We present a CO(3-2) study of four systems composed of six (ultra) luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs), located at 0.28 <z < 0.44, that straddle the transition region between regular star-forming galaxies and starbursts. These galaxies benefit from previous multiwavelength analysis allowing in depth exploration of an understudied population of U/LIRGs at a time when the universe is experiencing a rapid decline in star formation rate density. We detect CO(3-2) emission in four targets and these galaxies fall between the loci of regular star-forming galaxies and starbursts on the Kennicutt-Schmidtt relation. Compared to low luminosity LIRGs and high luminosity ULIRGs at similar redshifts, we find they all have similar molecular gas budgets with the difference in their star formation rates (SFR) driven by the star formation efficiency (SFE). This suggests that at these redshifts large molecular gas reservoirs must coincide with an increased SFE to transition a galaxy into the starburst regime. We studied the structure and kinematics and found our four detections are either interacting or have disturbed morphology which may be driving the SFE. One of the CO(3-2) non-detections has a strong continuum detection, and has been previously observed in H α, suggesting an unusual interstellar medium for a ULIRG. We conclude that our sample of transitioning U/LIRGs fill the gap between regular star-forming galaxies and starbursts, suggest a continuous change in SFE between these two populations and the increased SFE may be driven by morphology and differing stages of interaction. | 9 |

The trajectories of the groupings η Cha, ϵ Cha and Cha I, Cha II, constructed backward in time, have been studied. We concluded that the hypothesis about the joint formation of all four of these clusters from one molecular cloud cannot be completely excluded. However, 10–15 Myr ago, all these four clusters were located at approximately the same height above the plane of the Galaxy. Thus, the gas-dust clouds from which all these four clusters were formed were located on one broad front. It is possible that the appearance of the Cha I, Cha II, ϵ Cha and η Cha clusters may be associated with the impact on such a front of shock waves formed after supernova explosions in the Scorpius–Centaurus association. New estimates of the kinematic ages of the clusters Cha I and Cha II are obtained as 0.12 ± 0.19 and 0.05 ± 0.15, respectively. It is shown that the minimum size of the Cha I-north and Cha I-south clusters corresponded to the time of 0.55 ± 0.24 Myr and 0.04 ± 0.18 Myr ago, respectively, and approximately 1.5 Myr ago the distance between the trajectories of these two groupings was minimal. | 9 |
In our Galaxy, star formation occurs in a variety of environments, with a large fraction of stars formed in clusters hosting massive stars. OB stars have an important feedback on the evolution of protoplanetary disks around nearby young stars and likely on the process of planet formation occurring in them. The nearby massive association Cygnus OB2 is an outstanding laboratory to study this feedback. It is the closest massive association to our Sun, and hosts hundreds of massive stars and thousands of low mass members. In this paper, we analyze the spatial variation of the disk fraction in Cygnus OB2 and we study its correlation with the local values of Far and Extreme ultraviolet radiation fields and the local stellar surface density. We present definitive evidence that disks are more rapidly dissipated in the regions of the association characterized by intense local UV field and large stellar density. In particular, the FUV radiation dominates disks dissipation timescales in the proximity (i.e. within 0.5 pc) of the O stars. In the rest of the association, EUV photons potentially induce a significant mass loss from the irradiated disks across the entire association, but the efficiency of this process is reduced at increasing distances from the massive stars due to absorption by the intervening intracluster material. We find that disk dissipation due to close stellar encounters is negligible in Cygnus OB2, and likely to have affected 1% or fewer of the stellar population. Disk dissipation is instead dominated by photoevaporation. We also compare our results to what has been found in other young clusters with different massive populations, concluding that massive associations like Cygnus OB2 are potentially hostile to protoplanetary disks, but that the environments where disks can safely evolve in planetary systems are likely quite common in our Galaxy. | 9 |

