The properties of the bars formed by the bar instability are examined for flat stellar discs. The initial mass models chosen are Kuzmin-Toomre discs, for which two types of exact equilibrium distribution function (DF) are employed in order to realize different distributions of Toomre's Q values along the radius. First, the most linearly unstable, global two-armed modes (MLUGTAMs) of these disc models are determined by numerically solving the linearized collisionless Boltzmann equation. Next, we carry out N-body simulations whose models are constructed from the DFs adopted above. The latter simulations unravel that the MLUGTAMs corresponding to those obtained from the former modal calculations are excited in the early phases of evolution, finally being deformed into bars in the non-linear regime by the bar instability. We show that for simulated bars, the length increases and the axial ratio, in essence, decreases as the amplitude increases. These correlations are almost similar to those of the observed bars. In addition, we find that these bar properties are tightly correlated with the initial typical Q value, irrespective of the DF. In conclusion, a disc with a smaller typical Q value produces a bar which is smaller in amplitude, shorter in length, and rounder in shape. This finding might suggest that the Hubble sequence for barred galaxies is the sequence of decreasing Q from SBa to SBc or SBd. The implied correlations between the initial typical Q value and each of the bar properties are discussed on the basis of the characteristics of the MLUGTAMs. | 9 |

Context. The dominant site of production of r-process elements remains unclear despite recent observations of a neutron star merger. Observational constraints on the properties of the sites can be obtained by comparing r-process abundances in different environments. The recent Gaia data releases and large samples from high-resolution optical spectroscopic surveys are enabling us to compare r-process element abundances between stars formed in an accreted dwarf galaxy, Gaia-Enceladus, and those formed in the Milky Way. <BR /> Aims: Our aim is to understand the origin of r-process elements in Gaia-Enceladus. <BR /> Methods: We first constructed a sample of stars so that our study on Eu abundance is not affected by the detection limit. We then kinematically selected 76 Gaia-Enceladus stars and 81 in situ stars from the Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) DR3, of which 47 and 55 stars, respectively, can be used to study Eu reliably. <BR /> Results: Gaia-Enceladus stars clearly show higher ratios of [Eu/Mg] than in situ stars. High [Eu/Mg] along with low [Mg/Fe] are also seen in relatively massive satellite galaxies such as the LMC, Fornax, and Sagittarius dwarfs. On the other hand, unlike these galaxies, Gaia-Enceladus does not show enhanced [Ba/Eu] or [La/Eu] ratios suggesting a lack of significant s-process contribution. From comparisons with simple chemical evolution models, we show that the high [Eu/Mg] of Gaia-Enceladus can naturally be explained by considering r-process enrichment by neutron-star mergers with delay time distribution that follows a power-law similar to type Ia supernovae but with a shorter minimum delay time. | 9 |

The origin of the quenching in galaxies is still highly debated. Different scenarios and processes are proposed. We use multiband (400-1600 nm) bulge-disc decompositions of massive galaxies in the redshift range 0 < z < 2 to explore the distribution and the evolution of galaxies in the $\log \, {\rm SFR-log}\: M_{*}$ plane as a function of the stellar mass weighted bulge-to-total ratio ($B/T_{M_{*}}$) and also for internal galaxy components (bulge/disc) separately. We find evidence of a clear link between the presence of a bulge and the flattening of the main sequence in the high-mass end. All bulgeless galaxies ($B/T_{M_{*}}$ < 0.2) lie on the main sequence, and there is little evidence of a quenching channel without bulge growth. Galaxies with a significant bulge component ($B/T_{M_{*}}$ > 0.2) are equally distributed in number between star forming and passive regions. The vast majority of bulges in the main-sequence galaxies are quiescent, while star formation is localized in the disc component. Our current findings underline a strong correlation between the presence of the bulge and the star formation state of the galaxy. A bulge, if present, is often quiescent, independently of the morphology or the star formation activity of the host galaxy. Additionally, if a galaxy is quiescent, with a large probability, is hosting a bulge. Conversely, if the galaxy has a discy shape is highly probable to be star forming. | 9 |

