Many stellar models present difficulties in reproducing basic observational relations of very low mass stars (VLMS), including the mass--radius relation and optical colour--magnitudes cool dwarfs. Here, we improve PARSEC on these points. We implement T--tau from PHOENIX BT-Settl model atmospheres as outer boundary conditions code, finding that this change alone reduces discrepancy 8 to 5 per cent. compare with multi--band photometry clusters Praesepe M67, showing use clearly improves...

We complement the parsec data base of stellar evolutionary tracks with new models massive stars, from pre-main-sequence phase to central carbon ignition. consider a broad range metallicities, 0.0001 ≤ Z 0.04 and initial masses up Mini = 350 M⊙. The main difference respect our previous stars is adoption recent formalizm accounting for mass-loss enhancement when ratio Eddington luminosity, Γe, approaches unity. With this formalizm, are able reproduce Humphreys–Davidson limit observed in...

We compile a new sample of 115 nearby, non-Seyfert galaxies spanning wide range star formation activities, from starburst to nearly dormant, based on ultraviolet (UV) observations with various satellites. combine these infrared (IR) study the relation between ratio total far-IR UV luminosities and spectral slope (the `IRX-UV' relation). show that, at fixed slope, quiescent star-forming in our have systematically lower than galaxies.

We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our are based on the dynamics warm ionized gas (as traced Hα) within galaxies, making this analysis accessible to high-redshift systems, whose kinematics primarily traceable through emission features. Using method kinemetry (developed Krajnović coworkers), we quantify asymmetries both velocity dispersion maps gas, resulting...

Subaru observations of A1689 (z=0.183) are used to derive an accurate, model-independent mass profile for the entire cluster, r<2 Mpc/h, by combining magnification bias and distortion measurements. The projected steepens quickly with increasing radius, falling away zero at r~1.0 well short anticipated virial radius. Our accurately matches onto inner profile, r<200 kpc/h, derived from deep HST/ACS images. combined ACS information is fitted NFW mass, (1.93 \pm 0.20)10^15 M_sun, surprisingly...

Abstract The unluckiest star orbits a supermassive black hole elliptically. Every time it reaches the pericenter, shallowly enters tidal radius and gets partially tidally disrupted, producing series of flares. Confirmation repeated partial disruption event (pTDE) requires not only evidence to rule out other types transients but also proof that one is involved, as TDEs from multiple stars can produce similar In this Letter, we report discovery pTDE, AT 2022dbl. quiescent galaxy at z = 0.0284,...

Classification of galaxy morphology is a challenging but meaningful task for the enormous amount data produced by next-generation telescope. By introducing adaptive polar coordinate transformation, we develop rotationally invariant supervised machine learning (SML) method that ensures consistent classifications when rotating images, which always required to be satisfied physically difficult achieve algorithmically.