We study the long-term thermal evolution of axisymmetric rotating neutron stars in full general relativity. To this aim, we develop NSCool 2D Rot, a major upgrade to the 1D neutron stars thermal evolution code NSCool by Page. As a first application of our new code, we address the standard cooling of isolated neutron stars with rotation frequencies up to the mass shedding limit. We investigate the effects of the equation of state (EOS) by considering different combinations of core and crust EOSs. The results indicate complex time-dependent evolution of temperature distribution throughout the whole volume of the star, and in particular, in the crust. We show that most of that complexity can be attributed to the formation of a heat blob in the crust and the latitude dependence of the heat diffusion timescale through the crust. | 9 |
Context. Elements heavier than Li are produced in the interiors of stars. However, for many elements the exact production sites and the timescales on which they are dispersed into the interstellar medium are unknown. Having a clear picture on the origins of the elements is important for our ability to trace and understand the formation and chemical evolution of the Milky Way and its stellar populations. <BR /> Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the origin and evolution of Sc, V, Mn, and Co for a homogeneous and statistically significant sample of stars probing the different populations of the Milky Way, in particular the thin and thick disks. <BR /> Methods: Using high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE, FEROS, SOFIN, FIES, UVES, and HARPS spectrographs, we determine Sc, V, Mn, and Co abundances for a large sample of F and G dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. The method is based on spectral synthesis and using one-dimensional, plane-parallel, local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) model stellar atmospheres calculated with the MARCS 2012 code. The non-LTE (NLTE) corrections from the literature were applied to Mn and Co. <BR /> Results: We find that the abundance trends derived for Sc (594 stars), V (466 stars), and Co (567 stars) are very similar to what has been observed for the α-elements in the thin and thick disks. On the contrary, Mn (569 stars) is generally underabundant relative to the Sun (i.e., [ Mn/Fe ] < 0) for [ Fe/H ] < 0. In addition, for Mn, when NLTE corrections are applied, the trend changes and is almost flat over the entire metallicity range of the stars in our sample (-2 ≲ [ Fe/H ] ≲ + 0.4). The [Sc/Fe]-[Fe/H] abundance trends show a small separation between the thin and thick disks, while for V and Co they completely overlap. For Mn there is a small difference in [Mn/Fe], but only when NLTE corrections are used. Comparisons with Ti as a reference element show flat trends for all the elements except for Mn that show well separated [Mn/Ti]-[Ti/H] trends for the thin and thick disks. <BR /> Conclusions: The elements Sc and V present trends compatible with production from type II supernovae (SNII) events. In addition, Sc clearly shows a metallicity dependence for [ Fe/H ] < -1. Instead, Mn is produced in SNII events for [ Fe/H ] ≲ -0.4 and then type Ia supernovae start to produce Mn. Finally, Co appears to be produced mainly in SNII with suggestion of enrichment from hypernovae at low metallicities. <P />This paper includes data gathered with the 6.5 m Magellan Telescopes located at the Las Campanas Observatory, Chile; the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma, Spain; the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) on Paranal, Chile (ESO Proposal ID 69.B-0277 and 72.B-0179); the ESO 1.5-m, 2.2-m. and 3.6-m telescopes on La Silla, Chile (ESO Proposal ID 65.L-0019, 67.B-0108, 76.B-0416, 82.B-0610); and data from UVES Paranal Observatory Project (ESO DDT Program ID 266.D-5655).Full versions of Tables 2 and 5 are only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/577/A9">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/577/A9</A>Appendices are available in electronic form at <A href="http://www.aanda.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201425327/olm">http://www.aanda.org</A> | 9 |

The innermost region of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992 has long been suspected to be the location of intense AGN-host galaxy interaction, but photon pile up in previous high-resolution observations hampered the study of the soft X-ray excess and the interaction near its nucleus. We present an X-ray imaging and spectroscopic analysis of the circumnuclear (1″-3″) region of NGC 2992 using the zeroth-order image of a 135 ks grating observation obtained with Chandra, which captured the nucleus in a historically low flux state. Extended soft X-ray emission is detected in the circumnuclear region with an observed luminosity of L <SUB>X</SUB> ~ 7 × 10<SUP>39</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>. The majority of the previous, puzzling detection of soft excess could be associated with the outflow, indicated by the morphological correspondences between the soft X-ray emission and figure-eight-shaped radio bubbles. An anomalous narrow emission line with a centroid energy of ~4.97 keV is found. If attributed to redshifted highly ionized iron emission (e.g., Fe XXV), the required outflow velocity is ~0.23 c. An alternative explanation is that this line emission could be produced by the nuclear spallation of iron. We also find extended, asymmetric Fe Kα emission along the galactic disk, which could originate from reflection by cold gas on ~200 pc scale. | 9 |

Please feel welcome to contact me via email ( linus . pithan {AT} esrf .fr ) in case these software tools could be interesting for you. Publications that I am aware of where the here presented tools have been used: S. Bommel, Sebastian,Unravelling nanoscale molecular processes in organic thin films, PhD Thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät, 2015, http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/17315 L.

