Polarimetry of Solar System minor bodies and planets Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2024-12-14 Stefano Bagnulo, Irina Belskaya, Alberto Cellino, Yuna G. Kwon, Olga Muñoz, Daphne M. Stam
The study of the polarisation of light is a powerful tool for probing the physical and compositional properties of astrophysical sources, including Solar System objects. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in polarimetric studies of various celestial bodies within our Solar System: planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Additionally, we review relevant laboratory

Stellar occultations by trans-Neptunian objects Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2024-12-06 Bruno Sicardy, Felipe Braga-Ribas, Marc W. Buie, José Luis Ortiz, Françoise Roques
Stellar occultations provide a powerful tool to explore objects of the outer solar system. The Gaia mission now provides milli-arcsec accuracy on the predictions of these events and makes possible observations that were previously unthinkable. Occultations return kilometric accuracies on the three-dimensional shape of bodies irrespective of their geocentric distances, with the potential of detecting

M 87: a cosmic laboratory for deciphering black hole accretion and jet formation Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2024-11-21 Kazuhiro Hada, Keiichi Asada, Masanori Nakamura, Motoki Kino
Over the past decades, there has been significant progress in our understanding of accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that drive active galactic nuclei (AGNs), both from observational and theoretical perspectives. As an iconic target for this area of study, the nearby giant elliptical galaxy M 87 has received special attention thanks to its proximity, large mass of the central black hole and

Active galactic nuclei: what’s in a name? Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2017-08-23 P. Padovani, D. M. Alexander, R. J. Assef, B. De Marco, P. Giommi, R. C. Hickox, G. T. Richards, V. Smolčić, E. Hatziminaoglou, V. Mainieri, M. Salvato
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are energetic astrophysical sources powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes in galaxies, and present unique observational signatures that cover the full electromagnetic spectrum over more than twenty orders of magnitude in frequency. The rich phenomenology of AGN has resulted in a large number of different “flavours” in the literature that now comprise a complex

Giant star seismology Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2017-06-15 S. Hekker, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard
The internal properties of stars in the red-giant phase undergo significant changes on relatively short timescales. Long near-uninterrupted high-precision photometric timeseries observations from dedicated space missions such as CoRoT and Kepler have provided seismic inferences of the global and internal properties of a large number of evolved stars, including red giants. These inferences are confronted

Mars: a small terrestrial planet Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2016-11-16 N. Mangold, D. Baratoux, O. Witasse, T. Encrenaz, C. Sotin
Mars is characterized by geological landforms familiar to terrestrial geologists. It has a tenuous atmosphere that evolved differently from that of Earth and Venus and a differentiated inner structure. Our knowledge of the structure and evolution of Mars has strongly improved thanks to a huge amount of data of various types (visible and infrared imagery, altimetry, radar, chemistry, etc) acquired by

The realm of the galaxy protoclusters Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2016-11-11 Roderik A. Overzier
The study of galaxy protoclusters is beginning to fill in unknown details of the important phase of the assembly of clusters and cluster galaxies. This review describes the current status of this field and highlights promising recent findings related to galaxy formation in the densest regions of the early universe. We discuss the main search techniques and the characteristic properties of protoclusters

The faint radio sky: radio astronomy becomes mainstream Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2016-09-29 Paolo Padovani
Radio astronomy has changed. For years it studied relatively rare sources, which emit mostly non-thermal radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, i.e. radio quasars and radio galaxies. Now, it is reaching such faint flux densities that it detects mainly star-forming galaxies and the more common radio-quiet active galactic nuclei. These sources make up the bulk of the extragalactic sky

Time delay cosmography Astron. Astrophys. Rev. (IF 27.8) Pub Date : 2016-07-21 Tommaso Treu, Philip J. Marshall
Gravitational time delays, observed in strong lens systems where the variable background source is multiply imaged by a massive galaxy in the foreground, provide direct measurements of cosmological distance that are very complementary to other cosmographic probes. The success of the technique depends on the availability and size of a suitable sample of lensed quasars or supernovae, precise measurements
