Descripción
The authors discuss two aspects related to the radial dependence of spatial density of interplanetary dust. First, they ask which spatial distribution the dust source should have to lead to the observed relative spatial distribution. Sources limited to a shell at several AU heliocentric distance are found to be inadequate, while extended (0.1 AU ≤ a ≤ 10 AU to 20 AU) sources with the semimajor axes distributed ≡a-1.0 or ≡a-1.1 reproduce the observed density gradient. Second, the authors ask whether collisions in interplanetary space would destroy enough of the larger meteoroid particles to create a sufficient supply of dust-sized debris. This is found to be the case. In addition, the extended dust source resulting from these collisions approximately has the spatial distribution required to fit the observed radial dependence of dust density. The authors therefore consider radio and photographic meteoroids as the mass reservoir from which the interplanetary dust cloud is maintained.

    The variability patterns of the TeV blazar PG 1553 + 113 from a decade of MAGIC and multiband observations

    PG 1553 + 113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To better understand its properties and identify the underlying physical processes driving its variability, the MAGIC Collaboration initiated a multiyear, multiwavelength

    A Perspective on the Milky Way Bulge Bar as Seen from the Neutron-capture Elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE

    This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of ∼2000 stars in the Galactic bulge bar spatially contained within ∣X Gal∣ < 5 kpc, ∣Y Gal∣ < 3.5 kpc, and ∣Z Gal∣ < 1 kpc, and spanning metallicities between ‑2.0 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ +0.5.

    Observational Tests of Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback: An Overview of Approaches and Interpretation

    Growing supermassive black holes (Active Galactic Nuclei; AGN) release energy with the potential to alter their host galaxies and larger-scale environment; a process named "AGN feedback". Feedback is a required component of galaxy formation models and simulations to explain the observed properties of galaxy populations. We provide a broad overview