Context. Dwarf novæ (DNe) and low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) show eruptions that are thought to be due to a thermal-viscous instability in their accretion disk. These eruptions provide constraints on angular momentum transport mechanisms. <BR /> Aims: We explore the idea that angular momentum transport could be controlled by the dynamical evolution of the large-scale magnetic field. We study the impact of different prescriptions for the magnetic field evolution on the dynamics of the disk. This is a first step in confronting the theory of magnetic field transport with observations. <BR /> Methods: We developed a version of the disk instability model that evolves the density, the temperature, and the large-scale vertical magnetic flux simultaneously. We took into account the accretion driven by turbulence or by a magnetized outflow with prescriptions taken, respectively, from shearing box simulations or self-similar solutions of magnetized outflows. To evolve the magnetic flux, we used a toy model with physically motivated prescriptions that depend mainly on the local magnetization β, where β is the ratio of thermal pressure to magnetic pressure. <BR /> Results: We find that allowing magnetic flux to be advected inwards provides the best agreement with DNe light curves. This leads to a hybrid configuration with an inner magnetized disk, driven by angular momentum losses to an MHD outflow, sharply transiting to an outer weakly-magnetized turbulent disk where the eruptions are triggered. The dynamical impact is equivalent to truncating a viscous disk so that it does not extend down to the compact object, with the truncation radius dependent on the magnetic flux and evolving as Ṁ<SUP>-2/3</SUP>. <BR /> Conclusions: Models of DNe and LMXB light curves typically require the outer, viscous disk to be truncated in order to match the observations. There is no generic explanation for this truncation. We propose that it is a natural outcome of the presence of large-scale magnetic fields in both DNe and LMXBs, with the magnetic flux accumulating towards the center to produce a magnetized disk with a fast accretion timescale. | 9 |
The recent discovery of a kilonova associated with an apparent long-duration gamma-ray burst has challenged the typical classification that long gamma-ray bursts originate from the core collapse of massive stars and short gamma-ray bursts are from compact binary coalescence. The kilonova indicates a neutron star merger origin and suggests the viability of gravitational-wave and long gamma-ray burst multimessenger astronomy. Gravitational waves play a crucial role by providing independent information for the source properties. This work revisits the archival 2015-2020 LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave candidates from the 4-OGC catalog that are consistent with a binary neutron star or neutron star-black hole merger and the long-duration gamma-ray bursts from the Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT catalogs. We search for spatial and temporal coincidence with up to a 10 s time lag between gravitational-wave candidates and the onset of long-duration gamma-ray bursts. The most significant candidate association has only a false-alarm rate of once every 2 yr; given the LIGO/Virgo observational period, this is consistent with a null result. We report an exclusion distance for each search candidate for a fiducial gravitational-wave signal with conservative viewing angle assumptions. | 9 |

Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and diffusion of cosmic rays. Despite its importance, interstellar turbulence, like turbulence in general, is far from being fully understood. In this review we present the basics of turbulence physics, focusing on the statistics of its structure and energy cascade. We explore the physics of compressible and incompressible turbulent flows, as well as magnetised cases. The most relevant observational techniques that provide quantitative insights into interstellar turbulence are also presented. We also discuss the main difficulties in developing a three-dimensional view of interstellar turbulence from these observations. Finally, we briefly present what the main sources of turbulence in the interstellar medium could be. | 9 |

