We present an analysis of ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) 2007on and 2011iv, hosted by the Fornax cluster member NGC 1404. The B-band light curves of SN 2007on and SN 2011iv are characterised by Δm<SUB>15</SUB> (B) decline-rate values of 1.96 mag and 1.77 mag, respectively. Although they have similar decline rates, their peak B- and H-band magnitudes differ by 0.60 mag and 0.35 mag, respectively. After correcting for the luminosity vs. decline rate and the luminosity vs. colour relations, the peak B-band and H-band light curves provide distances that differ by 14% and 9%, respectively. These findings serve as a cautionary tale for the use of transitional SNe Ia located in early-type hosts in the quest to measure cosmological parameters. Interestingly, even though SN 2011iv is brighter and bluer at early times, by three weeks past maximum and extending over several months, its B - V colour is 0.12 mag redder than that of SN 2007on. To reconcile this unusual behaviour, we turn to guidance from a suite of spherical one-dimensional Chandrasekhar-mass delayed-detonation explosion models. In this context, <SUP>56</SUP>Ni production depends on both the so-called transition density and the central density of the progenitor white dwarf. To first order, the transition density drives the luminosity-width relation, while the central density is an important second-order parameter. Within this context, the differences in the B - V colour evolution along the Lira regime suggest that the progenitor of SN 2011iv had a higher central density than SN 2007on. <P />The photometry tables are only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (<A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://130.79.128.5</A>) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/611/A58">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/611/A58</A> | 9 |
Context. Transiting planets around stars are discovered mostly through photometric surveys. Unlike radial velocity surveys, photometric surveys do not tend to target slow rotators, inactive or metal-rich stars. Nevertheless, we suspect that observational biases could also impact transiting-planet hosts. <BR /> Aims: This paper aims to evaluate how selection effects reflect on the evolutionary stage of both a limited sample of transiting-planet host stars (TPH) and a wider sample of planet-hosting stars detected through radial velocity analysis. Then, thanks to uniform derivation of stellar ages, a homogeneous comparison between exoplanet hosts and field star age distributions is developed. <BR /> Methods: Stellar parameters have been computed through our custom-developed isochrone placement algorithm, according to Padova evolutionary models. The notable aspects of our algorithm include the treatment of element diffusion, activity checks in terms of log{R'<SUB>HK</SUB>} and vsini, and the evaluation of the stellar evolutionary speed in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram in order to better constrain age. Working with TPH, the observational stellar mean density ρ<SUB>⋆</SUB> allows us to compute stellar luminosity even if the distance is not available, by combining ρ<SUB>⋆</SUB> with the spectroscopic log g. <BR /> Results: The median value of the TPH ages is 5 Gyr. Even if this sample is not very large, however the result is very similar to what we found for the sample of spectroscopic hosts, whose modal and median values are [3, 3.5) Gyr and 4.8 Gyr, respectively. Thus, these stellar samples suffer almost the same selection effects. An analysis of MS stars of the solar neighbourhood belonging to the same spectral types bring to an age distribution similar to the previous ones and centered around solar age value. Therefore, the age of our Sun is consistent with the age distribution of solar neighbourhood stars with spectral types from late F to early K, regardless of whether they harbour planets or not. We considered the possibility that our selected samples are older than the average disc population. | 9 |

Based on 2-minute cadence TESS data from sectors 1-50, we report the results of the systematic extraction of $\delta$ Scuti-type pulsations in the 6431 eclipsing binaries with orbital periods shorter than 13 days. A total number of 242 pulsators were found in those systems, including 143 new discoveries. We examined their pulsation properties based on the H-R diagram and the relationships between the dominant pulsation period $P_{\rm dom}$, orbital period $P_{\rm orb}$, and effective temperature $T_{\rm eff}$. As a consequence, 216 targets are likely $\delta$ Scuti stars (123 new), 11 likely $\gamma$ Doradus-$\delta$ Scuti hybrid stars (8 new), 5 likely $\beta$ Cephei stars (4 new), 4 likely $\delta$ Scuti-$\gamma$ Doradus hybrid stars (3 new), 3 likely Maia stars (3 new), 2 likely pulsating red giants (1 new), and a new unclassified star. As for the 6 new $\delta$ Scuti pulsators in eclipsing binaries with $P_{\rm orb}$ $<$ 0.65 days, we found that 3 of them significantly exceed the upper limits of the $P_{\rm dom}$/$P_{\rm orb}$ ratio. This may indicate that $P_{\rm dom}$ and $P_{\rm orb}$ are uncorrelated for them. Finally, we statistically analyzed the dominant pulsation periods of the 216 $\delta$ Scuti stars in eclipsing binaries. Those stars concentrate around 225 $\mu$Hz and the proportion of stars in the high-frequency region is significantly higher than that of single stars, which could be ascribed to the mass transfer process. | 9 |

