lines confirmed to come from the excited energy level of 127I and the neutron capture line, respectively, as reported by previous studies. Our findings indicate that various effects may produce emission line-like features in the GRB spectrum and caution should be taken to carefully identify whether they are from GRB, other astronomical sources, or instrumental effects. Finally, the lack of spectral lines searched in other bright GRBs implies the special radiation mechanism of the spectral lines in GRB 221009A.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836988","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}

Particularly, in some regions the gas-phase D abundances are substantially lower than the primordial D abundance generated in the Big Bang after subtracting the astration reduction caused by the Galactic chemical evolution. Deuterated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have been suggested as a potential reservoir of the D atoms missing from the gas phase. Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope’s Near Infrared Spectrograph have revealed how widespread deuterated PAHs are in the Orion Bar through their aliphatic C–D emission at 4.65 μm and possibly aromatic C–D emission at 4.4 μm as well. To examine the viability of deuterated PAHs as the D reservoir, we model the infrared emission spectra of small PAH molecules containing various aromatic and aliphatic D atoms in the Orion Bar. We find that small deuterated PAHs exhibit a noticeable emission band at 4.4 or 4.65 μm even if they contain only one aromatic or aliphatic D atom. We derive ND,ali/NH ≈ 3.4%, the deuteration degree of PAHs measured as the number of aliphatic D atoms (relative to H), from the observed intensity ratios of the 4.65 μm band to the 3.3 μm aromatic C–H band. The deuteration degree for aromatically deuterated PAHs is less certain as C–N stretch also contributes to the observed emission around 4.4 μm. If we attribute it exclusively to aromatic C–D, we derive an upper limit of ≈14% on the deuteration degree, which is capable of accounting for an appreciable fraction of the missing D budget.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832362","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 luminosity of HCN and HCO+J = 1 → 0 lines are converted to a dense gas mass by the conversion factor, αQ. Traditionally, this αQ has been considered constant throughout the Galaxy and in other galaxies, regardless of the environment. We analyzed 17 outer Galaxy clouds and five inner Galaxy clouds with metallicities ranging from 0.38 Z⊙ to 1.29 Z⊙. Our analysis indicates that αQ is not constant; instead, it varies with metallicity. The metallicity-corrected αQ derived from the HCN luminosity of the entire cloud is almost three times higher in the outer Galaxy than in the inner Galaxy. In contrast, HCO+ seems less sensitive to metallicity. We recommend using the metallicity-corrected dense gas conversion factors and for extragalactic studies. Radiation from nearby stars has an effect on the conversion factor of a similar magnitude as that of the metallicity. If we extend the metallicity-corrected scaling relation for HCN to the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), the value of becomes one-third to one-half of the local values. This effect could partially account for the low star formation rate per dense gas mass observed in the CMZ.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832364","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}

This sample covers a wide metallicity range from [Fe/H] ∼ −1.7 dex down to −4.3 dex, including 13 objects with [Fe/H] ≤ −3.0 dex. Here, we present a set of homogeneous stellar atmospheric parameters, including the effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, and microturbulence velocity with the spectroscopic method, and the NLTE line formation for both Fe i and Fe ii in the classical one-dimensional model atmospheres have been considered. The NLTE effects of the Fe i lines range from ∼0.03 dex to ∼0.3 dex, and increase with decreasing metallicity. In addition, they depend on the surface gravity, which generally increases with decreasing . The largest NLTE effects can be found for the giants of ∼ 2.5 dex. For dwarfs and subgiants, our final effective temperatures are consistent with those derived from the TIRFM scales of A. Alonso et al. with a mean difference of 7.1 ± 100.2 K, while for giants, our results are slightly lower than those from the TIRFM scales of A. Alonso et al. with a mean difference of −69.5 ± 94.1 K.

This work examines the effect of the merging cluster environment on the properties of radio AGN by comparing the radio morphology of cluster members in a sample of four merging and eight relaxed galaxy clusters at low redshift (z < 0.2). Using 144 MHz data from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey and Zooniverse, we classify the radio morphology of the radio-detected cluster members using the following morphology classes: compact, compact extended, extended, jetted, and disturbed. We find that the merging cluster environment has a statistically significant, higher population proportion of disturbed (bent and head tail) sources, indicating that the merging environment can affect the morphology of cluster radio AGN. We also investigate the number of AGN that are detected in the radio data only and the number that are detected in both the radio and optical data in mergers and nonmergers. We find that the merging cluster environment has a higher population proportion of AGN that are identified only as radio AGN compared to AGN that are identified as both radio and optical AGN. Overall, we find that the merging environment affects certain radio AGN (disturbed and only radio-identified AGN), but not all.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832359","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 re-brightening TDEs challenge the existing light-curve fitting tools designed to handle a single flare. In this work, we present a model aimed at reproducing the light curve of the re-brightening TDEs, based on the scenario that the consecutive flares are produced by the same star that experienced two partial TDEs. We also developed a fitting code from this model and applied it to two re-brightening TDEs: AT 2022dbl and AT 2023adr. The light curves of both TDEs are well-fitted. Finally, we forecast the time and peak brightness of the next flare for these two TDEs so that observers can prepare to examine our model.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832429","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}

We find a wide range of sizes for these early galaxies, with galaxy sizes overall continuing to become progressively smaller in the high-redshift regime, following kpc. We further find a galaxy size–mass correlation up to z ∼ 12, with galaxies of a given mass also becoming smaller. Using nonparametric methods, we find that galaxy merger fractions, classified through asymmetry parameters, at these redshifts remain consistent with those in the literature, maintaining a value of fm ∼ 0.12 ± 0.07 showing little dependence with redshift when combined with the literature at z > 4. We find that galaxies that are smaller in size also appear rounder, with an excess of high axis ratio objects.

These stars are thought to be debris from dwarf galaxy accretion early in the Milky Way’s history. Though typically considered to be from a single merger, it is possible that the GSE debris has multiple sources. To investigate this possibility, we use the IllustrisTNG50 simulation to identify stellar accretion histories in 98 Milky Way analogs—the largest sample for which such an identification has been performed—and find GSE-like debris in 32, with two-merger GSEs accounting for a third of these cases. Distinguishing single-merger GSEs from two-merger GSEs is difficult in common kinematic spaces, but differences are more evident through chemical abundances and star formation histories. This is because single-merger GSEs are typically accreted more recently than the galaxies in two-merger GSEs: the median infall times (with 16th and 84th percentiles) are and Gyr ago for single- and two-merger scenarios, respectively. The systematic shifts in abundances and ages that occur as a result suggest that efforts in modeling these aspects of the stellar halo prove ever-important in understanding its assembly.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827733","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}

While a total of 10 radio bursts were detected by FAST during the Swift observations, we detected no X-ray, UV, or optical bursts in accompany with the radio bursts. We obtained the energy upper limits (3σ) on any multwavelength bursts as follows: 5.03 × 1047 erg in the hard X-ray band (15–150 keV), 7.98 × 1045 erg in the soft X-ray band (0.3–10 keV), and 4.51 × 1044 erg in the U band (3465 Å), respectively. The energy ratio between soft X-ray (0.3–10 keV) and radio emission of the bursts is constrained as <6 × 107, and the ratio between optical (U band) and radio as <1.19 × 106.
