Bastian Abstract: Using ALMA observations, we performed the first systematic survey for transient brightenings (i.e. weak, small-scale episodes of energy release) in the quiet solar chromosphere at 3 mm. Our dataset included images of six 87'' x 87'' regions of the quiet Sun obtained with angular resolution of a few arcsec at a cadence of 2 s. detect, for the first time, a significant number of weak 3 mm quiet Sun transient brightenings. However,their energy budget falls short of meeting the requirements for the heating of the upper layers of the solar atmosphere B3 A&A,Eu
  • 2. arXiv:2004.07257 Constraining the radial drift of millimeter-sized grains in the protoplanetary disks in Lupus Authors: L. Trapman, M. Ansdell, M. R. Hogerheijde, S. Facchini, C. F. Manara, A. Miotello, J. P. Williams, S. Bruderer Abstract: Recent ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks have shown that for most disks the extent of the gas emission is greater than the extent of the thermal emission of the millimeter-sized dust. Both line optical depth and the combined effect of radially dependent grain growth and radial drift may contribute to this observed effect. For a sample of 10 disks of predominantly bright disks are consistent with radial drift and grain growth. We also find six faint disks where the observed gas–dust size difference hints at considerable radial drift and grain growth, suggesting that these are common features among both bright and faint disks. The effects of radial drift and grain growth can be observed in disks where the dust and gas radii are significantly different, while more detailed models and deeper observations are needed to see this effect in disks with smaller differences.

Hull, Paulo Cortes Abstract: …is vital for a robust physical interpretation of polarization data, requiring tests of and validations against potential instrumental systematics. We illustrate this with ALMA Band 3 (97.5 GHz) observations of GRB 171205A taken ≈5.19 days after the burst, where a detection of linear polarization was recently claimed. We present a compilation of polarization observations of GRB radio afterglows, and demonstrate that a significant improvement in sensitivity is desirable for eventually detecting signals polarized at the ≈0.1% level from typical radio afterglows.

(21 additional authors not shown) Abstract: The position of this candidate and the orientation of its orbital plane fit well with observations in the ALMA 12m array image. However, the astrometric signal expected from the orbit of the candidate we detected is 3-sigma away from the astrometric motion of Proxima as measured from early Gaia data. If confirmed, this would be the first observation in imaging of a planet discovered from radial velocities and the second one (after Fomalhaut b) of reflecting circumplanetary material. Further confirmation observations should be done as soon as possible. Astronomy and Astrophysics Eu

The Hβ image obtained by MUSE identifies star-forming regions outside the nuclear regions, suggesting a disk-wide starburst. In contrast, the H40α image obtained by by ALMA identifies a nuclear starburst where optical lines are undetected due to dust extinction (AV∼25). Combining both MUSE and ALMA observations, we conclude that the total SFR is 49±2 M⊙~yr−1 and the contributions from nuclear and disk-wide starbursts are ∼34 % and ∼66 %, respectively.This suggests the dominance of disk-wide star formation in NGC~3256. In addition, pixel-by-pixel analyses for disk-wide star-forming regions suggest that shock gas tracers (e.g., CH3OH) are enhanced where gas depletion time (τgas=Mgas/SFR) is long. This possibly means that merger-induced shocks regulate disk-wide star formation activities. APJ accepted EA
  • 6. arXiv:2004.04176 Etching glass in the early Universe: Luminous HF and water emission in a QSO-SMG pair at z=4.7 Authors: M. D. Lehnert, C. Yang, B. H. C. Emonts, A. Omont, E. Falgarone, P. Cox, P. Guillard Abstract: We present ALMA observations of hydrogen fluoride, HF J=1-0, H20 (202-211), and the 1.2 THz rest-frame continuum emission from the z=4.7 system BR1202-0725. BR1202-0725 is a galaxy group consisting of a QSO, a sub-millimeter galaxy (SMG), and two Ly-alpha emitters. We detected HF in emission in the QSO and possibly in absorption in the SMG, while water is detected in emission in both the QSO and SMG. The QSO is the most luminous HF emitter yet found and has the same ratio of HF emission line to infrared luminosity as a sample of local AGN and the Orion Bar. This consistency covers about 10 orders-of-magnitude in infrared luminosity, L_IR. Based on the conclusions of a study of HF emission in the Orion Bar and modeling, the HF emission in the QSO is either excited by collisions with electrons and H2 in molecular plasmas irradiated by the AGN and intense star formation or predominately by collisions with H2, with a modest contribution from electrons, in a relatively high temperature (~120 K), dense (~10^5 cm^-3) medium. Although HF should be an excellent tracer of molecular outflows, we do not find strong evidence for outflows in HF in either the QSO or the SMG. From a putative absorption feature in HF in the SMG, we estimate an upper limit on the outflow rate, dM/dt_outflow <~45 M_sun/yr. The ratio of the outflow rate to the star formation rate is <5% for the SMG. The broadness of the H2O line in the SMG, FWHM~1020 km/s, may suggest that either the gas on large scales (>4 kpc) is significantly more disturbed and turbulent due either to interactions and mass exchange with the other members of the group or to the dissipation of the energy of the intense star formation or both. The lack of significant molecular outflows in either source may imply that much of the energy from the intense star formation and AGN activity in this pair is being dissipated in their ISM. A&A Eu

