3D Morphology of Open Clusters in the Solar Neighborhood with Gaia EDR 3. II. Hierarchical Star Formation Revealed by Spatial and Kinematic Substructures [PDF]
We identify members of 65 open clusters in the solar neighborhood using the machine-learning algorithm StarGO based on Gaia EDR3 data. After adding members of 20 clusters from previous studies we obtain 85 clusters, and study their morphology and ...

The Palomar Transient Factory Core-collapse Supernova Host-galaxy Sample. I. Host-galaxy Distribution Functions and Environment Dependence of Core-collapse Supernovae [PDF]
Several thousand core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of different flavors have been discovered so far. However, identifying their progenitors has remained an outstanding open question in astrophysics.

NGTS-10b: the shortest period hot Jupiter yet discovered [PDF]
We report the discovery of a new ultrashort period (USP) transiting hot Jupiter from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). NGTS-10b has a mass and radius of $2.162\, ^{+0.092}_{-0.107}$ MJ and $1.205\, ^{+0.117}_{-0.083}$ RJ and orbits its host ...

Stellar laboratories: new Ge V and Ge VI oscillator strengths and their validation in the hot white dwarf RE 0503–289 [PDF]
Context. State-of-the-art spectral analysis of hot stars by means of non-LTE model-atmosphere techniques has arrived at a high level of sophistication. The analysis of high-resolution and high-S/N spectra, however, is strongly restricted by the lack of ...

The virtual observatory service TheoSSA: Establishing a database of synthetic stellar flux standards - I. NLTE spectral analysis of the DA-type white dwarf G191−B2B [PDF]
Hydrogen-rich, DA-type white dwarfs are particularly suited as primary standard stars for flux calibration. State-of-the-art NLTE models consider opacities of species up to trans-iron elements and provide reliable synthetic stellar-atmosphere spectra to ...

BD–22°3467, a DAO-type star exciting the nebula Abell 35 [PDF]
Context. Spectral analyses of hot, compact stars with non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (NLTE) model-atmosphere techniques allow the precise determination of photospheric parameters such as the effective temperature (Teff), the surface gravity (log g)

Coronal Abundances in Orion Nebula Cluster Stars [PDF]
Following the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP) observation, we have studied the chemical composition of the hot plasma in a sample of 146 X-ray-bright pre-main-sequence stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC).

Linear Solar Models: a simple tool to investigate the properties of solar interior [PDF]
We describe a simple method to study the dependence of the solar properties on a generic (small) modification the physical inputs adopted in standard solar models calculations.

Helicity--vorticity turbulent pumping of magnetic fields in the solar dynamo [PDF]
The interaction of helical convective motions and differential rotation in the solar convection zone results in turbulent drift of a large-scale magnetic field. We discuss the pumping mechanism and its impact on the solar dynamo.
