We present new constraints on the density profiles of dark matter (DM) halos in seven nearby dwarf galaxies from measurements of their integrated stellar light and gas kinematics. The gas kinematics of low-mass galaxies frequently suggest that they contain constant density DM cores, while N-body simulations instead predict a cuspy profile. We present a data set of high-resolution integral-field spectroscopy on seven galaxies and measure the stellar and gas kinematics simultaneously. Using Jeans modeling on our full sample, we examine whether gas kinematics in general produce shallower density profiles than are derived from the stars. Although two of the seven galaxies show some localized differences in their rotation curves between the two tracers, estimates of the central logarithmic slope of the DM density profile, γ, are generally robust. The mean and standard deviation of the logarithmic slope for the population are γ = 0.67 ± 0.10 when measured in the stars and γ = 0.58 ± 0.24 when measured in the gas. We also find that the halos are not under-concentrated at the radii of half their maximum velocities. Finally, we search for correlations of the DM density profile with stellar velocity anisotropy and other baryonic properties. Two popular mechanisms to explain cored DM halos are an exotic DM component or feedback models that strongly couple the energy of supernovae into repeatedly driving out gas and dynamically heating the DM halos. While such models do not yet have falsifiable predictions that we can measure, we investigate correlations that may eventually be used to test models. We do not find a secondary parameter that strongly correlates with the central DM density slope, but we do find some weak correlations. The central DM density slope weakly correlates with the abundance of α elements in the stellar population, anti-correlates with H I fraction, and anti-correlates with vertical orbital anisotropy. We expect, if anything, the opposite of these three trends for feedback models. Determining the importance of these correlations will require further model developments and larger observational samples. <P />This paper includes data obtained at The McDonald Observatory of The University of Texas at Austin. | 9 |

The gas content of the complete compilation of Local Group dwarf galaxies (119 within 2 Mpc) is presented using H I survey data. Within the virial radius of the Milky Way (224 kpc here), 53 of 55 dwarf galaxies are devoid of gas to limits of M<SUB>H I</SUB> < 10<SUP>4</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>. Within the virial radius of M31 (266 kpc), 27 of 30 dwarf galaxies are devoid of gas (with limits typically <10<SUP>5</SUP> M<SUB>⊙</SUB>). Beyond the virial radii of the Milky Way and M31, the majority of the dwarf galaxies have detected H I gas and H I masses higher than the limits. When the relationship between gas content and distance is investigated using a Local Group virial radius, more of the nondetected dwarf galaxies are within this radius (85 ± 1 of the 93 nondetected dwarf galaxies) than within the virial radii of the Milky Way and M31. Using the Gaia proper-motion measurements available for 38 dwarf galaxies, the minimum gas density required to completely strip them of gas is calculated. Halo densities between 10<SUP>-5</SUP> and 5 × 10<SUP>-4</SUP> cm<SUP>-3</SUP> are typically required for instantaneous stripping at perigalacticon. When compared to halo density with radius expectations from simulations and observations, 80% of the dwarf galaxies with proper motions are consistent with being stripped by ram pressure at Milky Way pericenter. The results suggest that a diffuse gaseous galactic halo medium is important in quenching dwarf galaxies, and that a Local Group medium also potentially plays a role. | 9 |

Code Investigating GALaxy Emission (CIGALE) is a powerful multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting code for extragalactic studies. However, the current version of CIGALE is not able to fit X-ray data, which often provide unique insights into active galactic nucleus (AGN) intrinsic power. We develop a new X-ray module for CIGALE, allowing it to fit SEDs from the X-ray to infrared (IR). We also improve the AGN fitting of CIGALE from UV-to-IR wavelengths. We implement a modern clumpy two-phase torus model, SKIRTOR. To account for moderately extincted type 1 AGNs, we implement polar-dust extinction. We publicly release the source code (named 'X-CIGALE'). We test X-CIGALE with X-ray detected AGNs in SDSS, COSMOS, and AKARI-NEP. The fitting quality (as indicated by reduced χ<SUP>2</SUP>) is good in general, indicating that X-CIGALE is capable of modelling the observed SED from X-ray to IR. We discuss constrainability and degeneracy of model parameters in the fitting of AKARI-NEP, for which excellent mid-IR photometric coverage is available. We also test fitting a sample of AKARI-NEP galaxies for which only X-ray upper limits are available from Chandra observations, and find that the upper limit can effectively constrain the AGN SED contribution for some systems. Finally, using X-CIGALE, we assess the ability of Athena to constrain the AGN activity in future extragalactic studies. | 9 |

