Statistically, the most stable isomer of a given chemical formula is the most abundant. This occurrence is verified up to sim 90 of the detected species leading to the so-called minimum energy principle (MEP). Our main objective is to increase the list of the 14 bis-nitrogen species already detected. We focus on ten C$_ x $H$_ y $N$_ z $ isomer families with x=(1,2,3), y=(0,2,4,6,8), z=2. To this end, we look for a reliable and economic way to provide energy scales. We employed standard quantum chemistry methods to determine the relative position of each isomer on the energy scales of each family. We systematically applied density functional theory (DFT) treatments using basis sets of increasing size and quality (6-311++G** and cc-pVQZ). When reasonably feasible, we then performed high-level coupled cluster calculations (CCSD) using the same basis sets to refine relative energies. All 14 bis-nitrogen species already identified in the ISM indeed satisfy the MEP. We determine the relative thermodynamic stability of the isomers with a C$_ x $H$_ y $N$_ $ formula of each of the ten sets (94 compounds altogether), and hightlight those that are potentially detectable. By increasing the number of carbon atoms, we find 15 compounds that are by far the most stable candidates. We confirm that, within the limits of thermodynamics, MEP is an efficient and easily applicable tool for identifying the isomers in a given series that have a greater probability of being detected. Computationally, the combination “B3LYP/cc-pVQZ” provides a suitable compromise for determining energy differences and dipole moments. Clearly, the isomers containing the NCN sequence should be prioritized over those with CNN in future observation campaigns.","PeriodicalId":8585,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141808982","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}

Yet merging BHs reach higher masses ($ than BHs in HMXBs ($ and typically exhibit lower spins BH 0.25$ with a larger values tail) than what is often claimed for BHs in HMXBs BH 0.9$). This could suggest that these two classes of systems belong to different populations, but here we show that this may not necessarily be the case. The difference in masses is easily explained as the known HMXB-BHs are in galaxies with relatively high metallicity, so their progenitor stars are subject to strong mass loss from winds, leading to relatively low-mass BH at core collapse. Conversely, LVK is also able to detect BHs from low-metallicity galaxies that are known to naturally produce more massive stellar-origin BHs. However, the difference in spin is more difficult to explain. Models with efficient angular momentum transport in stellar interiors produce slowly spinning progenitors for both LVK and HMXB BHs. Known HMXBs have orbital periods that are too long for efficient tidal spin-up and are also unlikely to have undergone significant accretion spin-up. Instead, we show that the derived value of the BH spin depends strongly on how the HMXB accretion disc emission is modelled. We argue that since Cyg X-1 is never observed to be in a soft spectral state, the appropriate spectral models must take into account the Comptonisation of the disc photosphere. We show that such models are consistent with low spin values, namely: $a_ BH This was recently confirmed by other teams for both Cyg X-1 and LMC X-1 and here we show this is also the case for M33 X-7. We conclude that all known HMXB BHs can exhibit a low spin in accordance with the results of stellar evolution models. Hence, the observations presented in this work are consistent with the scenario where LVK BHs and HMXB BHs belong to the same population.","PeriodicalId":8585,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141809281","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 aim to probe its disc-corona system thanks to the first simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation obtained October 1--2, 2022. We carried out an X-ray broadband spectral analysis to determine the dominant process(es) at work as well as a spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis to determine the disc-corona properties. The simultaneous broadband X-ray spectrum of ESO,141-G55 is characterised by the presence of a prominent smooth soft X-ray excess, a broad Fe,Kalpha emission line, and a significant Compton hump. The high-resolution reflection grating spectrometer spectra confirmed the lack of intrinsic warm-absorbing gas along our line of sight in the AGN rest frame, verifying that it is still in a bare state. However, soft X-ray emission lines were observed, indicating substantial warm gas out of our line of sight. The intermediate inclination of the disc-corona system (sim circ $) may offer us a favourable configuration to observe ultra-fast outflows from the disc, but none were found in this 2022 observation, contrary to a previous 2007 XMM-Newton one. We ruled out relativistic reflection alone on a standard disc based on the X-ray broadband analysis, while a combination of soft and hard Comptonisation by a warm and hot corona ( relagn ) plus relativistic reflection ( reflkerrd ) reproduces the ESO,141-G55 SED quite well. The hot corona temperature is very hot, sim 140,keV, and much higher than about 80 of AGNs, whereas the warm corona temperature, sim 0.3,keV, is similar to the values found in other sub-Eddington AGNs. ESO,141-G55 is accreting at a moderate Eddington accretion rate (sim 10--20). Our analysis points to a significant contribution of an optically thick warm corona to both the soft X-ray and UV emission in ESO,141-G55, adding to the growing evidence that the accretion of AGNs (even at a moderate accretion rate) appears to deviate from standard disc theory.","PeriodicalId":8585,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"35 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810085","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}