We present a sample of ∼140,000 primary red clump (RC) stars of spectral signal-to-noise ratios higher than 20 from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Galactic spectroscopic surveys, selected based on their positions in the metallicity-dependent effective temperature-surface gravity and color-metallicity diagrams, supervised by high-quality Kepler asteroseismology data. The stellar masses and ages of those stars are further determined from the LAMOST spectra, using the kernel principal component analysis method and are trained with thousands of RCs in the LAMOST-Kepler fields with accurate asteroseismic mass measurements. The purity and completeness of our primary RC sample are generally higher than 80%. For the mass and age, a variety of tests show typical uncertainties of 15% and 30%, respectively. Using over 10,000 primary RCs with accurate distance measurements from the parallaxes of Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2), we recalibrate the K<SUB>s</SUB> absolute magnitudes of primary RCs by, for the first time, considering both the metallicity and age dependencies. With the the new calibration, distances are derived for all the primary RCs, with a typical uncertainty of 5-10%, which is even better than the values yielded by the Gaia parallax measurements for stars beyond 3-4 kpc. The sample covers a significant volume of the Galactic disk of 4 ≤ R ≤ 16 kpc, $| Z| \leqslant 5\,\mathrm{kpc}$ , and -20 ≤ φ ≤ 50°. Stellar atmospheric parameters, line-of-sight velocities, and elemental abundances derived from the LAMOST spectra and proper motions of Gaia DR2 are also provided for the sample stars. Finally, the selection function of the sample is carefully evaluated in the color-magnitude plane for different sky areas. The sample is publicly available at 10.5281/zenodo.3875974. | 9 |
We studied the optical variability of 241 BL Lacs and 83 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) from the 4LAC catalog using data from the Tomo-e Gozen Northern Sky Transient Survey, with $\sim$ 50 epochs per blazar on average. We excluded blazars whose optical variability may be underestimated due to the influence of their host galaxy, based on their optical luminosity ($L_O$). FSRQs with $\gamma$-ray photon index greater than 2.6 exhibit very low optical variability, and their distribution of standard deviation of repeated photometry is significantly different from that of the other FSRQs (KS test P value equal to $5 \times 10^{-6}$ ). Among a sample of blazars at any particular cosmological epoch, those with lower $\gamma$-ray luminosity ($L_\gamma$) tend to have lower optical variability, and those FSRQs with $\gamma$-ray photon index greater than 2.6 tend to have low $L_\gamma$. We also measured the structure function of optical variability and found that the amplitude of the structure function for FSRQs is higher than previously measured and higher than that of BL Lacs at multiple time lags. Additionally, the amplitude of the structure function of FSRQs with high $\gamma$-ray photon index is significantly lower than that of FSRQs with low $\gamma$-ray photon index. The structure function of FSRQs of high $\gamma$-ray photon index shows a characteristic timescale of more than 10 days, which may be the variability timescale of the accretion disk. In summary, we infer that the optical component of FSRQs with high $\gamma$-ray photon index may be dominated by the accretion disk. | 9 |

