Star formation towards the Galactic HII region RCW120

M. Figueira, A. Zavagno, L. Deharveng +16

The expansion of HII regions can trigger the formation of stars. An overdensity of young stellar objects (YSOs) is observed at the edges of HII regions but the mechanisms that give…

In and out star formation in z~1.5 quiescent galaxies from rest-frame UV spectroscopy and the far-infrared

Raphael Gobat, Emanuele Daddi, Veronica Strazzullo +18

We present a sample of 34 spectroscopically confirmed BzK-selected ~1e11 Msun quiescent galaxies (pBzK) in the COSMOS field. The targets were initially observed with VIMOS on the V…

Dark jets in the soft X-ray state of black hole binaries?

S. Drappeau, J. Malzac, M. Coriat +10

X-ray binary observations led to the interpretation that powerful compact jets, produced in the hard state, are quenched when the source transitions to its soft state. The aim of t…

Dealing with missing data in the MICROSCOPE space mission: An adaptation of inpainting to handle colored-noise data

Sandrine Pires, Joel Bergé, Quentin Baghi +2

The MICROSCOPE space mission, launched on April 25, 2016, aims to test the weak equivalence principle (WEP) with a 10^-15 precision. To reach this performance requires an accurate…

Origin of CH+ in diffuse molecular clouds warm H2 and ion-neutral drift

Valeska Valdivia, Benjamin Godard, Patrick Hennebelle +3

This paper assesses the roles of the presence of warm H2, and the increased formation rate due to the ion-neutral drift. We performed ideal MHD simulations that include the heating…

A Deconvolution Technique to Correct Deep Images of Galaxies from Instrumental Scattered Light

Emin Karabal, Pierre-Alain Duc, Harald Kuntschner +3

Deep imaging of the diffuse light emitted by the stellar fine structures and outer halos around galaxies is now often used to probe their past mass assembly. Because the extended h…
