Abstract: We release the first grid of stellar limb-darkening coefficients (LDCs) and intensity profiles (IPs) computed by the consortium of the PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO), the next medium-class (M3) mission under development by the European Space Agency (ESA) to be launched in 2026. We have performed spectral synthesis with \texttt{TurboSpectrum} on a grid of \texttt{MARCS} model atmospheres. Finally, we adopted \texttt{ExoTETHyS} to convolve the high-resolution spectra ($R=2\times10^5$) with the state-of-the-art response functions for all the PLATO cameras, and computed the LDCs that best approximate the convolved IPs. In addition to the PLATO products, we provide new LDCs and IPs for the Kepler mission, based on the same grid of stellar atmospheric models and calculation procedures.

Abstract: Aims. We produce a clean and well-characterised catalogue of objects within 100 pc of the Sun from the Gaia Early Data Release 3. We characterise the catalogue through comparisons to the full data release, external catalogues, and simulations. We carry out a first analysis of the science that is possible with this sample to demonstrate its potential and best practices for its use., Methods. Theselection of objects within 100 pc from the full catalogue used selected training sets, machine-learning procedures, astrometric quantities, and solution quality indicators to determine a probability that the astrometric solution is reliable. The training set construction exploited the astrometric data, quality flags, and external photometry. For all candidates we calculated distance posterior probability densities using Bayesian procedures and mock catalogues to define priors. Any object with reliable astrometry and a non-zero probability of being within 100 pc is included in the catalogue., Results. We have produced a catalogue of 331 312 objects that we estimate contains at least 92% of stars of stellar type M9 within 100 pc of the Sun. We estimate that 9% of the stars in this catalogue probably lie outside 100 pc, but when the distance probability function is used, a correct treatment of this contamination is possible. We produced luminosity functions with a high signal-to-noise ratio for the main-sequence stars, giants, and white dwarfs. We examined in detail the Hyades cluster, the white dwarf population, and wide-binary systems and produced candidate lists for all three samples. We detected local manifestations of several streams, superclusters, and halo objects, in which we identified 12 members of Gaia Enceladus. We present the first direct parallaxes of five objects in multiple systems within 10 pc of the Sun., Conclusions. We provide the community with a large, well-characterised catalogue of objects in the solar neighbourhood. This is a primary benchmark for measuring and understanding fundamental parameters and descriptive functions in astronomy.

Abstract: The bulk chemical composition and interior structure of rocky exoplanets are of fundamental importance to understanding their long-term evolution and potential habitability. Observations of the chemical compositions of the solar system rocky bodies and of other planetary systems have increasingly shown a concordant picture that the chemical composition of rocky planets reflects that of their host stars for refractory elements, whereas this expression breaks down for volatiles. This behavior is explained by devolatilization during planetary formation and early evolution. Here, we apply a devolatilization model calibrated with the solar system bodies to the chemical composition of our nearest Sun-like stars -- α Centauri A and B -- to estimate the bulk composition of any habitable-zone rocky planet in this binary system ("α-Cen-Earth"). Through further modeling of likely planetary interiors and early atmospheres, we find that compared to Earth, such a planet is expected to have (i) a reduced (primitive) mantle that is similarly dominated by silicates albeit enriched in carbon-bearing species (graphite/diamond); (ii) a slightly larger iron core, with a core mass fraction of 38.4+4.7−5.1 wt% (cf. Earth's 32.5 ± 0.3 wt%); (iii) an equivalent water-storage capacity; and (iv) a CO2-CH4-H2O-dominated early atmosphere that resembles that of Archean Earth. Further taking into account its ∼ 25% lower intrinsic radiogenic heating from long-lived radionuclides, an ancient α-Cen-Earth (∼ 1.5-2.5 Gyr older than Earth) is expected to have less efficient mantle convection and planetary resurfacing, with a potentially prolonged history of stagnant-lid regimes., The Astrophysical Journal, 927 (2), ISSN:0004-637X, ISSN:2041-8213

Abstract: We introduce the SAPP (Stellar Abundances and atmospheric Parameters Pipeline), the prototype of the code that will be used to determine parameters of stars observed within the core program of the PLATO space mission. The pipeline is based on the Bayesian inference and provides effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, chemical abundances, and luminosity. The code in its more general version has a much wider range of potential applications. It can also provide masses, ages, and radii of stars and can be used with stellar types not targeted by the PLATO core program, such as red giants. We validate the code on a set of 27 benchmark stars that includes 19 FGK-type dwarfs, 6 GK-type subgiants, and 2 red giants. Our results suggest that combining various observables is the optimal approach, as this allows the degeneracies between different parameters to be broken and yields more accurate values of stellar parameters and more realistic uncertainties. For the PLATO core sample, we obtain a typical uncertainty of 27 (syst.) ± 37 (stat.) K for Teff, 0.00 ± 0.01 dex for log g, 0.02 ± 0.02 dex for metallicity [Fe/H], −0.01 ± 0.03 R⊙ for radii, −0.01 ± 0.05 M⊙ for stellar masses, and −0.14 ± 0.63 Gyr for ages. We also show that the best results are obtained by combining the νmax scaling relation with stellar spectra. This resolves the notorious problem of degeneracies, which is particularly important for F-type stars., This work presents results from the European Space Agency (ESA) space mission PLATO.

