We investigate the interior structure of TRAPPIST-1 f (T1-f) using the open-source solver MAGRATHEA and varying assumptions in the interior model. We find that T1-f likely has a wmf of 16.2% ± 9.9% when considering all possible core mass fractions, and requires 6.9% ± 2.0% water at an Earth-like mantle-to-core ratio. We quantify uncertainties from observational precision, model assumptions, and experimental and theoretical data on the bulk modulus of planet-building materials. We show that observational uncertainties are smaller than model assumptions of mantle mineralogy and core composition but larger than hydrosphere, temperature, and equation-of-state assumptions/uncertainties. Our findings show that while precise mass and radius measurements are crucial, uncertainties in planetary models can often outweigh those from observations, emphasizing the importance of refining both theoretical models and experimental data to better understand exoplanet interiors.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193023","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 study presents a detailed spectral and temporal analysis of the black hole candidate Swift J1727.8−1613 using NICER observations from 2023 August and September, with a focus on the first flare period. We detected Type-C QPOs whose centroid frequency increased from 0.33 Hz to 2.63 Hz. An additional increase in frequency was observed when the outburst entered a flare period. The time-averaged spectra, along with the rms and phase-lag spectra of the QPOs, were jointly fitted using the time-dependent Comptonization model vkompthdk to examine the geometry of the corona during this flare. Correlations between spectral and temporal properties suggest that the detected type-C QPOs are primarily modulated by Lense–Thirring precession. Leveraging simultaneous radio observations that indicate discrete jet ejections, we propose a scenario to describe the coevolution of the disk–corona–jet during a flare (∼3 days). This scenario is partially supported for the first time by polarization data in the soft gamma-ray band from the IBIS instrument on board the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory. A phenomenological analysis of the corona scenario was also conducted.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193025","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 this is a powerful method, its generality leads to complicated combinations of variables that are challenging to interpret and require looking up numerical coefficients particular to every different resonance. In this paper, we develop simpler scaling relations in the limit where orbits are closely spaced (period ratios ≲2), and interplanetary interactions can be approximated by only considering the close approaches each time the inner planet overtakes the outer at the conjunction. We develop geometric arguments for several powerful results: (i) that p:p − q MMRs of the same order q are all rescaled versions of one another, (ii) that the general case of two massive planets on closely spaced, eccentric, coplanar orbits can be approximately mapped onto the much simpler case of an eccentric test particle perturbed by a massive planet on a coplanar circular orbit, and (iii) that, while the effects of consecutive conjunctions add up coherently for first-order (p:p − 1) MMRs, they partially cancel for p:p − q MMRs with order q > 1, providing a physical explanation for why these higher-order MMRs are weaker and can often be ignored. Finally, we provide simple expressions for the widths of MMRs and their associated oscillation frequencies that are universal to all closely spaced MMRs of a given order q, in the pendulum approximation.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193164","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 focus on the high temperature plasma (kTe ∼ 4.5 keV) that is responsible for the high energy continuum and exciting the Fe K emission. An image analysis shows that the Fe K emission is mainly concentrated in the southern part of the remnant interior to the region defined by the forward shock. This Fe K distribution would be consistent with an asymmetric distribution of the Fe ejecta and/or an asymmetric interaction between the reverse shock and the Fe ejecta. We compare the EPIC-pn and EPIC-MOS spectra in the 3.0–12.0 keV bandpass with a model based on RGS data plus a higher temperature component, in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE), or nonequilibrium (both ionizing and recombining). We find that the data are equally well fitted by the CIE and ionizing models. Assuming the CIE and ionizing spectral models, the Fe in this high temperature component is significantly enhanced with respect to typical LMC abundances. We can place only an upper limit on the neutral Fe K line. We conclude that the Fe K emission is due to ejecta heated by the reverse shock given the spatial distribution, relatively high temperature, and enhanced abundance. We estimate the progenitor mass based on the Ca/Fe and Ni/Fe mass ratios to be 13 ≤ MP ≤ 15M⊙.