The codes presented here have been tested under Linux and MacOS. UnitCellIndexerGUI A simple python3 tool that helps to find approximate unit cell parameters of organic thin films. All six parameters (a, b, c, alpha, beta, gamma) can be addjusted manually until the experimental data and the calculated reflection positions are matching. Please note: this tool is still under development and not yet in its final version. The current version should rather be regarded as an alpha version with many important features still missing. Known Issues hard-code image resolution and origin Image resolution and origin are hard-code in the script. Right now there are the follwing two lines in the script origin=np.array([0.301501,-0.0984982]) scale=np.array([0.00300172,0.00300353]) origin represents q coordinates of the low left corner in q_xy and q_z scale discribes the q per pixel the given values correspond to the example image but might need to be changed. selection of displayed hkl-triples To change the displayed hkl-triples the follwoing lines in the code have to be modified: #Put reflection markers for h in self.my_range (-1, 3, 1): for k in self.my_range (-2, 2, 1): for l in self.my_range(-3, 5, 1): self.putMarker (a1_r, a2_r, a3_r, h, k, l) UnitCellCalculator This is a JAVA code that helps wiht the determination of crystallographic unit-cells of molecular thin films. Based on GIXD diffraction data a set of hypothetical diffraction patterns is generated by varying the unit-cell parameters to find the best fit corresponding to the experimental findings. To sample the multidimensional reciprocal space uniformly it uses the latin hypercube sampling. How to run the code There is no graphical user interface as this code is intended to be used in combination with a batch queuing system. Here is a draft of how to run the code: Prepare a mask of the experimental data in q-space. (example in rawdata/example_data.png) Prepare a configuration file. (example in in/example_config.txt) Run the java program (e.g. java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M UnitCellCalculator in/example_config.txt >> out/example_output.txt) Have a look in the folder that has the output file (here out/example_output.txt) and the outpt folder (here example_data, generally the same name as the mask file). If caluclation was successfull a set of files should have been generated in this folder. The filename correspondes to the number of reflections matching the generated unit cell. Create histograms based on the calculated results. There are some tools here that can be used. run java Histographer example_data/ TOP3 36 35 34 where TOP3 is an name that can be freely choosen copy gnuplot script in to the output folder cp histo_template.gp example_data/ cd into output folder modify filename prefix in second line if needed run gnuplot gnuplot histo_template.gp enjoy the plots e.g. via eog *.png Know Issues In case you see Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 error message you should try use at least java 8. In case you have to deal with the two problems below don't forget to recompile the .java files after changing them. hard-code image resolution and origin in order to use the program other than the example data you may need to modify the following lines in the DataListToImage and Mask class that deal with the relation beween pixels in the image file and the q-space calibration: private int qParaMinPx = 0; private int qParaMaxPx = 1251; private int qPerpMinPx = 0; private int qPerpMaxPx = 501; private static double qParaMinValue = 1; private static double qParaMaxValue = 3.5; private static double qPerpMinValue = 0; private static double qPerpMaxValue = 1; private static double qPerpPerPx = 0.002; private static double qParaPerPx = 0.002; hard-code hkl-triples that are considered in the file hklList.java are several lines like add(new hkl( -1 , 0 , 5 )); that should only represent expected reflections, which are specific for the problem that you want to solve. | 9 |

We propose the use of entropy, measured from the spatial and flux distribution of pixels in the residual image, as a potential diagnostic and stopping metric for the CLEAN algorithm. Despite its broad success as the standard deconvolution approach in radio interferometry, finding the optimum stopping point for the iterative CLEAN algorithm is still a challenge. We show that the entropy of the residual image, measured during the final stages of CLEAN, can be computed without prior knowledge of the source structure or expected noise levels, and that finding the point of maximum entropy as a measure of randomness in the residual image serves as a robust stopping criterion. We also find that, when compared to the expected thermal noise in the image, the maximum entropy of the residuals is a useful diagnostic that can reveal the presence of data editing, calibration, or deconvolution issues that may limit the fidelity of the final CLEAN map. | 9 |

We describe a novel operator-splitting approach to numerical relativistic magnetohydrodynamics designed to expand its applicability to the domain of ultra-high magnetisation. In this approach, the electromagnetic field is split into the force-free component, governed by the equations of force-free degenerate electrodynamics (FFDE), and the perturbation component, governed by the perturbation equations derived from the full system of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD). The combined system of the FFDE and perturbation equations is integrated simultaneously, for which various numerical techniques developed for hyperbolic conservation laws can be used. At the end of every time-step of numerical integration, the force-free and the perturbation components of the electromagnetic field are recombined and the result is regarded as the initial value of the force-free component for the next time-step, whereas the initial value of the perturbation component is set to zero. To explore the potential of this approach, we build a 3rd-order WENO code, which was used to carry out 1D and 2D test simulations. Their results show that this operator-splitting approach allows us to bypass the stiffness of RMHD in the ultra-high-magnetisation regime where the perturbation component becomes very small.

