Models of Millimeter and Radio Emission from Interacting Supernovae. This work utilizes established models of synchrotron-powered light curves for core-collapse supernovae in dense circumstellar environments, namely, type IIn and Ibn, to demonstrate the potential for detecting millimeter emission from these events. The progenitor types of these supernovae are still an open question, but using the synchrotron light curves as probes for the circumstellar environments could shed light on the mass-loss histories of the progenitors and discern between different theories. Observations in millimeter bands are particularly fruitful, as they probe regions at smaller radii and higher ambient densities, where centimeter emission tends to be self-absorbed. In our application of these light curves, we explore a diversity of progenitor types and mass-loss profiles to understand their effects on the light-curve shapes. Additionally, we fit model parameters to the 8 GHz light curve of type IIn supernova 2006jd and then create millimeter light curves using these parameters to show the possibility of detecting an early millimeter peak from such an event. We predict that next generation millimeter surveys will possess the capability to detect nearby and extreme events. However, there is a pressing need for millimeter follow-up of optically discovered interacting supernovae to more completely sample the true population.

Search for Periodicities in High Energy AGNs with a Time Domain Approach. This paper investigates a new methodology to search for periods in light curves of high-energy gamma-ray sources such as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). High-energy light curves have significant stochastic components, making period detection somewhat challenging. In our model, periodic terms, drifts of the light curves, and random walk with a correlation between flux points due to colored noise are taken into account independently. The parameters of the model are obtained directly from a Markov Chain Monte Carlo minimization. The time periods found are compared to the output of the publicly available Agatha program. The search method is applied to high-energy periodic AGN candidates from the Fermi-LAT catalog. The significance of periodic models over pure noise models is discussed. Finally, the variability of the period and amplitude of oscillating terms is studied on the most significant candidates.

Turbulence in Milky Way Star-forming Regions Traced by Young Stars and Gas. The interstellar medium (ISM) is turbulent over vast scales and in various phases. In this paper, we study turbulence with different tracers in four nearby star-forming regions: Orion, Ophiuchus, Perseus, and Taurus. We combine the APOGEE-2 and Gaia surveys to obtain the full six-dimensional measurements of positions and velocities of young stars in these regions. The velocity structure functions (VSFs) of the stars show a universal scaling of turbulence. We also obtain Hα gas kinematics in these four regions from the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper. The VSFs of the Hα are more diverse compared to those of stars. In regions with recent supernova activities, they show characteristics of local energy injections and higher amplitudes compared to the VSFs of stars and of CO from the literature. Such difference in amplitude of the VSFs can be explained by the different energy and momentum transport from supernovae into different phases of the ISM, thus resulting in higher levels of turbulence in the warm ionized phase traced by Hα. In regions without recent supernova activities, the VSFs of young stars, Hα, and CO are generally consistent, indicating well-coupled turbulence between different phases. Within individual regions, the brighter parts of the Hα gas tend to have a higher level of turbulence than the low-emission parts. Our findings support a complex picture of the Milky Way ISM, where turbulence can be driven at different scales and inject energy unevenly into different phases.

The Mysterious Affair of the H<SUB>2</SUB> in AU Mic. Molecular hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the galaxy and plays important roles in planets, their circumstellar environments, and many of their host stars. We have confirmed the presence of molecular hydrogen in the AU Mic system using high-resolution FUV spectra from HST-STIS during both quiescence and a flare. AU Mic is a ~23 Myr M dwarf that hosts a debris disk and at least two planets. We estimate the temperature of the gas at 1000-2000 K, consistent with previous detections. Based on the radial velocities and widths of the H2 line profiles and the response of the H2 lines to a stellar flare, the H2 line emission is likely produced in the star, rather than in the disk or the planet. However, the temperature of this gas is significantly below the temperature of the photosphere (~3650 K) and the predicted temperature of its starspots (≳2650 K). We discuss the possibility of colder starspots or a cold layer in the photosphere of a pre-main-sequence M dwarf.

Characteristics of Effective Dark Matter in Nonlocal Gravity. Nonlocal gravity (NLG) is a classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein's theory of gravitation that has been constructed in close analogy with the nonlocal electrodynamics of media. According to NLG, what appears as dark matter in astrophysics and cosmology is in reality the nonlocal aspect of the universal gravitational interaction. We focus here on two main features of the effective dark matter in NLG, namely, (a) the density of effective dark matter in NLG is always finite and therefore cusp-free, and (b) there is less effective dark matter in dwarf galaxies than is generally assumed in the standard particle dark matter paradigm. The corresponding astrophysical implications of NLG in connection with three ultra-diffuse galaxies AGC 114905, 242019, and 219533 are discussed.