<BR /> Aims: The stability of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), realized through geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) positions of thousands of extragalactic objects, is dependent on the individual positional stability of these objects. It has been recently shown that the prevalence of offsets between the VLBI positions of ICRF objects and their Gaia optical positions, which limit the optical-radio reference frame tie, is inversely correlated with optical photometric variability, suggesting that photometrically variable objects may be more positionally stable. In this work, we determine the relationship between VLBI position stability of ICRF objects and optical-radio position offsets as well as optical photometric variability. <BR /> Methods: We created multi-epoch geodetic VLBI solutions for a sample of 520 ICRF sources that have sufficient data to determine the variability in their VLBI positions over time. We compared this position variability with the fractional photometric variability provided by the Gaia extragalactic source catalog, the Gaia-ICRF optical-radio position offsets, the uncertainty-normalized position offsets, and optical BP-RP color as well as with possible confounders such as optical magnitude, VLBI/Gaia position error, and redshift. We determined the relationship between VLBI position stability and γ-ray detection by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and we determined how the VLBI position and optical flux variabilities correlate with the spectral classification of our sample, considering flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), quasi-stellar objects, BL Lacs, Seyfert, and gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio sources or compact-steep-spectrum radio sources. <BR /> Results: We found that VLBI astrometric variability is (i) negatively correlated with optical flux variability, (ii) positively correlated with optical-radio offsets, (iii) negatively correlated with optical color index BP-RP, and (iv) negatively correlated with γ-ray detection. We also found that the most positionally stable sources are among the FSRQ and BL Lac classes. In other words, redder, photometrically variable sources have the most stable VLBI positions, the smallest optical-radio position offsets, and the highest rate of γ-ray detection, and these sources tend to be spectrally classified as blazars. <BR /> Conclusions: Our results are consistent with the most positionally stable sources being blazars, a class of object in which the jet is oriented close to the line of sight and where relativistic beaming increases photometric variability and minimizes the projected offset between the optical and radio positions. Our study should therefore orient future geodetic VLBI observing programs preferentially toward sources with high photometric variability because these sources are predicted to have better VLBI position stabilities and smaller optical-radio position offsets, improving the stability of the celestial reference frame axes. <P />Full Table 1 is available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr">cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr</A> (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/684/A93">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/684/A93</A> | 9 |

We present high resolution ($\sim0.14$" = 710 pc) ALMA [CII] 158$\mu$m and dust continuum follow-up observations of REBELS-25, a [CII]-luminous ($L_{\mathrm{[CII]}}=(1.7\pm0.2)\times 10^9 \mathrm{L_{\odot}}$) galaxy at redshift $z=7.3065\pm0.0001$. These high resolution, high signal-to-noise observations allow us to study the sub-kpc morphology and kinematics of this massive ($M_* = 8^{+4}_{-2} \times 10^9 \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$) star-forming (SFR$_{\mathrm{UV+IR}} = 199^{+101}_{-63} \mathrm{M_{\odot}} \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$) galaxy in the Epoch of Reionisation. By modelling the kinematics with $^{\mathrm{3D}}$BAROLO, we find it has a low velocity dispersion ($\bar{\sigma} = 33 \pm 9$ km s$^{-1}$) and a high ratio of ordered-to-random motion ($V_{\mathrm{rot, ~max}}/\bar{\sigma} = 11 ^{+8}_{-4}$), indicating that REBELS-25 is a dynamically cold disc. Additionally, we find that the [CII] distribution is well fit by a near-exponential disc model, with a Sérsic index, $n$, of $1.3 \pm 0.2$, and we see tentative evidence of more complex non-axisymmetric structures suggestive of a bar in the [CII] and dust continuum emission. By comparing to other high spatial resolution cold gas kinematic studies, we find that dynamically cold discs seem to be more common in the high redshift Universe than expected based on prevailing galaxy formation theories, which typically predict more turbulent and dispersion-dominated galaxies in the early Universe as an outcome of merger activity, gas accretion and more intense feedback. This higher degree of rotational support seems instead to be consistent with recent cosmological simulations that have highlighted the contrast between cold and warm ionised gas tracers, particularly for massive galaxies. We therefore show that dynamically settled disc galaxies can form as early as 700 Myr after the Big Bang. | 9 |

We report the detection (>4σ) of a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the gamma-ray light curve of 3C 454.3 along with a simultaneous marginal QPO detection (>2.4σ) in the optical light curves. Periodic flux modulations were detected in both of these wavebands with a dominant period of ~47 d. The gamma-ray QPO lasted for over 450 d (from MJD 56800 to 57250), resulting in over nine observed cycles which is among the highest number of periods ever detected in a blazar light curve. The optical light curve was not well sampled for almost half of the gamma-ray QPO span due to the daytime transit of the source, which could explain the lower significance of the optical QPO. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modelling of the light curve revealed a significant, exponentially decaying, trend in the light curve during the QPO, along with the 47 d periodicity. We explore several physical models to explain the origin of this transient quasi-periodic modulation and the overall trend in the observed flux with a month-like period. These scenarios include a binary black hole system, a hotspot orbiting close to the innermost stable circular orbit of the supermassive black hole, and precessing jets. We conclude that the most likely scenario involves a region of enhanced emission moving helically inside a curved jet. The helical motion gives rise to the QPO and the curvature (~0.05<SUP>○</SUP> pc<SUP>-1</SUP>) of the jet is responsible for the observed trend in the light curve. | 9 |

Large language models excel in many human-language tasks but often falter in highly specialized domains like scholarly astronomy. To bridge this gap, we introduce AstroLLaMA, a 7-billion-parameter model fine-tuned from LLaMA-2 using over 300,000 astronomy abstracts from arXiv. Optimized for traditional causal language modeling, AstroLLaMA achieves a 30% lower perplexity than Llama-2, showing marked domain adaptation. Our model generates more insightful and scientifically relevant text completions and embedding extraction than state-of-the-arts foundation models despite having significantly fewer parameters. AstroLLaMA serves as a robust, domain-specific model with broad fine-tuning potential. Its public release aims to spur astronomy-focused research, including automatic paper summarization and conversational agent development. | 9 |
