Direct observations of X-rays produced by upward positive lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Thomas Chaumont

X-rays have been observed in natural downward cloud-to-ground lightning for over 20 years and in rocket-triggered lightning for slightly less. In both cases, this energetic radiation has been detected during the stepped and dart leader phases of downward n ...

The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas

Michaela Hirschmann

We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 1011-12 M circle dot and SMBH masses 108.9-9.7 M circle dot at z = 0, featuring various majo ...

Probing the faint-end luminosity function of Lyman-alpha emitters at 3 < z < 7 behind 17 MUSE lensing clusters

Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Johan Richard

Context. This paper presents a study of the galaxy Lyman-alpha luminosity function (LF) using a large sample of 17 lensing clusters observed by the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The magnification resulting ...

A Microlensing Accretion Disk Size Measurement in the Lensed Quasar WFI 2026-4536

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Vivien François Bonvin

We use 13 seasons of R-band photometry from the 1.2 m Leonard Euler Swiss Telescope at La Silla to examine microlensing variability in the quadruply imaged lensed quasar WFI 2026-4536. The lightcurves exhibit similar to 0.2 mag of uncorrelated variability ...

High intensity x-ray interaction with a model bio-molecule system: double-core-hole states and fragmentation of formamide

Yiming Li, Christoph Bostedt

Formamide, a simple model bio-molecule (HCONH2), is irradiated with high intensity, ultrashort pulses from an x-ray free electron laser. Ionic fragments resulting from photoionization and subsequent decay processes are recorded, as well as the electronic s ...

Homogeneity in the early chemical evolution of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Carmela Lardo, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

We present the high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of two new extremely metal-poor star (EMPS) candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans. These targets were preselected from medium-resolution spectra centered around the CaII triplet in the near- ...

Probing Molecular Chirality by Orbital-Angular-Momentum-Carrying X-ray Pulses

A twisted X-ray beam with orbital angular momentum is employed in a theoretical study to probe molecular chirality. A nonlocal response description of the matter-field coupling is adopted to account for the field short wavelength and the structured spatial ...

Probing alloy formation using different excitonic species: The particular case of InGaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Raphaël Butté, Gordon Jens Callsen

Since the 1960s, alloys are grouped into two classes, featuring bound states in the bandgap (I - GaP:N, ZnTe:O, etc.) or additional, non-discrete, band states (II - SiGe, GaAsP, InGaAs, etc.). Therefore, one can observe either a rich and informative zoo of ...

Constant light element abundances suggest that the extended P1 in NGC 2808 is not a consequence of CNO-cycle nucleosynthesis

Carmela Lardo

Recent photometric results have identified a new population among globular cluster stars. This population, referred to as the 'extended P1', has been suggested to be the manifestation of a new abundance pattern where the initial mass fraction of He changes ...

Tracing the formation of the Milky Way through ultra metal-poor stars

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and photometric data, published radial velocities and MESA models to infer distances, orbits, surface gravities, and effective temperatures for all ultra metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < -4.0 dex) available in the literature. Assuming ...