Interior modeling of Jupiter and Saturn has advanced to a state where thousands of models are generated that cover the uncertainty space of many parameters. This approach demands a fast method of computing their gravity field and shape. Moreover, the Cassini mission at Saturn and the ongoing Juno mission delivered gravitational harmonics up to J <SUB>12</SUB>. Here we report the expansion of the theory of figures, which is a fast method for gravity field and shape computation, to the seventh order (ToF7), which allows for computation of up to J <SUB>14</SUB>. We apply three different codes to compare the accuracy using polytropic models. We apply ToF7 to Jupiter and Saturn interior models in conjunction with CMS-19 H/He equation of state. For Jupiter, we find that J <SUB>6</SUB> is best matched by a transition from an He-depleted to He-enriched envelope at 2-2.5 Mbar. However, the atmospheric metallicity reaches 1 × solar only if the adiabat is perturbed toward lower densities, or if the surface temperature is enhanced by ~14 K from the Galileo value. Our Saturn models imply a largely homogeneous-in-Z envelope at 1.5-4 × solar atop a small core. Perturbing the adiabat yields metallicity profiles with extended, heavy-element-enriched deep interior (diffuse core) out to 0.4 R <SUB>Sat</SUB>, as for Jupiter. Classical models with compact, dilute, or no core are possible as long as the deep interior is enriched in heavy elements. Including a thermal wind fitted to the observed wind speeds, representative Jupiter and Saturn models are consistent with all observed J <SUB> n </SUB> values. | 9 |

By using the `standard pair' technique of pairing stars of almost nil and high extinction but otherwise with almost identical stellar parameters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and combining this information with photometry from the SDSS, Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) photometry ranging from the far ultraviolet (UV) to the mid-infrared (mid-IR), we measure dust reddening in the FUV - NUV, NUV - u, u - g, g - r, r - i, i - z, z - J, J - H, H - Ks, Ks - W1 and W1 - W2 colours for thousands of Galactic stars. The measurements, together with the E(B - V) values given by Schlegel et al., allow us to derive the observed, model-free reddening coefficients for these colours. The results are compared with previous measurements and with the predictions of various Galactic reddening laws. We find that (i) the dust reddening map of Schlegel et al. overestimates E(B - V) by about 14 per cent, consistent with the recent work of Schlafly et al. and Schlafly & Finkbeiner; (ii) after accounting for the differences in reddening normalization, the newly deduced reddening coefficients for colours FUV - NUV, NUV - u, u - g, g - r, r - i, i - z, z - J, J - H and H - Ks differ by respectively -1640, 15.5, 12.6, -0.8, 3.4, -0.7, 3.5, 2.5 and 1.4 per cent from the predictions of the Fitzpatrick reddening law for an assumed total-to-selective extinction ratio R(V) = 3.1, and by respectively -1730, 13.0 , 8.1, 10.0, 8.0, -13.5, -1.7, -6.7 and -17.1 per cent from the predictions of the CCM reddening law; and (iii) all the new reddening coefficients, except those for NUV - u and u - g, favour the R(V) = 3.1 Fitzpatrick reddening law over the R(V) = 3.1 CCM and O'Donnell reddening laws. Using the Ks-band extinction coefficient predicted by the R(V) = 3.1 Fitzpatrick law and the observed reddening coefficients, we deduce new extinction coefficients for the FUV, NUV, u, g, r, i, z, J, H, W1 and W2 passbands. We recommend that the new reddening and extinction coefficients should be used in the future and that the Fitzpatrick reddening law in the UV should probably be updated. We stress, however, that the FUV- and NUV-band coefficients should be used with caution, given their relatively large measurement uncertainties. Finally, potential applications of the `standard pair' technique with the upcoming LAMOST Galactic surveys are discussed. | 9 |
We study the structure of the accretion flow in the hard state of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 with NICER data. The power spectra show broad-band variability which can be fit with four Lorentzian components peaking at different time-scales. Extracting power spectra as a function of energy enables the energy spectra of these different power spectral components to be reconstructed. We found significant spectral differences among Lorentzians, with the one corresponding to the shortest variability time-scales displaying the hardest spectrum. Both the variability spectra and the time-averaged spectrum are well-modelled by a disc blackbody and thermal Comptonization, but the presence of (at least) two Comptonization zones with different temperatures and optical depths is required. The disc blackbody component is highly variable, but only in the variability components peaking at the longest time-scales ($\lower.5ex\hbox{$\,\, \buildrel\gt \over \sim \,\,$}1$ s). The seed photons for the spectrally harder zone come predominantly from the softer Comptonization zone. Our results require the accretion flow in this source to be structured, and cannot be described by a single Comptonization region upscattering disc blackbody photons, and reflection from the disc. | 9 |

