摘要

Context. 2MASS is the reference survey in the near-infrared (NIR) part of the spectrum due to its whole-sky coverage, large dynamic range, and proven calibration uniformity. However, previous studies disagree on the value of the zero points (ZPs) for its three bands JHK at the hundredth of a magnitude level. The disagreement should become more noticeable now that Gaia provides whole-sky optical photometry calibrated below that level. Aims. We want to establish the value of the 2MASS ZPs based on NICMOS/HST spectrophotometry of the CALSPEC standard stars and test it with the help of Gaia DR2 parallaxes. Methods. We have computed the synthetic JHK photometry for a sample of stars using the HST CALSPEC spectroscopic standards and compared it with their 2MASS magnitudes to evaluate the ZPs. We have tested our results by analyzing a sample of FGK dwarfs with excellent 2MASS photometry and accurate Gaia DR2 parallaxes. Results. The Vega ZPs for 2MASS J, H, and K are found to be -0.025 +/- 0.005, 0.004 +/- 0.005, and 0.015 +/- 0.005 mag, respectively. The analysis of the FGK sample indicates that the new ZPs are more accurate than previous ones.

A high-rate foreground of sub-second flares from geosynchronous satellites

Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, Sagi Ben-Ami, Noam Segev, David Polishook, Ban Manulis

Summary: The Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope has identified numerous flares lasting for about 0.1-0.3 seconds, most of which are caused by sunlight reflecting off geosynchronous and graveyard orbit satellites. These glints are common in large area surveys and some appear point-like, complicating the search for fast transients like fast radio burst counterparts and gamma-ray bursts. By observing in the direction of the Earth's shadow, the telescope was able to place an upper limit on the rate of fast astrophysical transients brighter than 11 mag.

New insights into time-series analysis IV: panchromatic and flux-independent period finding methods

C. E. Ferreira Lopes, N. J. G. Cross, F. Jablonski

Summary: New time-series analysis tools are needed in disciplines such as astronomy, economics, and meteorology due to increasing rates of data collection at multiple wavelengths. The panchromatic correlated indices K-(fi)((s)) and L-(pfc)((s)) have been adapted to quantify the smoothness of a phased light-curve, resulting in new period-finding methods applicable to single- and multiband data. The proposed method has shown similar efficiency to existing methods and is effective in real and simulated data for finding periods in single and multiple wavebands sharing a fundamental frequency.

Clustering Properties of Intermediate and High-mass Young Stellar Objects

Miguel Vioque, Manuel Cavieres, Michelangelo Pantaleoni Gonzalez, Alvaro Ribas, Rene D. Oudmaijer, Ignacio Mendigutia, Lena Kilian, Hector Canovas, Michael A. Kuhn

Summary: Using the clustering algorithm HDBSCAN, we studied the clustering and association properties of 337 intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Gaia DR3 catalog. The results showed that the clustering rate of lower-mass YSOs was similar to that of T Tauri stars, while the clustering rate of intermediate-mass YSOs decreased with stellar mass. It was also found that massive YSOs often appeared clustered, but intermediate-mass YSOs did not frequently appear in the clusters around massive YSOs. Furthermore, the clustering properties of intermediate- and high-mass YSOs were negatively correlated with their disk emission and accretion rate.
