Multiple nitrogen reservoirs in a protoplanetary disk at the epoch of comet and giant planet formation

Pierre Hily-Blant, Victor Magalhaes de Souza, Joel Kastner +1

The isotopic ratio of nitrogen measured in primitive Solar System bodies shows a broad range of values, the origin of which remains unknown. One key question is whether these isoto…

Molecules in the CepE-mm jet: evidence for shock-driven photochemistry?

J. Ospina-Zamudio, B. Lefloch, C. Favre +6

The chemical composition of protostellar jets and its origin are still badly understood. More observational constraints are needed to make progress. With that objective, we have ca…

Are Milky-Way dwarf-spheroidal galaxies dark-matter free?

F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang, J. L. Wang +4

We have found that the high velocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) can be well explained by Milky Way (MW) tidal shocks, which reproduce precisely the gravitatio…

Interferometric observations of warm deuterated methanol in the inner regions of low-mass protostars

Vianney Taquet, Eleonora Bianchi, Claudio Codella +7

Methanol is a key species in astrochemistry since it is the most abundant organic molecule in the ISM and is thought to be the mother molecule of many complex organic species. Esti…

Scalar field effects on the orbit of S2 star

António Amorim, Michael Bauböck, Myriam Benisty +35

Precise measurements of the S-stars orbiting SgrA* have set strong constraints on the nature of the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. The presence of a black hole in t…

An Episodic Wide-angle Outflow in HH 46/47

Yichen Zhang, Hector G. Arce, Diego Mardones +7

During star formation, the accretion disk drives fast MHD winds which usually contain two components, a collimated jet and a radially distributed wide-angle wind. These winds entra…

A Maximum Parsimony analysis of the effect of the environment on the evolution of galaxies

Didier Fraix-Burnet, Mauro d'Onofrio, Paola Marziani

Context. Galaxy evolution and the effect of environment are most often studied using scaling relations or some regression analyses around some given property. These approaches howe…

Relativistic redshift of the star S0-2 orbiting the Galactic center supermassive black hole

Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees, Andrea Ghez +26

General Relativity predicts that a star passing close to a supermassive black hole should exhibit a relativistic redshift. We test this using observations of the Galactic center st…