The Kepler space telescope yielded unprecedented data for the study of solar-like oscillations in other stars. The large samples of multi-year observations posed an enormous data analysis challenge that has only recently been surmounted. Asteroseismic modeling has become more sophisticated over time, with better methods gradually developing alongside the extended observations and improved data analysis techniques. We apply the latest version of the Asteroseismic Modeling Portal (AMP) to the full-length Kepler data sets for 57 stars, comprising planetary hosts, binaries, solar-analogs, active stars, and for validation purposes, the Sun. From an analysis of the derived stellar properties for the full sample, we identify a variation of the mixing-length parameter with atmospheric properties. We also derive a linear relation between the stellar age and a characteristic frequency separation ratio. In addition, we find that the empirical correction for surface effects suggested by Kjeldsen and coworkers is adequate for solar-type stars that are not much hotter (T<SUB>eff</SUB>≲6200 K) or significantly more evolved (log g≳4.2, ⟨ Δν ⟩≳80 μHz) than the Sun. Precise parallaxes from the Gaia mission and future observations from TESS and PLATO promise to improve the reliability of stellar properties derived from asteroseismology. <P />Tables A.1-A.3 are also available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (<A href="http://130.79.128.5">http://130.79.128.5</A>) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/601/A67">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/601/A67</A> | 9 |

a mercury drop arrangement tests electrochemically a sample solution , in a horizontal or vertical orientation , employing mercury which is delivered from a mercury reservoir to the test solution via a valve and mercury capillary tube . the mercury is valved to deliver one drop of mercury to the end of the capillary tube which is immersed in the sample solution . an electrochemical test of the sample solution can be performed when the mercury drop is in place , and if the mercury drop is not in place , the mercury in the capillary tube forms a microelectrode . the mercury capillary tube can easily be removed for replacement or cleaning when the valve is closed . closing of the valve produces electrical isolation of the reservoir contents from the mercury in the mercury capillary tube , including the mercury drop itself . such electrical isolation from the mercury reservoir precludes electrical noise generated in the reservoir from contaminating the voltammetric data . environmental concerns are addressed by the invention in that mercury consumption is reduced , and operator exposure to mercury is eliminated . in addition , the invention facilitates remote control over the mercury electrode , and therefore is particularly adapted for monitoring harsh environments . very small capillaries can be employed in the practice of the invention , and pressurization of the mercury reservoir facilitates initialization of the mercury electrode arrangement , and to prevent entrapment of air . | 6 |
Despite their importance, a detailed understanding of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remains elusive. X-ray measurements of the element distributions in supernova remnants (SNRs) offer important clues for understanding the explosion and nucleosynthesis mechanisms for SNe Ia. However, it is challenging to observe the entire ejecta mass in X-rays for young SNRs, because the central ejecta may not have been heated by the reverse shock yet. Here we present over 200 kilosecond Chandra observations of the Type Ia SNR G344.7-0.1, whose age is old enough for the reverse shock to have reached the SNR center, providing an opportunity to investigate the distribution of the entire ejecta mass. We reveal a clear stratification of heavy elements with a centrally peaked distribution of the Fe ejecta surrounded by intermediate-mass elements (IMEs: Si, S, Ar Ca) with an arc-like structure. The centroid energy of the Fe K emission is marginally lower in the central Fe-rich region than in the outer IME-rich regions, suggesting that the Fe ejecta were shock-heated more recently. These results are consistent with the prediction for standard SN Ia models, where the heavier elements are synthesized in the interior of an exploding white dwarf. We find, however, that the peak location of the Fe K emission is slightly offset to the west with respect to the geometric center of the SNR. This apparent asymmetry is likely due to the inhomogeneous density distribution of the ambient medium, consistent with our radio observations of the ambient molecular and neutral gas. | 9 |

Approximately half of the planets discovered by NASA's Kepler mission are in systems where just a single planet transits its host star, and the remaining planets are observed to be in multiplanet systems. Recent analyses have reported a dichotomy in the eccentricity distribution displayed by systems where a single planet transits compared with that displayed by the multiplanet systems. Using N-body simulations, we examine the hypothesis that this dichotomy has arisen because inner systems of super-Earths are frequently accompanied by outer systems of giant planets that can become dynamically unstable and perturb the inner systems. Our initial conditions are constructed using a subset of the known Kepler five-planet systems as templates for the inner systems, and systems of outer giant planets with masses between those of Neptune and Saturn that are centred on orbital radii 2 ≤ a<SUB>p</SUB> ≤ 10 au. The parameters of the outer systems are chosen so that they are always below an assumed radial velocity detection threshold of 3 m s<SUP>-1</SUP>. The results show an inverse relation between the mean eccentricities and the multiplicities of the systems. Performing synthetic transit observation of the final systems reveals dichotomies in both the eccentricity and multiplicity distributions that are close to being in agreement with the Kepler data. Hence, understanding the observed orbital and physical properties of the compact systems of super-Earths discovered by Kepler may require holistic modelling that couples the dynamics of both inner and outer systems of planets during and after the epoch of formation. | 9 |