Context. The Galactic Center black hole and the nuclear star cluster are surrounded by a clumpy ring of gas and dust, the circumnuclear disk (CND), that rotates about them at a standoff distance of ≃1.5 pc. The mass and density of individual clumps in the CND are disputed. <BR /> Aims: We seek to use H<SUB>2</SUB> to characterize the clump size distribution and to investigate the morphology and dynamics of the interface between the ionized interior layer of the CND and the molecular reservoir lying farther out (corresponding to the inner rim of the CND, illuminated in ultraviolet light by the central star cluster). <BR /> Methods: We have observed two fields of approximately 20″ × 20″ in the CND at near-infrared wavelengths with the OSIRIS spectro-imager at the Keck Observatory. These two fields, located at the approaching and receding nodes of the CND, best display this interface. Our data cover two H<SUB>2</SUB> lines as well as the Brγ line (tracing H II). We have developed the tool CubeFit, an original method for extracting maps of continuous physical parameters (such as the velocity field and velocity dispersion) from integral-field spectroscopy data, using regularization to largely preserve spatial resolution in regions of low signal-to-noise ratio. <BR /> Results: This original method enables us to isolate compact, bright features in the interstellar medium of the CND. Several clumps in the southwestern field assume the appearance of filaments, many of which are parallel to one another. We conclude that these clumps cannot be self-gravitating. <P />Figures 4, 5, 8, 9 and B.1 to B.4 are also available in FITS format at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/664/A97">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/664/A97</A> | 9 |

Radio jets in active galaxies have been expected to interact with circumnuclear environments in their early phase evolutions. By performing the multi-epoch monitoring observation with the KVN and VERA Array at 43 GHz, we investigate the kinematics of the notable newborn bright component C3 located at the tip of the recurrent jet of 3C 84. During 2015 August-September, we discover the flip of C3 and the amount of the flip is about 0.4 mas in angular scale, which corresponds to 0.14 parsec in physical scale. After the flip of C3, it wobbled at the same location for a few months and then it restarted to propagate toward the southern direction. The flux density of C3 coherently showed the monotonic increase during the observation period. The flip is in good agreement with hydrodynamical simulations of jets in clumpy ambient medium. We estimate the number density of the putative clump based on the momentum balance between the jet thrust and the ram pressure from the clump and it is about 10<SUP>3-5</SUP> cm<SUP>-3</SUP>. We briefly discuss possible origins of the clump. | 9 |

The accuracy of galaxy photometric redshift (photo-z) can significantly affect the analysis of weak gravitational lensing measurements, especially for future high-precision surveys. In this work, we try to extract photo-z information from both galaxy flux and image data expected to be obtained by China Space Station Telescope (CSST) using neural networks. We generate mock galaxy images based on the observational images from the Advanced Camera for Surveys of Hubble Space Telescope (HST-ACS) and COSMOS catalogues, considering the CSST instrumental effects. Galaxy flux data are then measured directly from these images by aperture photometry. The multilayer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (CNN) are constructed to predict photo-z from fluxes and images, respectively. We also propose to use an efficient hybrid network, which combines the MLP and CNN, by employing the transfer learning techniques to investigate the improvement of the result with both flux and image data included. We find that the photo-z accuracy and outlier fraction can achieve σ<SUB>NMAD</SUB> = 0.023 and $\eta = 1.43{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for the MLP using flux data only, and σ<SUB>NMAD</SUB> = 0.025 and $\eta = 1.21{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for the CNN using image data only. The result can be further improved in high efficiency as σ<SUB>NMAD</SUB> = 0.020 and $\eta = 0.90{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for the hybrid transfer network. These approaches result in similar galaxy median and mean redshifts 0.8 and 0.9, respectively, for the redshift range from 0 to 4. This indicates that our networks can effectively and properly extract photo-z information from the CSST galaxy flux and image data. | 9 |
in video encoding it is common to encode the image data to remove redundancies in the information to be transmitted . while the pixel data is usually arranged in pixel blocks , the blocks can be arranged in one or more groups of n × m blocks called tiles . the tiles avoid the need to send header information on a tile - by - tile or block - by - block basis , and simplifies parallel processing of the tiles . bits from respective tiles may then be reformatted to recreate bits according to a raster - scan direction . this enables the decoder to receive the bits in a regular raster - scan format , but also have the ability to decode the tiles once the bits are reformatted . by partitioning an image into tiles of size n × m , it is possible to further exploit the intra - frame correspondence of images in a vertical direction as well as horizontal direction since the tiles need not destroy as many dependencies between blocks in a tile as if the blocks where organized in slices or slice groups . | 7 |