The Role of Reconnection in the Onset of Solar Eruptions. Solar eruptive events such as coronal mass ejections and eruptive flares are frequently associated with the emergence of magnetic flux from the convection zone into the corona. We use three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations to study the interaction of coronal magnetic fields with emerging flux and determine the conditions that lead to eruptive activity. A simple parameter study is performed, varying the relative angle between emerging magnetic flux and a preexisting coronal dipole field. We find that in all cases the emergence results in a sheared magnetic arcade that transitions to a twisted coronal flux rope via low-lying magnetic reconnection. This structure, however, is constrained by its own outer field and so is noneruptive in the absence of reconnection with the overlying coronal field. The amount of this overlying reconnection is determined by the relative angle between the emerged and preexisting fields. The reconnection between emerging and preexisting fields is necessary to generate sufficient expansion of the emerging structure so that flare-like reconnection below the coronal flux rope becomes strong enough to trigger its release. Our results imply that the relative angle is the key parameter in determining whether the resultant active regions exhibit eruptive behavior and is thus a potentially useful candidate for predicting eruptions in newly emerging active regions. More generally, our results demonstrate that the detailed interaction between the convection zone/photosphere and the corona must be calculated self-consistently in order to model solar eruptions accurately.

The Electric Field outward of Saturn's Main Rings. Cassini data are consistent with a global electric field in Saturn's magnetosphere that points approximately antisunward. The inner radial extent of this field was initially established using Saturn orbit insertion data but measurements of ultrarelativistic electrons from that pass cast some doubt on whether the electric field reaches all the way to the A ring. It was not until the so-called ring-grazing and proximal orbits near the end of the mission in 2017 that relevant data were again obtained on magnetic field lines that connect to the region just outward of the main rings. Here we report on the energetic charged particle data during those orbits, showing that electron observations at a wide range of energies are consistent with an electric field that influences charged particle drift paths near the outer edge of the A ring. We include a very detailed analysis of Cassini's ultrarelativistic electron measurements (channel E7 in the text) and argue they provide no information about the electric field. This result further strengthens the case of several studies that have used the presence of the electric field to explain signatures of acceleration in the data.

Neutrino Pair Annihilation above Black Hole Accretion Disks in Modified Gravity. Using idealized models of the accretion disk, we investigate the effects induced by the modified theories of gravity on the annihilation of the neutrino pair annihilation into electron-positron pairs ( $\nu \bar{\nu }\to {e}^{-}{e}^{+}$ ), occurring near the rotational axis. For the accretion disk, we have considered the models with temperature T = constant and T ∝ r -1. In both cases, we find that the modified theories of gravity lead to an enhancement, up to more than 1 order of magnitude with respect to general relativity, of the neutrino pair annihilation.

Effect of the Modified Gravity on the Large-scale Structure Formation. We investigate the formation of the large-scale structures in the present accelerated era in the f(R) gravity background. This is done by considering the linear growth of matter perturbations at low redshift z &lt; 1. The effect of f(R) alters the behavior of the matter density perturbations from the matter-dominated universe to the late-time accelerated universe, which is encoded in the Newtonian gravitational constant as G → G eff. The modified gravitational constant (G eff) depends on the form of f(R). The late-time accelerated expansion affects the formation of large-scale structures by slowing down the growth of matter density. On the other hand, f(R) increases the growth rate of the matter density perturbations. We have found that the source term in the f(R) background, G effΩ m , overcomes the accelerated expansion and the effect of accelerated expansion suppresses the formation of the large-scale structures in the asymptotic future.