Exoplanet CoRoT-1 b is intriguing because we predict it to be a transitional planet between hot Jupiters (equilibrium temperatures ~1500 K) and ultrahot Jupiters (equilibrium temperatures >2000 K). In 2012, observations of CoRoT-1 b included one primary transit and three secondary eclipses with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) combined with the G141 grism (1.1-1.7 μm) in stare mode. We aimed to further investigate CoRoT-1 b through its secondary eclipses, producing spectrophotometric light curves corrected for charge trapping, also known as the ramp effect in time-series observations with the WFC3. We found that, when correcting for the ramp effect and using the typically discarded first orbit, we are better capable of constraining and optimizing the emission and transmission spectra. We did a grid retrieval in this transitional temperature regime and found the spectra for CoRoT-1 b to be featureless and to agree with an inverted temperature-pressure (T-P) profile. We note, however, that the contribution function for the WFC3 indicates pressures probed near 10<SUP>-3</SUP> to 10<SUP>0</SUP> bar, which correspond to a nearly isothermal region in our T-P profile, thereby indicating that the inversion at high altitude is model-dependent. Despite no distinct features, the analysis done on CoRoT-1 b paves the way to high-precision results with stare mode spectroscopy. As a new generation of observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) approaches, CoRoT-1 b might be an interesting follow-up target because the time-series spectroscopic modes of JWST's NIRSpec, MIRI, and NIRCam instruments will be analogous to HST's stare mode. | 9 |

We investigate the occurrence rate of rapidly rotating (v{sin}i >10 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>), low-mass giant stars in the Apache Point Observatory Galaxy Evolution Experiment-Kepler (APOKASC) fields with asteroseismic mass and surface gravity measurements. Such stars are likely merger products and their frequency places interesting constraints on stellar population models. We also identify anomalous rotators, i.e., stars with 5 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> < v{sin}i < 10 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> that are rotating significantly faster than both angular momentum evolution predictions and the measured rates of similar stars. Our data set contains fewer rapid rotators than one would expect given measurements of the Galactic field star population, which likely indicates that asteroseismic detections are less common in rapidly rotating red giants. The number of low-mass moderate (5-10 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>) rotators in our sample gives a lower limit of 7% for the rate at which low-mass stars interact on the upper red giant branch because single stars in this mass range are expected to rotate slowly. Finally, we classify the likely origin of the rapid or anomalous rotation where possible. KIC 10293335 is identified as a merger product and KIC 6501237 is a possible binary system of two oscillating red giants. | 9 |

We study the evolution of dust in a cosmological volume using a hydrodynamical simulation in which the dust production is coupled with the MUPPI (MUlti Phase Particle Integrator) sub-resolution model of star formation and feedback. As for the latter, we keep as reference the model setup calibrated previously to match the general properties of Milky Way-like galaxies in zoom-in simulations. However, we suggest that an increase of the star formation efficiency with the local dust-to-gas ratio would better reproduce the observed evolution of the cosmic star formation density. Moreover, the paucity of quenched galaxies at low redshift demands a stronger role of active galactic nucleus feedback. We tune the parameters ruling direct dust production from evolved stars and accretion in the interstellar medium to get scaling relations involving dust, stellar mass and metallicity in good agreement with observations. In low-mass galaxies, the accretion process is inefficient. As a consequence, they remain poorer in silicate and small grains than higher mass ones. We reproduce reasonably well the few available data on the radial distribution of dust outside the galactic region, supporting the assumption that the dust and gas dynamics are well coupled at galactic scales. | 9 |

The bias function Γ<SUB>gm</SUB>(r<SUB>p</SUB>), where r<SUB>p</SUB> is the projected comoving separation, is evaluated using the analytical halo model from which the scale dependence of Γ<SUB>gm</SUB>(r<SUB>p</SUB>), and the origin of the non-linearity and stochasticity in halo occupation models can be inferred. Our observations unveil the physical reason for the non-linearity and stochasticity, further explored using hydrodynamical simulations, with the stochasticity mostly originating from the non-Poissonian behaviour of satellite galaxies in the dark matter haloes and their spatial distribution, which does not follow the spatial distribution of dark matter in the halo. The observed non-linearity is mostly due to the presence of the central galaxies, as was noted from previous theoretical work on the same topic. We also see that overall, more massive galaxies reveal a stronger scale dependence, and out to a larger radius. Our results show that a wealth of information about galaxy bias is hidden in halo occupation models. These models should therefore be used to determine the influence of galaxy bias in cosmological studies. | 9 |