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193165","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 most fundamental question regarding these species is under which conditions they reside in the gas versus solid phase. Here, we characterize the thermal desorption kinetics, binding energies, and entrapment of the organosulfur methyl mercaptan (CH3SH, or MeSH) in different ice environments, comparing them with those of methanol (CH3OH, or MeOH) ices. The derived multilayer (pure MeSH–MeSH) and submonolayer (layered MeSH–H2O) binding energies are surprisingly similar, corresponding to snow line locations where the disk midplane temperature is ∼105 K. In both H2O-dominated and more realistic H2O:CO2-dominated ices, 100% of the MeSH is entrapped, almost exclusively desorbing at the molecular volcano desorption peak, indicating that MeSH is retained at the water snow line if initially mixed with water ice during formation. Additionally, the presence of MeSH in an ice mixture enhances the entrapment of CO2 and MeOH (up to 100%) until the onset of volcano desorption; without MeSH, both desorb at their respective pure desorption temperatures and also codesorb with water. Compared to MeOH, MeSH binds less well to water, explaining why MeSH escapes during water ice crystallization rather than codesorbing with water. These results show that the larger relative size of MeSH compared to MeOH significantly impacts its ability to bind to water and its entrapment efficiency. Therefore, molecular size plays an important role in the adsorption and retention of S-bearing organics and, in turn, other volatiles in ices.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193161","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 has proven to be a significant barrier in understanding the (often diverse) ionizing sources powering this emission. We present Cue,10a highly flexible tool for interpreting nebular emission across a wide range of abundances and ionizing conditions of galaxies at different redshifts. Unlike typical nebular models used to interpret extragalactic nebular emission, our model does not require a specific ionizing spectrum as a source, instead approximating the ionizing spectrum with a four-part piecewise power law. We train a neural net emulator based on the CLOUDY photoionization modeling code and make self-consistent nebular continuum and line emission predictions. Along with the flexible ionizing spectra, we allow freedom in [O/H], [N/O], [C/O], gas density, and total ionizing photon budget. This flexibility allows us to either marginalize over or directly measure the incident ionizing radiation, thereby directly interrogating the source of the ionizing photons in distant galaxies via their nebular emission. Our emulator demonstrates a high accuracy, with ∼1% uncertainty in predicting the nebular continuum and ∼5% uncertainty in the emission lines. Mock tests suggest Cue is well calibrated and produces useful constraints on the ionizing spectra when the signal-to-noise ratio of Hα is ≳10, and furthermore capable of distinguishing between the ionizing spectra predicted by single and binary stellar models. The computational efficiency of neural networks facilitates future applications of Cue for rapid modeling of the nebular emission in large samples and Monte Carlo sampling techniques.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193162","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 focus on the 3–6 keV energy band on regions near the shell dominated by nonthermal synchrotron emission. By combining IXPE’s polarization sensitivity with Chandra’s higher spatial and spectral resolution, we constrain the local polarization degree (PD) and polarization angle across the remnant. Our analysis reveals PD values ranging locally from 10% to 26%, showing significant regional variations that underscore the complex magnetic field morphology of Cas A. The polarization vectors indicate a predominantly radial magnetic field, consistent with previous studies. Thanks to the improved modeling of thermal contamination using Chandra data, we retrieve higher PD values compared to earlier IXPE analysis and more significant detections with respect to the standard IXPEOBSSIM analysis.

As more exoplanet atmospheres are being characterized with JWST, we are starting to unveil their properties on a population level. Here we present a framework for comparing exoplanet transmission spectroscopy from 3 to 5 μm with four bands: L (2.9–3.7 μm), SO2 (3.95–4.1 μm), CO2 (4.25–4.4 μm), and CO (4.5–4.9 μm). Together, the four bands cover the major carbon-, oxygen-, nitrogen-, and sulfur-bearing molecules including H2O, CH4, NH3, H2S, SO2, CO2, and CO. Among the eight high-precision gas giant exoplanet planet spectra we collect, we find strong correlations between the SO2 – L index and planet mass (r = −0.41 ± 0.09) and temperature (r = −0.64 ± 0.08), indicating SO2 preferably exists (SO2 – L > −0.5) among low-mass (∼ <0.3 MJ) and cooler (∼ <1200 K) targets. We also observe strong temperature dependency for both CO2 – L and CO – L indices. Under equilibrium chemistry and isothermal thermal structure assumptions, we find that the planet sample favors supersolar metallicity and a low C/O ratio (<0.7). In addition, the presence of a mass–metallicity correlation is favored over uniform metallicity with the eight planets. We further introduce the SO2 – L versus CO2 – L diagram, similar to the color–magnitude diagram for stars and brown dwarfs. All reported trends here will be testable and will be further quantified with existing and future JWST observations within the next few years.","PeriodicalId":501813,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193029","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}
