M. J. Way et al 2017 ApJS 231 12
ROCKE-3D is designed to model the atmospheres of solar system and exoplanetary terrestrial planets with broad ranges of atmospheric conditions, chemistries and compositions, and ocean and land distributions.
Minjin Kim et al 2017 ApJL 844 L21
Observations of the ionized gas around an ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) source in the galaxy NGC 5252 strengthens the proposition that the ULX is the nucleus of a small galaxy accreted by NGC 5252.
M. Ackermann et al 2017 ApJ 843 139
The recent Pass-8 event-level analysis of Fermi-LAT data above 10 GeV has produced a catalog containing 46 extended sources located within 7° of the Galactic plane.
Tracy M. A. Webb et al 2017 ApJL 844 L17
The brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the high-redshift galaxy cluster SpARCS1049+56 contains more than 100 billion solar masses of molecular gas, the largest gas reservoir ever discovered in a BCG above z > 1.
Kristen. B. W. McQuinn et al 2017 AJ 154 51
Using Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging, the tip of the red giant branch method is used to more accurately measure the distances to six spiral galaxies in the Local Volume.
Sukrit Ranjan et al 2017 ApJ 843 110
M-dwarf planets have access to 100–1000 times less bioactive UV fluence than the young Earth, which may affect their ability to ultimately develop life via UV-sensitive prebiotic chemistry.
