The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…
Searching for strong lensing by late-type galaxies in UNIONS
J. A. Acevedo Barroso, B. Clément, F. Courbin +8
Recent wide-field galaxy surveys have led to an explosion in the number of galaxy-scale strong gravitational lens candidates. However, the vast majority of them feature massive lum…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: from Interstellar Visitors to Planetary Defence
J. de León, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Tanga +49
Small Solar system Objects (SSOs) preserve the physical, chemical, and dynamical signatures of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. Upcoming surveys will discover vast numbers of new obj…
Chemical evolution in high-mass star-forming regions
Francesco Fontani, Maria Teresa Beltrán, Anton Vasyunin
Growing evidence shows that most stars in the Milky Way, including the Sun, are born in high-mass star-forming regions, but due to both observational and theoretical challenges, ou…
New Frontiers in the Study of Magnetic Massive Stars with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Alexandre David-Uraz, Véronique Petit, Coralie Neiner +10
High-mass stars are notable for several reasons: they are characterized by strong winds, which inject momentum and enriched material into their surroundings, and die spectacularly…
Study of the atmospheric effects of energetic particle precipitations on giant planets with HWO
J-Y. Chaufray, W. Dunn, L. N. Fletcher +6
UV auroral emissions from giant planets are produced by extra-atmospheric energetic particles interacting with an atmosphere. They have been observed on Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus…