A Tilt in the Dark Matter Halo of the Galaxy. Recent observations of the stellar halo have uncovered the debris of an ancient merger, Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE), estimated to have occurred ≳8 Gyr ago. Follow-up studies have associated GSE with a large-scale tilt in the stellar halo that links two well-known stellar overdensities in diagonally opposing octants of the Galaxy (the Hercules-Aquila Cloud and Virgo Overdensity; HAC and VOD). In this paper, we study the plausibility of such unmixed merger debris persisting over several gigayears in the Galactic halo. We employ the simulated stellar halo from Naidu et al., which reproduces several key properties of the merger remnant, including the large-scale tilt. By integrating the orbits of these simulated stellar halo particles, we show that adoption of a spherical halo potential results in rapid phase mixing of the asymmetry. However, adopting a tilted halo potential preserves the initial asymmetry in the stellar halo for many gigayears. The asymmetry is preserved even when a realistic growing disk is added to the potential. These results suggest that HAC and VOD are long-lived structures that are associated with GSE and that the dark matter halo of the Galaxy is tilted with respect to the disk and aligned in the direction of HAC-VOD. Such halo-disk misalignment is common in modern cosmological simulations. Lastly, we study the relationship between the local and global stellar halo in light of a tilted global halo comprised of highly radial orbits. We find that the local halo offers a dynamically biased view of the global halo due to its displacement from the Galactic center.

Observing Supernova Neutrino Light Curves with Super-Kamiokande. III. Extraction of Mass and Radius of Neutron Stars from Synthetic Data. Neutrinos are guaranteed to be observable from the next Galactic supernova (SN). Optical light and gravitational waves are also observable, but may be difficult to observe if the location of the SN in the Galaxy or the details of the explosion are unsuitable. The key to observing the next SN is to first use neutrinos to understand various physical quantities and then link them to other signals. In this paper, we present Monte Carlo sampling calculations of neutrino events from Galactic SN explosions observed with Super-Kamiokande. The analytical solution of neutrino emission, which represents the long-term evolution of the neutrino light curve from SNe, is used as a theoretical template. It gives the event rate and event spectrum through inverse beta decay interactions with explicit model parameter dependence. Parameter estimation is performed on these simulated sample data by fitting least squares using the analytical solution. The results show that the mass, radius, and total energy of a remnant neutron star produced by an SN can be determined with an accuracy of ~ 0.1 M ☉, ~1 km, and ~ 1051 erg, respectively, for a Galactic SN at 8 kpc.

Doppler-velocity Drifts Detected in a Solar Prominence. We analyzed multiline observations of a quiescent prominence from the slit spectrograph located at the Ondřejov Observatory. Dopplergrams and integrated intensity maps of the whole prominence were obtained from observations in six spectral lines: Ca II H, Hϵ, Hβ, He I D3, Hα, and Ca II IR. By combining integrated intensity maps with non-LTE radiative-transfer modeling, we carefully identified areas in an optically thin regime. The comparison of the Doppler-velocity maps and scatterplots from different lines shows the existence of differences in the velocity of ions and neutrals called velocity drift. The drift is of a local nature, present mostly at prominence edges in the area with a large velocity gradient, as can be tentatively expected based on multifluid MHD models. We could not explore the time evolution of the drift, since our data set consists of a single scan only. Our paper brings another contribution to a rather controversial problem of the detection of multifluid effects in solar prominences.

XMM-Newton and NuSTAR Observations of the Compact Millisecond Pulsar Binary PSR J1653-0158. We have presented the first joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR analysis of the millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary PSR J1653-0158. The 75 minute orbital period inferred from optical and gamma-ray observations together with the 1.97 ms pulsation in the gamma-rays indicate that this system is the most compact Black Widow MSP system known to date. The orbital period was not detected in the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR data, probably due to insufficient photon counts obtained in the observations. Fitting the joint X-ray spectrum of PSR J1653-0158 with a power law gives a photon index Γ = 1.71 ± 0.09. The X-ray luminosity of the source in the (0.2-40) keV band is deduced to be 1.18 × 1031 erg s-1, for an adopted distance of 0.84 kpc. We have shown that the broadband X-ray spectrum can be explained by synchrotron radiation from electrons accelerated in the intrabinary shock, and the gamma-rays detected in the Fermi data are curvature radiations from electrons and positrons in the pulsar magnetosphere. Our kinematic analysis of the Tidarren systems PSR J1653-0158 and PSR J1311-3430 indicates that the two Tidarren systems are likely to have originated in the Galactic disk.

Spectral Variability of the Born-again Ejecta in A 58. Born-again planetary nebulae (PNs) allow investigating stellar evolution, dust production, and nebular shocks in human timescales. Here we present an analysis of multiepoch optical spectroscopic observations of the born-again PN A 58 around V605 Aql, which experienced a very late thermal pulse about a century ago. The H-deficient ejecta has experienced a considerable brightening in the time period considered, from 1996 to 2021, with notable changes also in many emission line ratios. Neither the reduction of the extinction caused by the dilution of the ejecta nor the increase of the ionizing photon flux from the central star seem capable to produce these spectral changes, which are instead attributed to shocks in the bipolar H-poor outflow, dissociating molecular material, and propagating through the outer nebula.

