White dwarfs in the building blocks of the Galactic spheroid
Pim van Oirschot, Gijs Nelemans, Else Starkenburg +3
The galactic halo likely grew over time in part by assembling smaller galaxies, the so-called building blocks. We investigate if the properties of these building blocks are reflect…
Semi-analytic modelling of the europium production by neutron star mergers in the halo of the Milky Way
Pim van Oirschot, Gijs Nelemans, Onno Pols +1
Neutron star mergers (NSM) are likely to be the main production sites for the rapid (r-) neutron capture process elements. We study the r-process enrichment of the stellar halo of…
HST/COS observations of the newly discovered obscuring outflow in NGC 3783
G. A. Kriss, M. Mehdipour, J. S. Kaastra +24
To understand the nature of transient obscuring outflows in active galactic nuclei, we observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 on two occasions in December 2016 triggered by Swift m…
Diffuse interstellar bands in the HII region M17: Insights into their relation with the total-to-selective visual extinction
M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, N. L. J. Cox, L. Kaper +1
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are broad absorption features measured in sightlines probing the diffuse interstellar medium. Although large carbon-bearing molecules have been pr…
The Galactic WC and WO stars: The impact of revised distances from Gaia DR2 and their role as massive black hole progenitors
Andreas A. C. Sander, Wolf-Rainer Hamann, Helge Todt +4
Wolf-Rayet stars of the carbon sequence (WC stars) are an important cornerstone in the late evolution of massive stars before their core collapse. As core-helium burning, hydrogen-…
The formation of protostellar binaries in primordial minihalos
Rafeel Riaz, Stefano Bovino, Siegfried Vanaverbeke +1
The first stars are known to form in primordial gas, either in minihalos with about ~M or so-called atomic cooling halos of about ~M. Simulations have s…
Gaia Data Release 2. Summary of the contents and survey properties
Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +4
We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability, for sources…
W 50 and SS 433
Michael Bowler, Rony Keppens
A solution to the problems of collimation and latency in relating the morphology of W 50 to SS 433
Herschel Planetary Nebula Survey (HerPlaNS): Hydrogen Recombination Laser Lines in Mz 3
Isabel Aleman, Katrina Exter, Toshiya Ueta +12
The bipolar nebula Menzel 3 (Mz 3) was observed as part of the \textit{Herschel} Planetary Nebula Survey (\textit{HerPlaNS}), which used the PACS and SPIRE instruments aboard the \…
A changing-look AGN to be probed by X-ray polarimetry
Beatriz Agís González, Damien Hutsemékers, Giovanni Miniutti
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce the highest intrinsic luminosities in the Universe from within a compact region. The central engine is thought to be powered by accretion onto…
Gaia Data Release 2: Mapping the Milky Way disc kinematics
Gaia Collaboration, D. Katz, T. Antoja +12
To illustrate the potential of GDR2, we provide a first look at the kinematics of the Milky Way disc, within a radius of several kiloparsecs around the Sun. We benefit for the firs…
Gaia Data Release 2: The Celestial reference frame (Gaia-CRF2)
F. Mignard, S. Klioner, L. Lindegren +3
The second release of Gaia data (Gaia DR2) contains the astrometric parameters for more than half a million quasars. This set defines a kinematically non-rotating reference frame i…
Gaia Data Release 2: Kinematics of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way
Gaia Collaboration, A. Helmi, F. van Leeuwen +7
The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the outstanding quality of the second data release of the Gaia mission and its power for constraining many different aspects of the dynamic…
