Description
It is reported that 8-13-micron spectra have been obtained at several positions across the extended emission region of M82. No major differences among the spectra are found. In addition, a strong similarity is found between these spectra and the infrared spectrum of the Orion ionization front. The data are interpreted using a model for M82 in which the Orion nebula is taken as typical of a region of active star formation. A star burst model for M82 is constructed using 100,000 regions similar to Orion. The infrared spectral shape, overall luminosity, radio luminosity, and other observable parameters of M82 are consistent with this model. It is also suggested that models similar to the one proposed here may be used to explain the infrared spectrum of active galactic nuclei such as NGC 1614 and NGC 7469.

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO★

    GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characterized by other spectroscopic and photometric instruments. Previous literature studies provide several mass measurements for the three planets, however, with large variations