Kanagawa, Akimasa Kataoka, Tomohiro Ono, Michael L. Sitko, Sanemichi Z. Takahashi, Kengo Tomida, Takashi Tsukagoshi Abstract: GW Ori is a hierarchical triple system which has a rare circumtriple disk. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 1.3 mm dust continuum and 12CO J=2-1 molecular gas emission of the disk. For the first time, we identify three dust rings in the disk at ~46, 188, and 338 AU, with estimated dust mass of ~70-250 Earth mass, M, respectively. To our knowledge, the outer ring in GW Ori is the largest dust ring ever found in protoplanetary disks. We use visibility modelling of dust continuum to show that the disk has misaligned parts and the innermost dust ring is eccentric. The disk misalignment is also suggested by the CO kinematics modelling. We interpret these substructures as evidence of ongoing dynamical interactions between the triple stars and the circumtriple disk. ApJL NA

Gruppioni, N. P. Hathi, E. Ibar, A. M. Koekemoer, B. C. Lemaux , et al. Abstract: The molecular gas content of normal galaxies at z > 4 is poorly constrained, because the commonly used molecular gas tracers become hard to detect at these redshifts. We use the [C ii] 158 um luminosity, recently proposed as a molecular gas tracer, to estimate the molecular gas content in a large sample of main-sequence star-forming galaxies at z = 4.4 to 5.9, with a median stellar mass of 10^9.7 Msun, drawn from the ALMA Large Program to INvestigate [CII] at Early times (ALPINE) survey. The agreement between molecular gas masses derived from [CII] luminosity, dynamical mass, and rest-frame 850um luminosities, extrapolated from the rest-frame 158 m continuum, supports [C ii] as a reliable tracer of molecular gas in our sample.

  • A. arXiv:2004.06118 Reliably predicting FIR lines from simulated galaxies Authors: Alessandro Lupi, Andrea Pallottini, Andrea Ferrara, Stefano Bovino, Stefano Carniani, Livia Vallini Abstract: Far-infrared (FIR) emission lines are a powerful tool to investigate the properties of the interstellar medium, especially in high-redshift galaxies, where ALMA observations have provided unprecedented information. Interpreting such data with state-of-the-art cosmological simulations post-processed with CLOUDY, has provided insights on the internal structure and gas dynamics of these systems. However, no detailed investigation of the consistency and uncertainties of this kind of analysis has been performed to date. Here, we compare different approaches to estimate FIR line emission from state-of-the-art cosmological simulations, either with CLOUDY or with on-the-fly non-equilibrium chemistry. We find that [CII]158μ predictions are robust. [OI] emission lines are instead model-dependent, as these lines are strongly affected by the thermodynamic state of the gas and non-equilibrium photoionisation effects. For the same reasons, [OI] lines represent an excellent ISM diagnostic. Future observations targeting these lines will be also crucial to constrain models. MNRAS, Eu (Theory)

We postulate that the warm regions of this dust disk dominate the continuum emission at near-to-mid infrared wavelengths, and that H2O and several other molecules observed in absorption are probing this disk. Absorption line profiles are not symmetric, possibly indicating that the warm dust in the disk that produces the infrared continuum. Recent ALMA observations of AFGL 2136 IRS 1 have revealed a compact (93 × 71 mas) disk that shows Keplerian rotation in the H2O 2 = 1–1, 55,0-64,3 transition at 232.687 GHz. The velocity at which the strongest H2O absorption occurs in the infrared coincides with the H2O emission velocity centroid along the disk minor axis. We conclude that the H2O absorption observed in the infrared—as well as the absorption caused by other molecules that (1) have similar absorption profiles, and (2) indicate high rotational temperatures—arises within this circumstellar disk. Additionally, the warm dust in this disk is the dominant source of continuum emission at our observed wavelengths. Molecular absorption in the IR can thus serve as a powerful probe of accretion disks around massive protostars.ApJ accepted, EA No ALMA data.
