Gaia Data Release 2 Variable stars in the colour-absolute magnitude diagram

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Jean-Marie Petit, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The ESA Gaia mission provides a unique time-domain survey for more than 1.6 billion sources with G less than or similar to 21 mag. Aims. We showcase stellar variability in the Galactic colour-absolute magnitude diagram (CaMD). We focus on pulsatin ...

Euclid preparation V. Predicted yield of redshift 7 < z < 9 quasars from the wide survey

Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

We provide predictions of the yield of 7 < z < 9 quasars from the Euclid wide survey, updating the calculation presented in the Euclid Red Book in several ways. We account for revisions to the Euclid near-infrared filter wavelengths; we adopt steeper rates ...

A narrow pentaquark state, P-c(4312)(+), decaying to J/psi p, is discovered with a statistical significance of 7.3 sigma in a data sample of Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi pK(-) decays, which is an order of magnitude larger than that previously analyzed by the LHCb ...

Bayesian approach to SETI

Claudio Grimaldi

The search for technosignatures from hypothetical galactic civilizations is going through a new phase of intense activity. For the first time, a significant fraction of the vast search space is expected to be sampled in the foreseeable future, potentially ...

Molecular gas in two companion cluster galaxies at z=1.2

Gianluca Castignani, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

Context. Probing both star formation history and evolution of distant cluster galaxies is essential to evaluate the effect of dense environment on shaping the galaxy properties we observe today. Aims. We investigate the effect of cluster environment on the ...

Stellar chemo-kinematics of the Cetus dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

Context. The great majority of early-type dwarf galaxies, in the Local Group as well as in other galaxy groups, are found in the vicinity of much larger galaxies, making it hard to disentangle the role of internal versus external effects in driving their e ...

Accretion Disk Size Measurement and Time Delays in the Lensed Quasar WFI 2033-4723

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin

We present 13 seasons of R-band photometry of the quadruply lensed quasarWFI 2033-4723 from the 1.3m SMARTS telescope at CTIO and the 1.2m Euler Swiss Telescope at La Silla, in which we detect microlensing variability of similar to 0.2mag on a timescale of ...

H0LiCOW. VI. Testing the fidelity of lensed quasar host galaxy reconstruction

Frédéric Courbin, Adriano Agnello

The empirical correlation between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and its host galaxy properties is widely considered to be an evidence of their co-evolution. A powerful way to test the co-evolution scenario and learn about the feedback proces ...

First multi-wavelength campaign on the gamma-ray-loud active galaxy IC 310

Thomas Günther Bretz, Udo Bach

Context. The extragalactic very-high-energy gamma-ray sky is rich in blazars. These are jetted active galactic nuclei that are viewed at a small angle to the line-of-sight. Only a handful of objects viewed at a larger angle are so far known to emit above 1 ...
