Feature-driven anomaly flagging in obscured active galactic nucleus light curves with autoencoders
Natale De Bonis, Demetra De Cicco, Stefano Cavuoti +5
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most complex classes of astrophysical objects, displaying a wide range of variability and observational properties. Identifying unusual A…
Classification of blazars based on data-driven approaches
Simone Vaccaro, Maria Isabel Carnerero, Claudia M. Raiteri +5
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs), including blazars, exhibit distinctive variability in their optical light curves, making them ideal for classification studies. This work uses data f…
Scavenger hunt: Selection of obscured active galactic nuclei combining multiband optical variability and colors
Demetra De Cicco, Stefano Cavuoti, Maurizio Paolillo +3
As wide-field optical surveys such as Vera Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) begin operations, time-domain astronomy is facing a data revolution, paving th…
ALMAGAL V. Relations between the core populations and the parent clump physical properties
D. Elia, A. Coletta, S. Molinari +54
Context. The fragmentation of massive molecular clumps into smaller, potentially star-forming cores plays a key role in the processes of high-mass star formation. The ALMAGAL proje…
Navigating AGN variability with self-organizing maps
Ylenia Maruccia, Demetra De Cicco, Stefano Cavuoti +6
Context. The classification of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a challenge in astrophysics. Variability features extracted from light curves offer a promising avenue for distingui…
The Evolutionary Path of Star-Forming Clumps in Hi-GAL
Ylenia Maruccia, Stefano Cavuoti, Massimo Brescia +4
Star formation (SF) studies are benefiting from the huge amount of data made available by recent large-area Galactic plane surveys conducted between 2 μm and 3 mm. Fully characteri…
ALMAGAL III. Compact source catalog: Fragmentation statistics and physical evolution of the core population
A. Coletta, S. Molinari, E. Schisano +49
The mechanisms behind the fragmentation of high-mass dense clumps into compact star-forming cores are fundamental topics in current astrophysical research. The ALMAGAL survey provi…
Dynamical Accretion Flows -- ALMAGAL: Flows along filamentary structures in high-mass star-forming clusters
M. R. A. Wells, H. Beuther, S. Molinari +47
We use data from the ALMA Evolutionary Study of High Mass Protocluster Formation in the Galaxy (ALMAGAL) survey to study 100 ALMAGAL regions at 1 arsecond resolution located…
The Star Formation Rate of the Milky Way as seen by Herschel
D. Elia, S. Molinari, E. Schisano +23
We present a new derivation of the Milky Way's current star formation rate (SFR) based on the data of the Hi-GAL Galactic plane survey. We estimate the distribution of the SFR acro…
Latent Space Explorer: Unsupervised Data Pattern Discovery on the Cloud
T. Cecconello, C. Bordiu, F. Bufano +6
Extracting information from raw data is probably one of the central activities of experimental scientific enterprises. This work is about a pipeline in which a specific model is tr…
Properties of Hi-GAL clumps in the inner Galaxy]{The Hi-GAL compact source catalogue. I. The physical properties of the clumps in the inner Galaxy ()
D. Elia, S. Molinari, E. Schisano +83
Hi-GAL is a large-scale survey of the Galactic plane, performed with Herschel in five infrared continuum bands between 70 and 500 m. We present a band-merged catalogue of spatia…
An analysis of star formation with Herschel in the Hi-GAL Survey. II. The tips of the Galactic bar
M. Veneziani, E. Schisano, D. Elia +20
We present the physical and evolutionary properties of prestellar and protostellar clumps in the Herschel Infrared GALactic plane survey (Hi-GAL) in two large areas centered in the…
The YSO Population in the Vela-D Molecular Cloud
F. Strafella, D. Lorenzetti, T. Giannini +7
We investigate the young stellar population in the Vela Molecular Ridge, Cloud-D (VMR-D), a star forming (SF) region observed by both Spitzer/NASA and Herschel/ESA space telescope.…
Characterizing the structure of diffuse emission in Hi-GAL maps
D. Elia, F. Strafella, N. Schneider +18
We present a study of the structure of the Galactic interstellar medium through the Delta-variance technique, related to the power spectrum and the fractal properties of infrared/s…
