Most Super-Earths Have Less Than 3% Water

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Super-Earths are highly irradiated, small planets with bulk densities approximately consistent with Earth. We construct combined interior atmosphere models of super-Earths that trace the partitioning of water throughout a planet, including an iron-rich ...

Global and Local Infall in the ASHES Sample (GLASHES). I. Pilot Study in G337.541

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent high-angular-resolution observations indicate the need for core growth to form high-mass stars. To understand the gas dynamics at the core scale in the very early evolutionary stages before being severely affected by feedback, we have conducted ...

A Deficit of Massive White Dwarfs in Gaia Astrometric Binaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The third data release of Gaia introduced a large catalog of astrometric binaries, out of which about 3200 are likely main-sequence stars with a white dwarf (WD) companion.

Dynamics of Binary Planets within Star Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We develop analytical tools and perform three-body simulations to investigate the orbital evolution and dynamical stability of binary planets within star clusters.

An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Hidden behind Thick Obscuration

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent models suggest approximately half of all accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs; M _BH ≳ 10 ^5 M _⊙ ) are expected to undergo intense growth phases behind Compton-thick ( N _H > 1.5 × 10 ^24 cm ^−2 ) veils of obscuring gas.

Convective Magnetic Flux Emergence Simulations from the Deep Solar Interior to the Photosphere: Comprehensive Study of Flux Tube Twist

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The emergence of magnetic flux from the deep convection zone plays an important role in solar magnetism, such as the generation of active regions and triggering of various eruptive phenomena, including jets, flares, and coronal mass ejections.

Quiescent Solar Wind Regions in the Near-Sun Environment: Properties and Radial Evolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Regions of magnetic fields with near-radial, Parker-spiral-like geometry known as quiescent regions have been observed in Parker Solar Probe data. These regions have very low δ B /〈∣ B ∣〉 compared to nonquiescent solar wind at the same heliocentric ...

Determining the Magnetic Field in the Galactic Plane from New Arecibo Pulsar Faraday Rotation Measurements

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We develop a new method for studying the Galactic magnetic field along the spiral arms using pulsar Faraday rotation measures (RMs). Our new technique accounts for the dot-product nature of Faraday rotation and also splits the associated path integral ...

Radiative Pressure on Fractal Dust Grains in Oxygen-rich AGB Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
There is still considerable debate on the exact composition of grains formed in the outflows of O-rich, asymptotic giant branch stars. Estimates of the expected condensation distances based on radiative transfer calculations show that iron-free silicates
