The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interstellar-dust extinction law is essential for interpreting observations. In this work, we investigate the ultraviolet (UV)–mid-infrared (IR) extinction law of the Taurus molecular cloud and its possible variations. We select 504,988 dwarf stars (4200

HST NIC3 Photometry of Metal-Rich Globular Clusters Palomar 6, Liller 1, and 47 Tuc (NGC 104) [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 We present HST NIC3 photometry of metal-rich globular clusters Palomar 6, Liller 1 and 47 Tuc (NGC 104). We discuss the interstellar reddening law for the HST NICMOS F110W/F160W photometric system which depends on the temperature of the source.

Decomposition of the central structure of NGC 2273 in the NIR: A case study
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 10, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 is a prime target to explore how active nuclei can be fed. It has a star‐forming innermost nuclear ring with a radius of 0.33kpc from where material may be funneled to the supermassive black hole in its center. In this article, we discuss high‐resolution adaptive optics aided JHKs images of NGC 2273 taken with the

Multiwavelength astrophysics of the blazar OJ 287 and the project MOMO
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023 Abstract We are carrying out the densest and longest multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring project of OJ 287 ever done. The project MOMO (Multiwavelength Observations and Modeling of OJ 287) covers wavelengths from the radio to the high‐energy regime. A few selected observations are simultaneous with those of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

Presumed Detection of C5 Molecule in the Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The paper suggests the presence of the carbon chain C _5 molecule in translucent, interstellar H i clouds. This species, the only five atom interstellar molecule, observable in dark, translucent clouds, seems to be observable in reasonably dense clouds ...

Chemical abundances in the dwarf galaxy NGC 4163 based on the nebular and auroral emission lines
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 9-10, November-December 2022., 2022 Abstract We constructed an oxygen abundance map and N/O ratio map of the unusually low excitation dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 4163 based on publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. We detected auroral emission line [O II]λλ$$ \lambda \lambda $$7320,7330 which allows us to measure chemical abundance by direct Te$$ {\mathrm{T}}_e ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Precise interstellar dust extinction laws are important to infer the intrinsic properties of reddened objects and correctly interpret observations. In this work, we attempt to measure the optical–infrared extinction laws of the Large and Small Magellanic

An investigation of open cluster Melotte 72 using Gaia DR2
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 342, Issue 4, Page 613-624, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The estimation of the main parameters of star clusters is significant in astrophysical studies. The most important aspect of using the Gaia DR2 survey lies in the positions, parallax, and proper motions of cluster stars with homogeneous photometry that make the membership probability determine with high accuracy.

1I/‘Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an exo‐Pluto Surface: I. Size and Compositional Constraints
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. We perform calculations of the non‐gravitational acceleration that would be experienced by bodies composed of a range of different ices and demonstrate that a body composed of N2 ice would satisfy the available constraints on the non‐gravitational acceleration, size ...