Radio astronomy has changed. For years it studied relatively rare sources, which emit mostly non-thermal radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, I.e. radio quasars and radio galaxies. Now, it is reaching such faint flux densities that it detects mainly star-forming galaxies and the more common radio-quiet active galactic nuclei. These sources make up the bulk of the extragalactic sky, which has been studied for decades in the infrared, optical, and X-ray bands. I follow the transformation of radio astronomy by reviewing the main components of the radio sky at the bright and faint ends, the issue of their proper classification, their number counts, luminosity functions, and evolution. The overall "big picture" astrophysical implications of these results, and their relevance for a number of hot topics in extragalactic astronomy, are also discussed. The future prospects of the faint radio sky are very bright, as we will soon be flooded with survey data. This review should be useful to all extragalactic astronomers, irrespective of their favourite electromagnetic band(s), and even stellar astronomers might find it somewhat gratifying. | 9 |

We study gravitational lensing in the vicinity of a slowly rotating massive object surrounded by a plasma. We have studied two effects: (i) the influence of the frame dragging on the deflection angle of the light ray in the presence of plasma (ii) Faraday rotation of the polarization plane of the light. We derive the expression for the lensing angle in a non-diagonal space-time in the weak field regime in the presence of plasma and discuss it for the spacetime metric of the slowly rotating object. The obtained deflection angle depends on (i) the frequency of the electromagnetic wave, due to the dispersion properties of the plasma; (ii) the gravitational mass M; and (iii) the angular momentum J of the gravitational lens. We studied the influence of rotation of the gravitational lens on the magnification of brightness of the source star in the case of microlensing and have shown that it is negligibly small. For the completeness of our study the effect of the Faraday rotation of the polarization plane is considered. | 9 |
Context. Far-infrared (FIR) line emission provides key information about the gas cooling and heating due to shocks and UV radiation associated with the early stages of star formation. Gas cooling via FIR lines might, however, depend on metallicity. <BR /> Aims: We aim to quantify the FIR line emission and determine the spatial distribution of the CO rotational temperature, ultraviolet (UV) radiation field, and H<SUB>2</SUB> number density toward the embedded cluster Gy 3-7 in the CMa-l224 star-forming region, whose metallicity is expected to be intermediate between that of the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Solar neighborhood. By comparing the total luminosities of CO and [OI] toward Gy 3-7 with values found for low- and high-mass protostars extending over a broad range of metallicities, we also aim to identify the possible effects of metallicity on the FIR line cooling within our Galaxy. <BR /> Methods: We studied SOFIA/FIFI-LS spectra of Gy 3-7, covering several CO transitions from J = 14-13 to 31-30, the OH doublet at 79 μm, the [OI] 63.2 and 145.5 μm, and the [CII] 158 μm lines. The field of view covers a 2' × 1' region with a resolution of ~7″-18″. <BR /> Results: The spatial extent of CO high-J (J<SUB>up</SUB> ≥14) emission resembles that of the elongated 160 μm continuum emission detected with Herschel, but its peaks are offset from the positions of the dense cores. The [OI] lines at 63.2 μm and 145.5 μm follow a similar pattern, but their peaks are found closer to the positions of the cores. The CO transitions from J = 14-13 to J = 16-15 are detected throughout the cluster and show a median rotational temperature of 170 ± 30 K on Boltzmann diagrams. Comparisons to other protostars observed with Berschel show a good agreement with intermediate-mass sources in the inner Galaxy. Assuming an origin of the [OI] and high-J CO emission in UV-irradiated C-shocks, we obtained pre-shock H<SUB>2</SUB> number densities of 10<SUP>4</SUP>-10<SUP>5</SUP> cm<SUP>−3</SUP> and UV radiation field strengths of 0.1-10 Habing fields (G<SUB>0</SUB>). <BR /> Conclusions: Far-IR line observations reveal ongoing star formation in Gy 3-7, dominated by intermediate-mass Class 0/I young stellar objects. The ratio of molecular-to-atomic far-IR line emission shows a decreasing trend with bolometric luminosities of the protostars. However, it does not indicate that the low-metallicity has an impact on the line cooling in Gy 3-7. <P />Tables 2, 4, A.1, B.1, C.1, D.1, and D.2 are also 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/674/A64">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/674/A64</A> | 9 |
