This galaxy is originally selected from the MaNGA survey with distinctive bipolar Hα blobs at the minor axis. The bipolar feature can be associated with active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity, while the two blobs are classified as the H ii regions on the BPT diagram, making the origins confusing. The Swift UV continuum shows that the two blobs do not have UV counterparts, suggesting that the source of ionization is out of the blobs. Consistent with this, the detailed photoionization models prefer AGN rather than the star-forming origin with a significance of 5.8σ. The estimated BH mass is MBH ∼ 7.2 × 105M⊙ from the MBH–σ* relationship. This work introduces a novel method for detecting the light echo of BHs, potentially extending to intermediate mass, in low-metallicity environments where the traditional BPT diagram fails.","PeriodicalId":501814,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142100977","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}

In this study, we investigate TESS's ability to detect microlensing FFPs by considering the detailed source information (e.g., distance and radius), the TESS photometric accuracy, and finite-source effects. Using the FFP mass function from microlensing surveys toward the Galactic bulge, we find that only 0.0018 microlensing events are expected to be detected in TESS Sector 61 for the entire planetary mass range. The reported signal is unlikely to be a real microlensing event, which is consistent with the evidence from the long-term Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment data that the signal was likely due to a stellar flare. By extrapolating our result to fainter stars until T = 16 mag and adopting a possible optimized search algorithm, we find that only ∼1 FFP event can be detected in the entire TESS mission within the first 7 yr. Significant improvements in our understanding of FFPs still require future satellite missions, such as Roman and Earth 2.0, which can detect thousands of FFPs.","PeriodicalId":501814,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084906","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}

Together with the nova shell ejected in the 1970s, this makes RX Pup the first system with three nova shells observed. This triad of eruptions suggests a change in the nova recurrence time. The most likely explanation is an alteration in the mass transfer rate attributed to evolutionary changes of the mass donor in the system. Notably, comparative analyses with theoretical models indicate an increase in the average mass transfer rate by a factor of 3 over the past 10,000 yr.

The light-curve evolution over the first 30 hr can be fit by two power-law indices with a break after 22 hr, rising from MV ≈ −12.95 mag at +0.66 day to MV ≈ −17.91 mag after 7 days. In addition, the densely sampled color curve shows a strong blueward evolution over the first few days and then behaves as a normal SN II with a redward evolution as the ejecta cool. Such deviations could be due to interaction with circumstellar material (CSM). Early high- and low-resolution spectra clearly show high-ionization flash features from the first spectrum to +3.42 days after the explosion. From the high-resolution spectra, we calculate the CSM velocity to be 37 ± 4 km s−1. We also see the line strength evolve rapidly from 1.22 to 1.49 days in the earliest high-resolution spectra. Comparison of the low-resolution spectra with CMFGEN models suggests that the pre-explosion mass-loss rate of SN 2024ggi falls in the range of 10−3–10−2M☉ yr−1, which is similar to that derived for SN 2023ixf.

At these scales, the spectrum of turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind steepens, often called the transition range, before flattening at sub-ion scales. Circularly polarized waves have been proposed as a mechanism to couple electromagnetic fluctuations to ion gyromotion, enabling ion-scale dissipation that results in observed ion-scale steepening. Here we study Parker Solar Probe observations of an extended stream of fast solar wind ranging from ∼15 to 55 R⊙. We demonstrate that, throughout the stream, transition range steepening at ion scales is associated with the presence of significant left-handed ion-kinetic-scale waves, which are thought to be ion cyclotron waves. We implement quasilinear theory to compute the rate at which ions are heated via cyclotron resonance with the observed circularly polarized waves given the empirically measured proton velocity distribution functions. We apply the Von Kármán decay law to estimate the turbulent decay of the large-scale fluctuations, which is equal to the turbulent energy cascade rate. We find that the ion cyclotron heating rates are correlated with, and amount to a significant fraction of, the turbulent energy cascade rate, implying that cyclotron heating is an important dissipation mechanism in the solar wind.","PeriodicalId":501814,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142045415","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}

Superflares, common in active, cool stars, persist mostly from minutes to several hours and alter the star's luminosity across the electromagnetic spectrum. Recent observations of a young main-sequence star reveal a distinctive cool loop arcade forming above the flaring region during a 27 hr superflare event, obscuring the region multiple times. Analysis of these occultations enables the estimation of the arcade's geometry and physical properties. The arcade's size expanded from 0.213 to 0.391 R* at a speed of approximately 3.5 km s−1. The covering structure exhibited a thickness below 12,200 km, with electron densities ranging from 1013 to 1014 cm−3 and temperatures below 7600 K, 6400 K, and 5077 K for successive occultations. Additionally, the flare's maximum emission temperature has to exceed 12,000 K for the occultations to appear. Comparing these parameters with known values from other stars and the Sun suggests the structure's nature as an arcade of cool flare loops. For the first time, we present the physical parameters and the reconstructed geometry of the cool flare loops that obscure the flaring region during the gradual phase of a long-duration flare on a star other than the Sun.","PeriodicalId":501814,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084907","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}

However, extended gaseous structures have been uncovered around many protoplanetary disks, suggestive of late-stage infall from the interstellar medium (ISM). To quantify the prevalence of late-stage infall, we apply an excursion set formalism to track the local density and relative velocity of the ISM over the disk lifetime. We then combine the theoretical Bondi–Hoyle–Lyttleton (BHL) accretion rate with a simple disk evolution model, anchoring stellar accretion timescales to observational constraints. Disk lifetimes, masses, stellar accretion rates, and gaseous outer radii as a function of stellar mass and age are remarkably well reproduced by our simple model that includes only ISM accretion. We estimate that 20%−70% of disks may be mostly composed of material accreted in the most recent half of their lifetime, suggesting that disk properties are not a direct test of isolated evolution models. Our calculations indicate that BHL accretion can also supply sufficient energy to drive turbulence in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks with viscous αSS ∼ 10−5 to 10−1, although we emphasize that angular momentum transport and particularly accretion onto the star may still be driven by internal processes. Our simple approach can be easily applied to semianalytic models. Our results represent a compelling case for regulation of planet formation by large-scale turbulence, with broad consequences for planet formation theory. This possibility urgently motivates deep observational surveys to confirm or refute our findings.","PeriodicalId":501814,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084909","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}