New Constraints on Cosmic Particle Populations at the Galactic Center Using X-Ray Observations of the Molecular Cloud Sagittarius B2. The Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) molecular cloud complex is an X-ray reflection nebula whose nonthermal X-ray emissions have continued to decrease since 2001 as it reprocesses one or more past energetic outbursts from the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the Galactic Center. The X-ray reflection model explains the observed time variability of Sgr B2 and provides a window into the luminous evolutionary history of our nearest supermassive black hole. In light of evidence of elevated cosmic particle populations in the Galactic Center, X-rays from Sgr B2 are also of interest as a probe of low-energy (sub-GeV) cosmic rays, which may be responsible for an increasing relative fraction of the nonthermal emission as the contribution from X-ray reflection decreases. Here, we present the most recent NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of Sgr B2, from 2018, and we emphasize the Kα fluorescence line of neutral Fe. These 2018 observations reveal small-scale variations within lower-density portions of the complex, including brightening features, yet still enable upper limits on X-rays from low-energy cosmic-ray interactions in Sgr B2. We present Fe Kα line fluxes from cloud regions of different densities, facilitating comparison with models of ambient low-energy cosmic-ray interactions throughout the cloud.

An X-Ray Study of Coronally Connected Active Eclipsing Binaries. We present a detailed X-ray analysis and imaging of stellar coronae of five coronally connected eclipsing binaries, namely, 44 Boo, DV Psc, ER Vul, XY UMa, and TX Cnc. Both components of these binaries are found to be active. The X-ray light curves of detached and semidetached type systems show eclipsed-like features, whereas no evidence for coronal eclipsing is shown by the contact type systems. The X-ray light curve of DV Psc shows the O'Connell-like effect where the first maximum is found to be brighter than that of the second. Results of the coronal imaging using three-dimensional deconvolution of X-ray light curves show the coronae of all these binaries are either in the contact or over-contact configuration, with the primary being 1.7-4 times X-ray brighter than its companion. In the current sample, a minimum of 30%-50% of total UV emission is found to originate from the photosphere and positively correlated with the X-ray emission. X-ray spectra of these systems are well explained by two-temperature plasma models. The temperature corresponding to cool and hot components of plasma are found to be in the ranges of 0.25-0.64 and 0.9-1.1 keV, respectively. For the majority of binaries in the sample, the phase-resolved X-ray spectral analysis shows the orbital modulation in X-ray luminosity and emission measure corresponding to the hot component. A total of seven flaring events are also detected in the four systems with the flare energy in the range of (1.95-27.0) × 1033 erg and loop length of the order of 109-11 cm.

An Old, Metal-rich Accreted Stellar Component in the Milky Way Stellar Disk. We study the possibility that the Milky Ways' cool stellar disk includes mergers with ancient stars. Galaxies are understood to form in a hierarchical manner, where smaller (proto-)galaxies merge into larger ones. Stars in galaxies, like the Milky Way, contain in their motions and elemental abundance tracers of past events and can be used to disentangle merger remnants from stars that formed in the main galaxy. The merger history of the Milky Way is generally understood to be particularly easy to study in the stellar halo. The advent of the ESA astrometric satellite Gaia has enabled the detection of completely new structures in the halo such as the Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage. However, simulations also show that mergers may be important for the build-up of the cool stellar disks. Combining elemental abundances for ~100 giant branch stars from APOGEE DR17 and astrometric data from Gaia we use elemental abundance ratios to find a hitherto unknown, old stellar component in the cool stellar disk in the Milky Way. We further identify a small sample of RR Lyrae variables with disk kinematics that also show the same chemical signature as the accreted red giant stars in the disk. These stars allow us to date the stars in the accreted component. We find that they are exclusively old.

Implications of a Temperature-dependent Initial Mass Function. III. Mass Growth and Quiescence. The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is predicted to depend upon the temperature of gas in star-forming molecular clouds. The introduction of an additional parameter, T IMF, into photometric template fitting suggests most galaxies obey an IMF top heavier than the Galactic IMF. The implications of the revised fit on mass function, quiescence, and turnoff are discussed. At all redshifts, the highest-mass galaxies become quiescent first with the turnoff mass decreasing toward the present. The synchronous turnoff mass across galaxies suggests quiescence is driven by universal mechanisms rather than by stochastic or environmental processes.
