Hot water emission during an outburst in a classical T Tauri star

Zhen Guo, Javier Osses, Vitor Fermiano +34

In this paper, we present observations of an eruptive young star in the Rosette Nebula, identified by the Gaia Science Alerts system using Gaia time series data. We aim to investig…

High energy gamma-ray sources in the VVV survey - III. Spectroscopic confirmation of an AGN at low Galactic latitudes

Eduardo O. Schmidt, Laura D. Baravalle, Ana Pichel +9

We aim to spectroscopically confirm the nature of VVV-J181258.71-314346.7, a candidate counterpart to the unassociated gamma-ray source 4FGLJ1812.8-3144. This object was selected b…

Accretion Funnel Reconfiguration during an Outburst in a Young Stellar Object: EX Lupi

Koshvendra Singh, Joe P. Ninan, Marina M. Romanova +14

EX Lupi, a low-mass young stellar object, went into an accretion-driven outburst in March of 2022. The outburst caused a sudden phase change of ~ 112 5 in…