Although astrochemical models assume a sticking coefficient of 1, recent laboratory experiments on H2O and CO2 have revealed significantly lower values when measured on small grain analogs. As the effect of grain size on molecular adsorption has been largely ignored to date, further experiments are needed to determine the accretion rates of species known to freeze out on dust grains. Our aim is to determine the sticking coefficients of CO and N2 on sub-micrometric silicate and carbon grains. By quantifying realistic sticking coefficients on these dust grain analogs, we can improve the accuracy of astrochemists' predictions of molecular abundances as affected by gas-grain interactions. The molecules of interest were added to various substrates at 10 K in an ultra-high vacuum. The amount of adsorbate that stuck to the substrate was quantified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. These quantities were compared to a reference with a sticking coefficient of 1, allowing the deduction of the sticking coefficient for each substrate. The average sticking coefficients of CO and N2 on grain analogs are 0.17 for CO and 0.14 for N2 on olivine powder, and 0.05 for CO and 0.07 on N2 on soot, instead of the presumed 1. This is in line with the low values previously reported for H2O and CO2 These laboratory results indicate that CO and N2 in addition to H2O and CO2 also exhibit a low sticking coefficient on dust grain analogs. It is thus necessary to reconsider the interactions between gaseous species and dust particles as a low-efficiency process. This reduction in accretion and reaction rates has important implications for how we understand astrochemistry.","PeriodicalId":8585,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"68 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141806730","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}

It has been widely explored by chemistry-transport models, but some characteristics are still poorly interpreted. This study is devoted to developing an open-access chemistry-transport model spanning both the middle and lower atmospheres of Venus. It provides a scheme for the structure of the chemistry, especially for the sulfur and oxygen, and investigates the influence of the cloud diffusivity and the SO$_ $ dissolution that are adopted in the clouds. The developed model is based on the VULCAN framework and was updated with the state-of-the-art Venusian atmospheric chemistry. It includes vertical eddy diffusion retrieved recently with the Venus Express observations, and it resolves radiative transfer containing gas absorption and scattering, Mie scattering of the cloud droplets, and absorption of the unknown UV absorber. The obtained abundance profiles of SO, SO$_ $, CO, COS, O, O$_ $, O$_ $, HCl, and NO are in overall agreement with the observations. The results show that the increase in cloud diffusivity has slight effects on the chemical structure. The SO$_ $ mainly dissolves in 50-90 km and evaporates below the clouds. The rapid dissolution-release cycle is responsible for the large upward flux of SO$_ $ at 58 km. At around 70 km, SO has a significant peak that is larger than that of previous studies by an order of magnitude, and S and SO$_ $ also show slight increases. They are attributed to the buffering effects of liquid SO$_ $ in the clouds. O$_ $ is significantly eliminated by SO in this layer. We emphasize the superior regulation of the sulfur cycle on O$_ $ at 70 km and its potential contributions to the long-standing problem of the overestimated O$_ $ abundance.","PeriodicalId":8585,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"22 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141808783","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}

A flat Balmer decrement ($L_ H alpha $/$L_ H beta 1.58$) suggests that the lines are collisionally excited rather than being produced via photoionisation, in contrast to typical active galactic nuclei. A second distinctive feature, seen for the first time in TDE spectra, is a sharp, narrow emission peak at a rest wavelength of sim 6353 This feature is clearly visible up to 10,d post-peak; we attribute it to clumpy material preceding the bulk outflow, which manifests as a high-velocity component of Halpha ($-9,584 $). Its third distinctive feature is the rapid cooling during the first sim 20 days after peak, reflected as a break in the temperature evolution. Combining these findings, we propose a scenario for AT 2023clx involving the disruption of a very low-mass star ($ with an outflow launched in our line of sight and with disruption properties that led to efficient circularisation and prompt accretion disc formation, observed through a low-density photosphere.","PeriodicalId":8585,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"41 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807079","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}
