- Long & short GRBs with host galaxies data

- Description:
- Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified into long and short categories based on their durations. Broadband studies suggest that these two categories of objects roughly correspond to two different classes of progenitor systems, i.e., compact star mergers (Type I) versus massive star core collapse (Type II). However, the duration criterion sometimes leads to mis-identification of the progenitor systems. We perform a comprehensive multi-wavelength comparative study between duration-defined long GRBs and short GRBs as well as the so-called "consensus" long GRBs and short GRBs (which are believed to be more closely related to the two types of progenitor systems). The parameters we study include two parts: the prompt emission properties including duration (T_90_), spectral peak energy (E_p_), low energy photon index ({alpha}), isotropic {gamma}-ray energy (E_{gamma},iso_), isotropic peak luminosity (L_p,iso_), and the amplitude parameters (f and f_eff_); and the host galaxy properties including stellar mass (M_*_), star formation rate, metallicity ([X/H]), half light radius (R_50_), angular and physical (R_off_) offset of the afterglow from the center of the host galaxy, the normalized offset (r_off_=R_off_/R_50_), and the brightness fraction F_light_. For most parameters, we find interesting overlapping properties between the two populations in both one-dimensional (1D) and 2D distribution plots. The three best parameters for the purpose of classification are T_90_, f_eff_, and F_light_. However, no single parameter alone is good enough to place a particular burst into the right physical category, suggesting the need for multiple criteria for physical classification.

- New AO obs. of exoplanets & brown dwarf companions

- Description:
- The orbital eccentricities of directly imaged exoplanets and brown dwarf companions provide clues about their formation and dynamical histories. We combine new high-contrast imaging observations of substellar companions obtained primarily with Keck/NIRC2 together with astrometry from the literature to test for differences in the population-level eccentricity distributions of 27 long-period giant planets and brown dwarf companions between 5 and 100au using hierarchical Bayesian modeling. Orbit fits are performed in a uniform manner for companions with short orbital arcs; this typically results in broad constraints for individual eccentricity distributions, but together as an ensemble, these systems provide valuable insight into their collective underlying orbital patterns. The shape of the eccentricity distribution function for our full sample of substellar companions is approximately flat from e=0-1. When subdivided by companion mass and mass ratio, the underlying distributions for giant planets and brown dwarfs show significant differences. Low mass ratio companions preferentially have low eccentricities, similar to the orbital properties of warm Jupiters found with radial velocities and transits. We interpret this as evidence for in situ formation on largely undisturbed orbits within massive extended disks. Brown dwarf companions exhibit a broad peak at e~0.6-0.9 with evidence for a dependence on orbital period. This closely resembles the orbital properties and period-eccentricity trends of wide (1-200au) stellar binaries, suggesting that brown dwarfs in this separation range predominantly form in a similar fashion. We also report evidence that the "eccentricity dichotomy" observed at small separations extends to planets on wide orbits: the mean eccentricity for the multi-planet system HR8799 is lower than for systems with single planets. In the future, larger samples and continued astrometric orbit monitoring will help establish whether these eccentricity distributions correlate with other parameters such as stellar host mass, multiplicity, and age.

- Photometric obs. & LAMOST sp. of 4 W UMa binaries
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/901/169
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present new photometric data and LAMOST spectra for the W UMa binaries UV Lyn, V781 Tau, NSVS 4484038, and 2MASS J15471055+5302107. The orbital and starspot parameters are obtained using the Wilson-Devinney program. Comparing the starspot parameters at different times, there are magnetic activities in these four binaries. The orbital period of UV Lyn is increasing at a rate of dP/dt=+8.9(5)x10^-8^d/yr, which maybe due to mass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive component (dM1/dt=-6.4x10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr). The period variation of 2MASSJ15471055+5302107 is also increasing at a rate of 6.0(4)x10^-7^d/yr, which can be explained by mass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive component (dM1/dt=-2.8x10^-7^M_{sun}_/yr). The period variation of V781 Tau presents the downward parabola superimposed the cyclic oscillation. The period of V781 Tau is decreasing (dP/dt=-3.2(4)x10^-8^d/yr), which can be explained by mass transfer from the more massive component to the less massive component (dM2/dt=-2.2x10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr). The cyclic oscillation may be due to the magnetic activity with a period of 30.8(5)yr rather than a third body. The period variation of NSVS4484038 also shows the cyclic oscillation, which could be explained by the magnetic activity with 10.8(1)yr or a black hole candidate. Interestingly, there is a depth variation between the light minimum times of NSVS 4484038, which may also be caused by stellar magnetic activity.

- Description:
- We aim to study the relative positions of quasar emission centers at different wavelengths in order to help link the various realizations of the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), and to unveil systematic uncertainties and individual source behavior at different wavelengths. We based our study on four catalogs representing the ICRS, the ICRF3 positions in the three VLBI bands X, K, and Ka, and the Gaia EDR3 catalog in optical wavelengths. We complemented radio source positions with jet kinematics results from the MOJAVE team, allowing us to obtain jet directions on the sky. A six-parameter deformation model was used to remove systematic uncertainties present in the different catalogs. For a set of 194 objects common to the four catalogs and to the objects whose jet kinematics was studied by the MOJAVE team, we computed the orientation between positions at the different wavelengths and with respect to the directions of the jets. We find that the majority of these objects have their radio-to-optical vector along the jet, with the optical centroid downstream from the radio centroids, and that the K and Ka centroids are preferably upstream in the jet with respect to the X centroid, which is consistent with the paradigm of a simple core-jet model. For a population of multiwavelength positions aligned along the jet, astrometric information can therefore be used to measure the direction of the jet independently of imaging. In addition, we find several sources for which the optical centroid coincides with stationary radio features with a relatively high fraction of polarization, indicating optical emission dominated by a synchrotron process in the jet.
