Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) I.: High precision stellar chemical abundance for 17 planet-hosting stars and the condensation temperature trend

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Qinghui Sun, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Tianjun Gan, Chenyang Ji, Zitao Lin | Summary: The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic data for 17 […]

GA-NIFS: A galaxy-wide outflow in a Compton-thick mini-BAL quasar at z = 3.5 probed in emission and absorption

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Michele Perna, Santiago Arribas, Xihan Ji, Cosimo Marconcini, Isabella Lamperti | Summary: Studying the distribution and properties of ionised gas in outflows driven by AGN is crucial for understanding the feedback mechanisms at play in extragalactic environments. In this study, we explore the connection between ionised outflows […]