We performed the first detailed spectral analysis of red giant members of the relatively high-metallicity globular cluster (GC) Tononzintla 2 (Ton 2) using high-resolution near-infrared spectra collected with the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment II survey (APOGEE-2), obtained as part of the bulge Cluster APOgee Survey. We investigated chemical abundances for a variety of species including the light, odd-Z, α-, Fe-peak, and neutron-capture elements from high S/N spectra of seven giant members. The derived mean cluster metallicity is [Fe/H] = −0.70 ± 0.05, with no evidence for an intrinsic metallicity spread. Ton 2 exhibits a typical α-enrichment that follows the trend for high-metallicity Galactic GCs, similar to that seen in 47 Tucanae and NGC 6380. We find a significant nitrogen spread (> 0.87 dex), and a large fraction of nitrogen-enriched stars that populate the cluster. Given the relatively high-metallicity of Ton 2, these nitrogen-enriched stars are well above the typical Galactic levels, indicating the prevalence of the multiple-population phenomenon in this cluster that also contains several stars with typical low first-generation N abundances. We also identify the presence of [Ce/Fe] abundance spread in Ton 2, which is correlated with the nitrogen enhancement, indicating that the s-process enrichment in this cluster has likely been produced by relatively low-mass asymptotic giant branch stars. Furthermore, we find a mean radial velocity of the cluster, −178.6 ± 0.86 km s<SUP>−1</SUP>, with a small velocity dispersion, 2.99 ± 0.61 km s<SUP>−1</SUP>, which is typical of GCs. We also find a prograde bulge-like orbit for Ton 2 that appears to be radial and highly eccentric. Finally, the considerably nitrogen-enhanced population observed in Ton 2, combined with its dynamical properties, makes this object a potential progenitor for the nitrogen-enriched field stars identified so far toward the bulge region at similar metallicity. | 9 |

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves which can be produced by spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Four different analysis methods are used to search in a gravitational-wave frequency band from 10 to 2048 Hz and a first frequency derivative from -10<SUP>-8</SUP> to 10<SUP>-9</SUP> Hz /s . No statistically significant periodic gravitational-wave signal is observed by any of the four searches. As a result, upper limits on the gravitational-wave strain amplitude h<SUB>0</SUB> are calculated. The best upper limits are obtained in the frequency range of 100 to 200 Hz and they are ∼1.1 ×10<SUP>-25</SUP> at 95% confidence level.

Reverberation mapping (RM) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has been used over the past three decades to determine AGN broad-line region (BLR) sizes and central black hole masses, and their relations with the AGN luminosity. Until recently, the sample of objects with RM data was limited to low-luminosity AGNs (L<SUB>opt</SUB> ≲ 10<SUP>46</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>) and low redshifts (z ≲ 0.5). Here we present results from an RM project of some of the most luminous and highest-redshift quasars that have been mapped to date. The study is based on almost 20 years of photometric monitoring of 11 quasars, 6 of which were monitored spectrophotometrically for 13 yr. This is the longest RM project carried out so far on this type of AGNs. We successfully measure a time lag between the C IV λ 1549 broad emission line and the quasar continuum in three objects, and measure a C III] λ 1909 lag in one quasar. Together with recently published data on C IV RM, the BLR size is found to scale as the square root of the UV luminosity over eight orders of magnitude in AGN luminosity. There is a significant scatter in the relation, part of which may be intrinsic to the AGNs. Although the C IV line is probably less well suited than Balmer lines for determination of the mass of the black hole, virial masses are tentatively computed, and in spite of a large scatter, we find that the mass of the black hole scales as the square root of the UV luminosity. | 9 |