Abstract: 61 p.; Le projet Aqui-FR vise à construire un outil de suivi, de prévision et de projections de la ressource en eau souterraine en France en s’appuyant sur les modélisations hydrogéologiques régionales existantes et les outils de suivi et prévisions météorologiques existants. La première phase du projet Aqui-FR a permis de mettre en place et d’exploiter une plateforme de modélisation hydrogéologique nationale rassemblant trois modèles (codes numériques) hydrogéologiques, sur 19 applications (dont 6 bassins karstiques) couvrant 149 000 km2 et représentant 57 couches aquifères ou aquitards. Cette deuxième phase a permis de faire évoluer la plateforme, notamment par l’extension des applications (Tarn & Garonne), recalage avec les flux de la dernière version de SURFEX, et évolution des pré- et post- traitements. Une étape importante a été l’évaluation des simulations sur une longue période de la ré-analyse (60 ans) qui a conduit à la publication de Vergnes et al., 2020. Cette évaluation montre que si des biais importants peuvent persister entre observations et simulations de la piézométrie, ils sont fortement réduits lorsque l’indice de piézométrie standardisé (SPLI) est utilisé. Globalement, Aqui-FR représente bien les évolutions observées. Cette analyse permet d’identifier des variabilités pluriannuelles avec des périodes de plusieurs années en hautes ou basses eaux. Un effort particulier a été mené pour évaluer la reconstitution des basses eaux et plus particulièrement des sécheresses depuis 1958 (stages masters Nalivaev, 2020; Mounier, 2021). Cette évaluation est rendue difficile par le fait que peu de piézomètres ont des longues chroniques observées. L’utilisation du SPLI est alors impossible. L’évaluation de l’occurrence de niveaux piézométriques en dessous du 1er décile sec permet de montrer une bonne adéquation entre observations et simulations sur la période de plus de 60 ans, avec cependant une tendance à sous-estimer ces périodes sèches depuis 2015. Les causes ne sont pas explicitées, mais, une mise à jour des données de prélèvements semble être un bon point de départ pour tenter d’améliorer ce biais. L’étape majeure franchie durant cette phase par Aqui-FR est l’évaluation puis le passage en mode opérationnel de prévisions saisonnières de la ressource en eau souterraine. L’évaluation sur une période prospective de 25 ans a été menée lors du post-doc de Delphine Leroux financée d’abord par la convention service climatique, puis par ce projet. L’évaluation de ces prévisions d’ensemble est réalisée en comparant les prévisions à la ré-analyse. Cette évaluation montre un fort potentiel des prévisions saisonnières, même à 6 mois d’échéance, pour les prévisions débutant en début d’année civil jusqu’à Juillet, et plus particulièrement à partir de Mars, période à laquelle la plus grande partie de la recharge des nappes a déjà eu lieu. Les scores se dégradent sensiblement lorsque les prévisions intègrent les périodes de fortes recharges, i.e. les mois de novembre à janvier. La plus-value des prévisions saisonnières météorologiques, alors réalisées par la version 6 du système de prévisions saisonnières de Météo-France est apparente, comparée à des prévisions climatiques basées sur des années historiques (prévision climatique), ainsi que comparée à des prévisions naïves considérant une persistance de l’anomalie par rapport à la normale sur les prochains mois. La capacité d’évaluer l’extension des sécheresses restituées par la ré-analyse a également été évaluée, et les scores sont bons, avec une grande majorité des membres de la prévision se situant en état de sécheresse. Ce travail a fait l’objet d’une publication en préparation, (Leroux et al., s.d.) qui n’a pu être finalisé à ce stade suite à des aléas administratifs ayant conduits à une fin prématurée du post-doc. Un effort doit être mené pour finaliser la valorisation de ce travail. Face aux résultats encourageants obtenus lors de la validation, les prévisions ont été portées en opérationnel par Météo-France, en utilisant, cette fois, les prévisions du dernier système de prévisions saisonnières (Météo-France system7). Ces prévisions sont ainsi réalisées chaque mois depuis Janvier 2020. Un site web dédié permettant d’accéder à ces prévisions a été créé, et les accès ont été transmis à une quarantaine d’acteurs de l’eau, fin 2020. Un retour d’expérience (REX) de cette première année de prévision a été réalisé (Mounier, 2021). Ce REX a réalisé une vérification des prévisions, via des comparaisons directes entre observations et prévisions des indices standardisés. Il faut souligner qu’il ne peut pas s’agir d’une validation, car les prévisions d’ensemble ne peuvent s’évaluer sur une seule année. Le REX a montré la difficulté de comparer directement les prévisions Aqui-FR avec les observations, tout d’abord du fait de la disponibilité de ces dernières. En effet, alors que l’indice standardisé d’Aqui-FR est calculé sur la même période de référence de 30 ans, cet indice est calculé sur des périodes variables et généralement plus courtes et plus récentes dans les observations. Cela tend à rendre un signal plus humide dans les observations que les simulations, et donc, les prévisions. Il est donc nécessaire, pour ces comparaisons, de recalculer les SPLI sur la même période. Les scores alors obtenus sont qualitativement cohérents avec ceux obtenus lors de la validation sur la période rétrospective, avec des meilleurs résultats sur les prévisions réalisées de Janvier à Juillet. Cependant, ces scores sontenviron deux fois plus faibles. Cela est lié à la comparaison directe aux observations, la comparaison à la ré-analyse permettant de retrouver des scores équivalents lors de la vérification que de la validation rétrospective. Cela conduit à envisager qu’une méthode une adaptation statistique des prévisions basées sur un apprentissage des erreurs entre ré-analyse et observation pourrait être appliquée aux observations et ainsi améliorer sensiblement les comparaisons entre prévisions et observations. Aqui-FR a également été utilisée pour projeter l’impact du dérèglement climatique sur la ressource en eau souterraine. Un ensemble de projections climatiques issues du 5ième rapport du GIEC, régionalisées par Dayon et al., 2018, sous trois scénarios possibles d’évolution de gaz à effet de serre a été analysé. Les projections indiquent une diminution de la ressource en eau souterraine et une augmentation de l’intensité et de la durée des sécheresses en nappe et en rivière sur le domaine pour les scénarios les plus émetteurs (RCP8.5 et RCP4.5). Ces impacts sont fortement atténués avec le scénario le moins émetteur (RCP2.6).

Abstract: The increasing number of well characterised low-mass planets, combined with the valuable informations from stellar and planetary spectroscopy, opens the way to the modeling of planetary structures and compositions, which can be obtained with theoretical and numerical works. This approach gives a valuable insight to understand the formation of planetary systems in the low-mass range. We present a 1D planetary model where the interior is coupled with the atmosphere in radiative-convective equilibirum within a Bayesian retrieval scheme. In addition to a Fe core and a silicate mantle, we take into account water in all its possible phases, including steam and supercritical phases, which is necessary for systems with a wide range of stellar irradiations. Our interior-atmosphere model calculates the compositional and atmospheric parameters, such as Fe and water content, surface pressures, scale heights and albedos. We analyse the multiplanetary systems K2-138 and TRAPPIST-1, which present six low-mass planets with different densities and irradiations. From the individual composition of their planets, we derive a similar trend for both systems: a global increase on the water content with increasing distance from the star in the inner region of the systems, while the planets in the outer region present a constant water mass fraction. This trend reveals the possible effects of migration, formation location and atmospheric mass loss during their formation history.

Abstract: Aims. We aim to demonstrate the scientific potential of the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) for the study of different aspects of the Milky Way structure and evolution and we provide, at the same time, a description of several practical aspects of the data and examples of their usage., Methods. We used astrometric positions, proper motions, parallaxes, and photometry from EDR3 to select different populations and components and to calculate the distances and velocities in the direction of the anticentre. In this direction, the Gaia astrometric data alone enable the calculation of the vertical and azimuthal velocities; also, the extinction is relatively low compared to other directions in the Galactic plane. We then explore the disturbances of the current disc, the spatial and kinematical distributions of early accreted versus in situ stars, the structures in the outer parts of the disc, and the orbits of open clusters Berkeley 29 and Saurer 1., Results. With the improved astrometry and photometry of EDR3, we find that: (i) the dynamics of the Galactic disc are very complex with oscillations in the median rotation and vertical velocities as a function of radius, vertical asymmetries, and new correlations, including a bimodality with disc stars with large angular momentum moving vertically upwards from below the plane, and disc stars with slightly lower angular momentum moving preferentially downwards; (ii) we resolve the kinematic substructure (diagonal ridges) in the outer parts of the disc for the first time; (iii) the red sequence that has been associated with the proto-Galactic disc that was present at the time of the merger with Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage is currently radially concentrated up to around 14 kpc, while the blue sequence that has been associated with debris of the satellite extends beyond that; (iv) there are density structures in the outer disc, both above and below the plane, most probably related to Monoceros, the Anticentre Stream, and TriAnd, for which the Gaia data allow an exhaustive selection of candidate member stars and dynamical study; and (v) the open clusters Berkeley 29 and Saurer 1, despite being located at large distances from the Galactic centre, are on nearly circular disc-like orbits., Conclusions. Even with our simple preliminary exploration of the Gaia EDR3, we demonstrate how, once again, these data from the European Space Agency are crucial for our understanding of the different pieces of our Galaxy and their connection to its global structure and history.

Abstract: We present the early installment of the third Gaia data release, Gaia EDR3, consisting of astrometry and photometry for 1.8 billion sources brighter than magnitude 21, complemented with the list of radial velocities from Gaia DR2. Gaia EDR3 contains celestial positions and the apparent brightness in G for approximately 1.8 billion sources. For 1.5 billion of those sources, parallaxes, proper motions, and the (G_BP-G_RP) colour are also available. The passbands for G, G_BP, and G_RP are provided as part of the release. For ease of use, the 7 million radial velocities from Gaia DR2 are included in this release, after the removal of a small number of spurious values. New radial velocities will appear as part of Gaia DR3. Finally, Gaia EDR3 represents an updated materialisation of the celestial reference frame (CRF) in the optical, the Gaia-CRF3, which is based solely on extragalactic sources. The creation of the source list for Gaia EDR3 includes enhancements that make it more robust with respect to high proper motion stars, and the disturbing effects of spurious and partially resolved sources. The source list is largely the same as that for Gaia DR2, but it does feature new sources and there are some notable changes. The source list will not change for Gaia DR3. Gaia EDR3 represents a significant advance over Gaia DR2, with parallax precisions increased by 30 percent, proper motion precisions increased by a factor of 2, and the systematic errors in the astrometry suppressed by 30--40 percent for the parallaxes and by a factor ~2.5 for the proper motions. The photometry also features increased precision, but above all much better homogeneity across colour, magnitude, and celestial position. A single passband for G, G_BP, and G_RP is valid over the entire magnitude and colour range, with no systematics above the 1 percent level.

Abstract: Solar analogues are important stars to study for understanding the properties of the Sun. Evolutionary modeling, combined with seismic and spectroscopic analysis, becomes a powerful method to characterize stellar intrinsic parameters, such as mass, radius, metallicity and age.However, these characteristics, relevant for other aspects of astrophysics or exoplanetary system physics for example, are difficult to obtain with a high precision and/or accuracy. The goal of this study is to characterize the two solar analogues HD42618 and HD43587, observed by CoRoT. In particular, we aim to infer precise mass, radius, and age, using evolutionary modeling constrained by spectroscopic, photometric, and seismic analysis. These stars show evidences of being older than the Sun but with a relatively large lithium abundance. We present the seismic analysis of HD42618, and the modeling of the two solar analogs HD42618 andHD43587 using the CESTAM stellar evolution code. Models were computed to reproduce the spectroscopic (effective temperature and metallicity) and seismic (mode frequencies) data,and the luminosity of the stars, based on Gaia parallaxes. We infer very similar values of mass and radius for both stars compared to the literature, within the uncertainties, and reproduce correctly the seismic constraints. For HD42618, the modeling shows it is slightly less massive and older than the Sun. For HD43587, it confirms it is more massive and older than the Sun,in agreement with previous results. The use of chemical clocks improves the reliability of our age estimates., 8 pages, 5 figures, 4 tables

Abstract: This paper includes data collected by the TESS mission, which are publicly available from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). et al., Over the course of its history, the Milky Way has ingested multiple smaller satellite galaxies. Although these accreted stellar populations can be forensically identified as kinematically distinct structures within the Galaxy, it is difficult in general to date precisely the age at which any one merger occurred. Recent results have revealed a population of stars that were accreted via the collision of a dwarf galaxy, called Gaia–Enceladus, leading to substantial pollution of the chemical and dynamical properties of the Milky Way. Here we identify the very bright, naked-eye star ν Indi as an indicator of the age of the early in situ population of the Galaxy. We combine asteroseismic, spectroscopic, astrometric and kinematic observations to show that this metal-poor, alpha-element-rich star was an indigenous member of the halo, and we measure its age to be 11.0±0.7 (stat) ±0.8 (sys) billion years. The star bears hallmarks consistent with having been kinematically heated by the Gaia–Enceladus collision. Its age implies that the earliest the merger could have begun was 11.6 and 13.2 billion years ago, at 68% and 95% confidence, respectively. Computations based on hierarchical cosmological models slightly reduce the above limits., J.M. acknowledge support from the ERC Consolidator Grant funding scheme (project ASTEROCHRONOMETRY, grant agreement number 772293).

Abstract: International audience; The new AquiFR hydrometeorological modelling platform was developed to provide short-to-long-term forecasts for groundwater resource management in France. This study aims to describe and assess this new tool over a long period of 60 years. This platform gathers in a single numerical tool several hydrogeological models covering much of the French metropolitan area. A total of 11 aquifer systems are simulated through spatially distributed models using either the MARTHE (Modélisation d'Aquifères avec un mail-lage Rectangulaire, Transport et HydrodynamiquE; Modelling Aquifers with Rectangular cells, Transport and Hy-drodynamics) groundwater modelling software programme or the EauDyssée hydrogeological platform. A total of 23 karstic systems are simulated by a lumped reservoir approach using the EROS (Ensemble de Rivières Organisés en Sous-bassins; set of rivers organized in sub-basins) software programme. AquiFR computes the groundwater level, the groundwater-surface-water exchanges and the river flows. A simulation covering a 60-year period from 1958 to 2018 is achieved in order to evaluate the performance of this platform. The 8 km resolution SAFRAN (Système d'Analyse Fournissant des Renseignements Adaptés à la Nivologie) meteorological analysis provides the atmospheric variables needed by the SURFEX (SURFace EXternalisée) land surface model in order to compute surface runoff and groundwater recharge used by the hydrogeological models. The assessment is based on more than 600 piezometers and more than 300 gauging stations corresponding to simulated rivers Published by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union. 634 J.-P. Vergnes et al.: The AquiFR hydrometeorological modelling platform and outlets of karstic systems. For the simulated piezometric heads, 42 % and 60 % of the absolute biases are lower than 2 and 4 m respectively. The standardized piezometric level index (SPLI) was computed to assess the ability of AquiFR to identify extreme events such as groundwater floods or droughts in the long-term simulation over a set of piezome-ters used for groundwater resource management. A total of 56 % of the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE; E f) coefficient calculations between the observed and simulated SPLI time series are greater than 0.5. The quality of the results makes it possible to consider using the platform for real-time monitoring and seasonal forecasts of groundwater resources as well as for climate change impact assessments.

Abstract: Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) provides accurate astrometry for about 1.6 million compact (QSO-like) extragalactic sources, 1.2 million of which have the best-quality five-parameter astrometric solutions., Aims. The proper motions of QSO-like sources are used to reveal a systematic pattern due to the acceleration of the solar systembarycentre with respect to the rest frame of the Universe. Apart from being an important scientific result by itself, the acceleration measured in this way is a good quality indicator of the Gaia astrometric solution., Methods. Theeffect of the acceleration was obtained as a part of the general expansion of the vector field of proper motions in vector spherical harmonics (VSH). Various versions of the VSH fit and various subsets of the sources were tried and compared to get the most consistent result and a realistic estimate of its uncertainty. Additional tests with the Gaia astrometric solution were used to get a better idea of the possible systematic errors in the estimate., Results. Our best estimate of the acceleration based on Gaia EDR3 is (2.32 +/- 0.16) x 10(-10) m s(-2) (or 7.33 +/- 0.51 km s(-1) Myr-1) towards alpha = 269.1 degrees +/- 5.4 degrees, delta = -31.6 degrees +/- 4.1 degrees, corresponding to a proper motion amplitude of 5.05 +/- 0.35 mu as yr(-1). This is in good agreement with the acceleration expected from current models of the Galactic gravitational potential. We expect that future Gaia data releases will provide estimates of the acceleration with uncertainties substantially below 0.1 mu as yr(-1).

Abstract: Doppler-based planet surveys point to an increasing occurrence rate of giant planets with stellar mass. Such surveys rely on evolved stars for a sample of intermediate-mass stars (so-called retired A stars), which are more amenable to Doppler observations than their main-sequence progenitors. However, it has been hypothesised that the masses of subgiant and low-luminosity red-giant stars targeted by these surveys --- typically derived from a combination of spectroscopy and isochrone fitting --- may be systematically overestimated. Here, we test this hypothesis for the particular case of the exoplanet-host star HD 212771 using K2 asteroseismology. The benchmark asteroseismic mass ($1.45^{+0.10}_{-0.09}\:\text{M}_{\odot}$) is significantly higher than the value reported in the discovery paper ($1.15\pm0.08\:\text{M}_{\odot}$), which has been used to inform the stellar mass-planet occurrence relation. This result, therefore, does not lend support to the above hypothesis. Implications for the fates of planetary systems are sensitively dependent on stellar mass. Based on the derived asteroseismic mass, we predict the post-main-sequence evolution of the Jovian planet orbiting HD 212771 under the effects of tidal forces and stellar mass loss., Accepted for publication in MNRAS; 10 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables

Abstract: The new AquiFR hydometeorological modelling platform was developed to provide short to long-term forecasts for groundwater resource management in France. The present study aims to describe and assess this new tool over a long-term period of 60 years. This platform gathers in a single numerical tool different hydrogeological models covering much of the French metropolitan area. Eleven aquifer systems are simulated through spatially distributed models using either the MARTHE groundwater modelling software or the EauDyssée hydrogeological platform. Twenty-three karstic systems are simulated by lumped models using the EROS software. AquiFR computes the groundwater level, the groundwater surface water exchanges, and the river flows at multiple river gauging stations. A simulation covering a 60 year period from 1958 to 2018 is achieved in order to evaluate the performance of this platform. The 8 km resolution SAFRAN meteorological reanalysis provides the atmospheric variables needed by the SURFEX land surface model in order tocompute surface runoff that are used by all the hydrogeological models. The assessment is based on a wide range of selected piezometers as well as gauging stations corresponding to simulated rivers and outlets of karstic systems. For the simulated piezometric heads, 40 % and 60 % of the absolute biases are lower than 2 m and 4 m respectively. The Standardized Piezometric Level Index (SPLI) was computed to assess the ability of AquiFR to identify extreme events such as groundwater flooding or droughts in long-term simulations over a set of piezometers used for groundwater resource management. 55 % of the Nash-Sutcliff scores calculated between the observed and simulated SPLI time series are greater than 0.5. Further work will focus on the use of this platform for short-term to seasonal forecasts in an operational mode and for climate change impact assessment.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND:In this retrospective study, we investigated the impact of 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT (PSMA PET-CT) upon the treatment plan and therapeutic response obtained for Prostate Cancer (PCa) patients presenting an occult biochemical recurrence.METHODS:Forty-two patients with previously negative or doubtful 18F-Choline (FCH) were enrolled. PET images were recorded 1 h after injection of tracer. Only a few months after treatment ended, a PSA assay was requested to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment based on PSMA results.RESULTS:PSMA-positive lesions were detected in 34/42 (80.9%) patients. Detection rates were 85.7% and 89.3% for serum PSA levels lower than 2 ng/mL, and >2 ng/mL, respectively. One hundred seventy-three lesions were detected: 132/173 in lymph nodes (76.3%), 22/173 as metastatic sites (bone or lung) (12.7%), and 19/173 in the prostate bed (10.9%). As a result of the PSMA PET-CT, therapeutic management changed in 31/42 patients (73.8%). With a follow-up of 4.9 ± 2.27 months, 32/42 (76.2%) PSA assays after treatment guided by PSMA PET-CT were collected. For 37.5% (12/32) of patients, the serum PSA level was lower than 0.2 ng/mL and a PSA decrease of over 50% in 8 (25.0%) other patients were obtained.CONCLUSION:Performing a PSMA PET-CT when FCH PET-CT was doubtful or negative allows the recurrence localization in more 80% of patients and this had a major clinical impact, as it resulted in treatment change in more than 70% of patients as well as a significant decrease in PSA levels in more than 60% of them.

Abstract: International audience; Pesticide transfers and fate are highly influenced by the presence of discontinuities such as grass strips, slopes, hedgerows or roads that can accelerate or slow down and dissipate water and contaminant fluxes. That is why those landscape elements must be integrated into watershed management plans. It implies taking them into account when modeling water and contaminant fluxes at the small catchment scale. However, if the influence of landscape elements has already been widely explored at field scale, models generally do not reach the catchment scale. The project PESHMELBA aims at developing a new modeling tool of water and contaminants circulation and fate at the scale of small catchments in order to optimize landscape organization. The model explicitly takes into account spatial organization of landscape by representing existing elements, their locations and shapes. The final aim of this modeling tool is to efficiently test and rank different development scenarios in order to assess the influence of agricultural practices, land uses and landscape management strategies on water quality. In PESHMELBA, dominating processes ruling water and contaminants circulation and dissipation for each element type are mainly represented by existing and validated models. New components have also been developed when no suitable model was found in the literature. All these models present different levels of conceptualization and are used as modeling units ensuring a modular structure. Then, the different units are gathered and connected in the OpenPALM coupler (Fouilloux and Piacentini, 1999) in order to implement the spatial and temporal couplings. This innovative approach leads to a spatialized model of the whole catchment. Applications cases are tested with an increasing complexity, from a case with two plots to the hillslope scale with several plots, ditches and rivers. They show that PESHMELBA is a promising tool to compare scenarios considering water and pesticide fate in different complex landscapes.

Abstract: For Gaia DR2 (GDR2), 280 million spectra, collected by the RVS instrument on-board Gaia, were processed and median radial velocities were derived for 9.8 million sources brighter than Grvs = 12 mag. This paper describes the validation and properties of the median radial velocities published in GDR2. Quality tests and filters are applied to select, from the 9.8 million radial velocities, those with the quality to be published in GDR2. The accuracy of the selected sample is assessed with respect to ground-based catalogues. Its precision is estimated using both ground-based catalogues and the distribution of the Gaia radial velocity uncertainties. GDR2 contains median radial velocities for 7 224 631 stars, with Teff in the range [3550, 6900] K, which passed succesfully the quality tests. The published median radial velocities provide a full sky-coverage and have a completness with respect to the astrometric data of 77.2\% (for $G \leq 12.5$ mag). The median radial velocity residuals with respect to the ground-based surveys vary from one catalogue to another, but do not exceed a few 100s m/s. In addition, the Gaia radial velocities show a positive trend as a function of magnitude, which starts around Grvs $\sim 9$ mag and reaches about $+500$ m/s at Grvs $= 11.75$ mag. The overall precision, estimated from the median of the Gaia radial velocity uncertainties, is 1.05 km/s. The radial velocity precision is function of many parameters, in particular the magnitude and effective temperature. For bright stars, Grvs in [4, 8] mag, the precision is in the range 200-350 m/s, which is about 3 to 5 times more precise than the pre-launch specification of 1 km/s. At the faint end, Grvs = 11.75 mag, the precisions for Teff = 5000 K and 6500 K are respectively 1.4 km/s and 3.7 km/s., Comment: Submitted to A&A

Abstract: Asteroseismology offers the possibility of probing stellar interiors and testing evolutionary and seismic models. Precise photometry and spectroscopy obtained during multi-site campaigns on young open clusters allows discovering rich samples of pulsating stars and using them in a simultaneous seismic modelling called ensemble asteroseismology. The aim of this study is to obtain the age of the open cluster NGC 6910 by means of ensemble asteroseismology of the early-type pulsating members, to derive their stellar parameters, and to classify the excited modes. We used time-series analysis, performed photometric and spectroscopic mode identification, and calculated grids of evolutionary and seismic models to apply the procedure of ensemble asteroseismology for nine pulsating members of NGC 6910. With two iterations of the procedure of ensemble asteroseismology applied to nine pulsating stars we derived an age of 10.6$^{+0.9}_{-0.8}$ Myr for NGC 6910. Of the nine pulsating stars examined in the paper, eight are $\beta$ Cep stars, including three that are hybrid $\beta$ Cep and slowly pulsating B-type (SPB) pulsators, and one is an SPB star. Interestingly, the least massive $\beta$ Cep star, NGC 6910-38, has a mass of about 5.6 M$_\odot$. The present theory does not predict unstable $p$ modes in B-type stars with such a low mass. The $g$ modes with relatively high frequencies ($>3.5$ d$^{-1}$), observed in three members of the cluster, are also stable according to seismic modelling. Both findings pose a challenge for theoretical calculations and prompt a revision of the opacities. The procedure of ensemble asteroseismology was found to be successful for NGC 6910 and $\chi$ Per on the basis of pulsating B-type stars and can therefore be applied to other young open clusters that are rich in such stars., Comment: 22 pages, 24 figures.

Abstract: Context. Long-lived radioactive nuclides, such as 40K, 232Th, 235U, and 238U, contribute to persistent heat production in the mantle of terrestrial-type planets. As refractory elements, the concentrations of Th and U in a terrestrial exoplanet are implicitly reflected in the photospheric abundances of the stellar host. However, a robust determination of these stellar abundances is difficult in practice owing to the general paucity and weakness of the relevant spectral features. Aims. We draw attention to the refractory, r-process element europium, which may be used as a convenient and practical proxy for the population analysis of radiogenic heating in exoplanetary systems. Methods. As a case study, we present a determination of Eu abundances in the photospheres of α Cen A and B with high-resolution HARPS spectra and a strict line-by-line differential analysis. To first order, the measured Eu abundances can be converted into the abundances of 232Th, 235U, and 238U with observational constraints, while the abundance of 40K is approximated independently with a Galactic chemical evolution model. Results. Our determination shows that europium is depleted with respect to iron by ~0.1 dex and to silicon by ~0.15 dex compared to solar in the two binary components. The loci of α Cen AB at the low-ends of both [Eu/Fe] and [Eu/Si] distributions of a large sample of FGK stars further suggest significantly lower potential of radiogenic heat production in any putative terrestrial-like planet (i.e. α-Cen-Earth) in this system compared to that in rocky planets (including our own Earth) that formed around the majority of these Sun-like stars. Based on our calculations of the radionuclide concentrations in the mantle and assuming the mantle mass to be the same as that of our Earth, we find that the radiogenic heat budget in an α-Cen-Earth is 73.4−6.9+8.3 TW upon its formation and 8.8−1.3+1.7 TW at the present day, which is 23 ± 5% and 54 ± 5% lower than that in the Hadean Earth (94.9 ± 5.5 TW) and in the modern Earth (19.0 ± 1.1 TW), respectively. Conclusions. As a consequence, mantle convection in an α-Cen-Earth is expected to be overall weaker than that of Earth (assuming other conditions are the same), and thus such a planet would be less geologically active, suppressing its long-term potential to recycle its crust and volatiles. With Eu abundances being available for a large sample of Sun-like stars, the proposed approach can extend our ability to predict the nature of other rocky worlds that can be tested by future observations.

Abstract: National audience; La contamination des eaux de surface dans les petits bassins agricoles en France menace l'équilibre de la faune et la flore aquatique. C'est pourquoi, outre la limitation de l'usage de pesticides, la réduction des transferts de pesticides depuis la parcelle où ils sont appliqués jusqu'à la rivière fait partie des niveaux d'action à mettre en avant. Cependant ces transferts dépendent de très nombreux paramètres : le climat, le type de sol, les pratiques agricoles, l'organisation du paysage... Dans l'objectif de proposer une meilleure organisation du bassin versant notamment par la mise en place de solutions correctives de type zones tampons, la modélisation est un outil pertinent, car elle permet de tester et comparer différents scénarios d'aménagement à moindre coût. Ce type d'outil faciliterait largement les échanges avec les acteurs de terrain pour la mise en place de plans d'action pertinents et notamment l'implantation de zones tampons à l'échelle du bassin versant, en montrant leurs effets sur les transferts. Il existe déjà des modèles de devenir des pesticides à l'échelle de la parcelle, à base empirique ou physique, mais lorsque l'on passe à l'échelle du bassin versant, les modèles ne permettent en général pas de représenter l'influence des éléments du paysage tels que les bandes enherbées, les fossés et tout autre élément du bocage. Or de telles discontinuités influent fortement les chemins de l'eau et par conséquent les transferts de pesticides. Les bandes enherbées contribuent par exemple à diminuer le ruissellement et à augmenter l'infiltration, ralentissant et atténuant ainsi les transferts de solutés vers les cours d'eau. Au contraire, d'autres discontinuités (fossés, route) peuvent accélérer de tels transferts. L'objectif du projet PESHMELBA (PESticides et Hydrologie : Modélisation à l'EcheLle du BAssin versant) est de développer un modèle distribué du transfert de l'eau et du devenir des pesticides qui prend en compte explicitement l'organisation spatiale du paysage. Grâce à sa structure modulaire, le modèle permet d'inclure, de supprimer ou de modifier facilement des éléments du paysage. À terme, PESHMELBA pourra ainsi constituer un outil exploratoire visant à optimiser l'aménagement du territoire pour permettre une meilleure gestion des ressources en eau, notamment dans un contexte de changement climatique. Actuellement en cours de développement à Irstea Lyon, PESHMELBA représente les parcelles d'un bassin versant, ainsi que les rivières, fossés et bandes enherbées, et leurs échanges en surface et en subsurface. Les premiers tests menés sur un versant inspiré du bassin de la Fontaine du Theil (France) s'avèrent prometteurs pour représenter le devenir des pesticides dans des paysages agricoles complexes.

Abstract: Aims. We report 20 new lithium-rich giants discovered within the Gaia-ESO Survey, including the first Li-rich giant with an evolutionary stage confirmed by CoRoT (Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits) data. We present a detailed overview of the properties of these 20 stars., Methods. Atmospheric parameters and abundances were derived in model atmosphere analyses using medium-resolution GIRAFFE or high-resolution UVES (Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph) spectra. These results are part of the fifth internal data release of the Gaia-ESO Survey. The Li abundances were corrected for non-local thermodynamical equilibrium effects. Other stellar properties were investigated for additional peculiarities (the core of strong lines for signs of magnetic activity, infrared magnitudes, rotational velocities, chemical abundances, and Galactic velocities). We used Gaia DR2 parallaxes to estimate distances and luminosities., Results. The giants have A(Li) > 2.2 dex. The majority of them (14 of 20 stars) are in the CoRoT fields. Four giants are located in the field of three open clusters, but are not members. Two giants were observed in fields towards the Galactic bulge, but likely lie in the inner disc. One of the bulge field giants is super Li-rich with A(Li) = 4.0 dex., Conclusions. We identified one giant with infrared excess at 22 mu m. Two other giants, with large v sin i, might be Li-rich because of planet engulfment. Another giant is found to be barium enhanced and thus could have accreted material from a former asymptotic giant branch companion. Otherwise, in addition to the Li enrichment, the evolutionary stages are the only other connection between these new Li-rich giants. The CoRoT data confirm that one Li-rich giant is at the core-He burning stage. The other giants are concentrated in close proximity to the red giant branch luminosity bump, the core-He burning stages, or the early-asymptotic giant branch. This is very clear from the Gaia-based luminosities of the Li-rich giants. This is also seen when the CoRoT Li-rich giants are compared to a larger sample of 2252 giants observed in the CoRoT fields by the Gaia-ESO Survey, which are distributed throughout the red giant branch in the T-eff-log g diagram. These observations show that the evolutionary stage is a major factor for the Li enrichment in giants. Other processes, such as planet accretion, contribute at a smaller scale.

Abstract: International audience; Pesticide transfers are highly influenced by the presence of discontinuities that can accelerate or slow down and dissipate water and contaminant flows, such as grass strips, slopes, hedgerows or roads. It is thus necessary to take into account landscape features when modelling water and contaminant transfers at the small catchment scale.

Abstract: International audience; Pesticide transfers are highly influenced by the presence of discontinuities that can accelerate or slow down and dissipate water and contaminant flows, such as grass strips, slopes, hedgerows or roads. Those landscape features must thus, be integrated into watershed management plans which implies to take them into account when modeling water and contaminant at the small catchment scale. However, if influence of landscape elements has already been widely explored at field scale, models generally don't reach the catchment scale. The project PESHMELBA aims at developing a modeling tool of water and contaminants circulation and fate at the scale of small catchments in order to optimize landscape organisation. The model explicitly takes into account spatial organization of landscapes by representing the existing features, their space location and shape. Dominating processes ruling water and contaminants circulation for each element type are mainly represented by existing and validated models. Those models present different levels of conceptualization and are used as modeling units ensuring a modular structure. In order to implement the spatial and temporal couplings, the different units are gathered and connected in the OpenPALM coupler (Fouilloux and Piacentini, 1999). This innovative approach allows to obtain a spatialized model of the whole catchment. A special attention is paid to design a mesh representative of the landscape configuration. Soil types and land uses are overlayed to deduce surface homogeneous units. Linear elements (ditches, slopes, hedgerow,. . . ) are also included in the mesh. In addition to shaping the area of application of each modeling unit, this method also aims to define connectivity between landscape elements. Preliminary results were achieved by considering a hillslope with several plots and ditches. They showed this method is promising to represent water and pesticides fate in complex landscapes and to test different development scenarios in order to assess the influence of agricultural/landscape management practices on water quality.

Abstract: The Gaia Data Release 2 contains the 1st release of radial velocities complementing the kinematic data of a sample of about 7 million relatively bright, late-type stars. Aims: This paper provides a detailed description of the Gaia spectroscopic data processing pipeline, and of the approach adopted to derive the radial velocities presented in DR2. Methods: The pipeline must perform four main tasks: (i) clean and reduce the spectra observed with the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS); (ii) calibrate the RVS instrument, including wavelength, straylight, line-spread function, bias non-uniformity, and photometric zeropoint; (iii) extract the radial velocities; and (iv) verify the accuracy and precision of the results. The radial velocity of a star is obtained through a fit of the RVS spectrum relative to an appropriate synthetic template spectrum. An additional task of the spectroscopic pipeline was to provide 1st-order estimates of the stellar atmospheric parameters required to select such template spectra. We describe the pipeline features and present the detailed calibration algorithms and software solutions we used to produce the radial velocities published in DR2. Results: The spectroscopic processing pipeline produced median radial velocities for Gaia stars with narrow-band near-IR magnitude Grvs < 12 (i.e. brighter than V~13). Stars identified as double-lined spectroscopic binaries were removed from the pipeline, while variable stars, single-lined, and non-detected double-lined spectroscopic binaries were treated as single stars. The scatter in radial velocity among different observations of a same star, also published in DR2, provides information about radial velocity variability. For the hottest (Teff > 7000 K) and coolest (Teff < 3500 K) stars, the accuracy and precision of the stellar parameter estimates are not sufficient to allow selection of appropriate templates.

Abstract: Aims. Past observations of fast-rotating massive stars exhibiting normal nitrogen abundances at their surface have raised questions about the rotational mixing paradigm. We revisit this question thanks to a spectroscopic analysis of a sample of bright fast-rotating OB stars, with the goal of quantifying the efficiency of rotational mixing at high rotation rates.Methods. Our sample consists of 40 fast rotators on the main sequence, with spectral types comprised between B0.5 and O4. We compare the abundances of some key element indicators of mixing (He, CNO) with the predictions of evolutionary models for single objects and for stars in interacting binary systems.Results. The properties of half of the sample stars can be reproduced by single evolutionary models, even in the case of probable or confirmed binaries that can therefore be true single stars in a pre-interaction configuration. The main problem for the rest of the sample is a mismatch for the [N/O] abundance ratio (we confirm the existence of fast rotators with a lack of nitrogen enrichment) and/or a high helium abundance that cannot be accounted for by models. Modifying the diffusion coefficient implemented in single-star models does not solve the problem as it cannot simultaneously reproduce the helium abundances and [N/O] abundance ratios of our targets. Since part of them actually are binaries, we also compared their chemical properties with predictions for post-mass transfer systems. We found that these models can explain the abundances measured for a majority of our targets, including some of the most helium-enriched, but fail to reproduce them in other cases. Our study thus reveals that some physical ingredients are still missing in current models.

Abstract: HD 164492C is a spectroscopic triple stellar system that has been recently detected to possess a strong magnetic field. We have obtained high-resolution spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric observations over a timespan of two years and derived physical, chemical, and magnetic properties for this object. The system is formed by an eccentric close spectroscopic binary (Ca1-Ca2) with a period of 12.5 days, and a massive tertiary Cb. We calculated the orbital parameters of the close pair, reconstructed the spectra of the three components, and determined atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances by spectral synthesis. From spectropolarimetric observations, multi-epoch measurements of the longitudinal magnetic fields were obtained. The magnetic field is strongly variable on timescales of a few days, with a most probable period in the range of 1.4-1.6 days. Star Cb with Teff~25000 K is the apparently fastest rotator and the most massive star of this triple system and has anomalous chemical abundances with a marked overabundance of helium, 0.35+/-0.04 by number. We identified this star as being responsible for the observed magnetic field, although the presence of magnetic fields in the components of the Ca pair cannot be excluded. Star Ca1 with a temperature of about 24000 K presents a normal chemical pattern, while the least massive star Ca2 is a mid-B type star (Teff~15000 K) with an overabundance of silicon. The obtained stellar parameters of the system components suggest a distance of 1.5 kpc and an age of 10-15 Myr., Comment: 15 pages, 5 tables, 12 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract: Oe stars possibly form an extension to higher temperatures of the Be phenomenon, but it is still unclear whether these stars have disks. X-ray spectra could provide hints for interactions of the star with a putative surrounding disk. We obtained XMM-Newton observations of two Oe stars, HD45314 and HD60848. Spectra and light curves were extracted and analysed. Optical spectra were also obtained to support the X-ray observations. We find that both stars display very different X-ray properties. Whilst HD60848 has an X-ray spectrum and emission level typical for its spectral type, HD45314 displays a very hard X-ray emission, dominated by a thermal plasma with kT ~ 21 keV. Furthermore, HD45314 displays count rate variations by a factor 2 on timescales of ~ 1000s and a high log(L_X/L_bol) = -6.10 +/- 0.03. The X-ray properties of HD45314 indicate that this star is a new member of the class of gamma Cas analogs, the first one among the original category of Oe stars.

Abstract: International audience; The AquiFR project aims at taking benefits of existing groundwater modeling applications used bystakeholders to develop new products in order to provide useful information for water resourcesmanagement. Indeed, it aims at providing forecasts of the groundwater resources at10 days aheadupto seasonal scale. In its present form, the AquiFR system includes 3 hydrogeological modelscovering 8 multilayers sedimentary aquifers and 10 karstic aquifers. These applications wereassembled within a coupling system facilitating the parallel computation and coupled to a land surfacemodel used in the French numerical weather model that provides the recharge. The whole system isexpected to run operationally at Meteo France. To do so, a real time application will be run daily forcedby an analysis of the observed atmospheric conditions. This real time simulation will then be able toprovide initial conditions for the forecasts. Ensemble 10-day forecast will then be run daily, andseasonal forecasts will be run monthly. The monitoring and the forecasts could be compared to thelong term reanalysis of the groundwater that is being built by using an atmospheric reanalysis.

Abstract: We report the discovery of the first hyperluminous infrared galaxy (HyLIG) in the course of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). This object has been detected by ISO at 6.7, 15, and 90 microns, and is found to be a broad-line, radio-quiet quasar at a redshift: z = 1.099. From a detailed multi-component model fit of the spectral energy distribution, we derive a total infrared luminosity: L_IR (1-1000 microns) ~ 1.0 x 10E13 h_65^-2 L_sun (q_0 = 0.5), and discuss the possible existence of a starburst contributing to the far-IR output. Observations to date present no evidence for lens magnification. This galaxy is one of the very few HyLIGs with an X-ray detection. On the basis of its soft X-ray properties, we suggest that this broad-line object may be the face-on analogue of narrow-line, Seyfert-like HyLIGs., 6 pages, 4 figures; accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract: The Gaia-ESO Survey is obtaining high-quality spectroscopic data for about 10^5 stars using FLAMES at the VLT. UVES high-resolution spectra are being collected for about 5000 FGK-type stars. These UVES spectra are analyzed in parallel by several state-of-the-art methodologies. Our aim is to present how these analyses were implemented, to discuss their results, and to describe how a final recommended parameter scale is defined. We also discuss the precision (method-to-method dispersion) and accuracy (biases with respect to the reference values) of the final parameters. These results are part of the Gaia-ESO 2nd internal release and will be part of its 1st public release of advanced data products. The final parameter scale is tied to the one defined by the Gaia benchmark stars, a set of stars with fundamental atmospheric parameters. A set of open and globular clusters is used to evaluate the physical soundness of the results. Each methodology is judged against the benchmark stars to define weights in three different regions of the parameter space. The final recommended results are the weighted-medians of those from the individual methods. The recommended results successfully reproduce the benchmark stars atmospheric parameters and the expected Teff-log g relation of the calibrating clusters. Atmospheric parameters and abundances have been determined for 1301 FGK-type stars observed with UVES. The median of the method-to-method dispersion of the atmospheric parameters is 55 K for Teff, 0.13 dex for log g, and 0.07 dex for [Fe/H]. Systematic biases are estimated to be between 50-100 K for Teff, 0.10-0.25 dex for log g, and 0.05-0.10 dex for [Fe/H]. Abundances for 24 elements were derived: C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Mo, Ba, Nd, and Eu. The typical method-to-method dispersion of the abundances varies between 0.10 and 0.20 dex., Comment: 39 pages, A&A accepted

Abstract: oral communication, abstractoral communication, abstract; Agriculture is facing to the challenge of maintaining or even increasing production while limiting the use of nitrogen inputs. The introduction of mineral nitrogen in agroecosystems feeds a cascade of processes and losses to the environment at each stage of the cascade with many environmental and societal impacts (degradation of air, water and soil quality, impacts on greenhouse gas balance, biodiversity and human health…). Since classical approaches at plot or farm scale do not make possible to control all impacts, levers must also be sought at larger scales. The overall objective of the interdisciplinary project ESCAPADE (ANR-12-AGRO-0003, 2013-2017) is to build and assess innovative solutions to reduce nitrogen losses in the environment or adapt production systems. It aims at understanding and hierarchizing the processes involved in the nitrogen cascade and nitrogen losses to the environment, as well as integrating them by taking into account spatial and temporal interactions within landscape mosaics. The project mainly focuses on rural sites from a few km2 to a few tens of km2 and also on larger territories from hundreds to thousands of km2. Modelling approaches are associated with inventories and observations to quantify flows of different forms of reactive nitrogen (NO3-, NH3, NOx, N2O…). Agro-environmental scenarios of nitrogen and landscape management in sites and larger territories are co-constructed and assessed from models. Results produced from the models, the observations and inventories, as well as from the scenarios will be used to propose innovative strategies to mitigate nitrogen losses and adapt production systems to the new agricultural contexts.

Abstract: Stellar evolution models predict that internal mixing should cause some sodium overabundance at the surface of red giants more massive than ~ 1.5--2.0 Msun. The surface aluminium abundance should not be affected. Nevertheless, observational results disagree about the presence and/or the degree of the Na and Al overabundances. In addition, Galactic chemical evolution models adopting different stellar yields lead to quite different predictions for the behavior of [Na/Fe] and [Al/Fe] versus [Fe/H]. Overall, the observed trends of these abundances with metallicity are not well reproduced. We readdress both issues, using new Na and Al abundances determined within the Gaia-ESO Survey, using two samples: i) more than 600 dwarfs of the solar neighborhood and of open clusters and ii) low- and intermediate-mass clump giants in six open clusters. Abundances of Na in giants with mass below ~2.0 Msun, and of Al in giants below ~3.0 Msun, seem to be unaffected by internal mixing processes. For more massive giants, the Na overabundance increases with stellar mass. This trend agrees well with predictions of stellar evolutionary models. Chemical evolution models that are able to fit well the observed [Na/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] trend in solar neighborhood dwarfs can not simultaneously explain the run of [Al/Fe] with [Fe/H], and viceversa. The comparison with stellar ages is hampered by severe uncertainties. Indeed, reliable age estimates are available for only a half of the stars of the sample. We conclude that Al is underproduced by the models, except for stellar ages younger than about 7 Gyr. In addition, some significant source of late Na production seems to be missing in the models. Either current Na and Al yields are affected by large uncertainties, and/or some important Galactic source(s) of these elements has not been taken into account up to now.

Abstract: A significant fraction of massive main-sequence stars show strong, large-scale magnetic fields. The origin of these fields, their lifetimes, and their role in shaping the characteristics and evolution of massive stars are currently not well understood. We compile a catalogue of 389 massive main-sequence stars, 61 of which are magnetic, and derive their fundamental parameters and ages. The two samples contain stars brighter than magnitude 9 in the V band and range in mass between 5 and 100 Msun. We find that the fractional main-sequence age distribution of all considered stars follows what is expected for a magnitude limited sample, while that of magnetic stars shows a clear decrease towards the end of the main sequence. This dearth of old magnetic stars is independent of the choice of adopted stellar evolution tracks, and appears to become more prominent when considering only the most massive stars. We show that the decreasing trend in the distribution is significantly stronger than expected from magnetic flux conservation. We also find that binary rejuvenation and magnetic suppression of core convection are unlikely to be responsible for the observed lack of older magnetic massive stars, and conclude that its most probable cause is the decay of the magnetic field, over a time span longer than the stellar lifetime for the lowest considered masses, and shorter for the highest masses. We then investigate the spin-down ages of the slowly rotating magnetic massive stars and find them to exceed the stellar ages by far in many cases. The high fraction of very slowly rotating magnetic stars thus provides an independent argument for a decay of the magnetic fields., Comment: Accepted for publication on A&A; 9 pages, 8 figures

Abstract: Delgado, Antonio J. et. al., The young open cluster NGC3293 is included in the observing program of the Gaia-ESO survey (GES). The radial velocity values provided have been used to assign cluster membership probabilities by means of a single-variable parametric analysis. These membership probabilities are compared to the results of the photometric membership assignment of NGC3293, based on UBVRI photometry. The agreement of the photometric and kinematic member samples amounts to 65 per cent, and could increase to 70 per cent as suggested by the analysis of the differences between both samples. A number of photometric PMS candidate members of spectral type F are found, which are confirmed by the results from VPHAS photometry and SED fitting for the stars in common with VPHAS and GES data sets. Excesses at mid- and near-infrared wavelengths, and signs of H alpha emission, are investigated for them. Marginal presence of H alpha emission or infilling is detected for the candidate members. Several of them exhibit moderate signs of U excess and weak excesses at mid-IR wavelengths. We suggest that these features originate from accretion discs in their last stages of evolution., This work was partly supported by the European Union FP7 programme through ERC grant number 320360 and by the Leverhulme Trust through grant RPG-2012-541.

Abstract: The discovery of lithium-rich giants contradicts expectations from canonical stellar evolution. Here we report on the serendipitous discovery of 20 Li-rich giants observed during the Gaia-ESO Survey, which includes the first nine Li-rich giant stars known towards the CoRoT fields. Most of our Li-rich giants have near-solar metallicities, and stellar parameters consistent with being before the luminosity bump. This is difficult to reconcile with deep mixing models proposed to explain lithium enrichment, because these models can only operate at later evolutionary stages: at or past the luminosity bump. In an effort to shed light on the Li-rich phenomenon, we highlight recent evidence of the tidal destruction of close-in hot Jupiters at the sub-giant phase. We note that when coupled with models of planet accretion, the observed destruction of hot Jupiters actually predicts the existence of Li-rich giant stars, and suggests Li-rich stars should be found early on the giant branch and occur more frequently with increasing metallicity. A comprehensive review of all known Li-rich giant stars reveals that this scenario is consistent with the data. However more evolved or metal-poor stars are less likely to host close-in giant planets, implying that their Li-rich origin requires an alternative explanation, likely related to mixing scenarios rather than external phenomena., This work is based on data products from observations made with ESO Telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under programme ID 188.B-3002.

39. Testing the effects of opacity and the chemical mixture on the excitation of pulsations in B stars of the Magellanic Clouds

Abstract: The B-type pulsators known as \beta Cephei and Slowly Pulsating B (SPB) stars present pulsations driven by the \kappa mechanism, which operates thanks to an opacity bump due to the iron group elements. In low-metallicity environments such as the Magellanic Clouds, \beta Cep and SPB pulsations are not expected. Nevertheless, recent observations show evidence for the presence of B-type pulsator candidates in both galaxies. We seek an explanation for the excitation of \beta Cep and SPB modes in those galaxies by examining basic input physics in stellar modelling: i) the specific metal mixture of B-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds; ii) the role of a potential underestimation of stellar opacities. We first derive the present-day chemical mixtures of B-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds. Then, we compute stellar models for that metal mixture and perform a non-adiabatic analysis of these models. In a second approach, we simulate parametric enhancements of stellar opacities due to different iron group elements. We then study their effects in models of B stars and their stability. We find that adopting a representative chemical mixture of B stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud cannot explain the presence of B-type pulsators there. An increase of the opacity in the region of the iron-group bump could drive B-type pulsations, but only if this increase occurs at the temperature corresponding to the maximum contribution of Ni to this opacity bump. We recommend an accurate computation of Ni opacity to understand B-type pulsators in the Small Magellanic Cloud, as well as the frequency domain observed in some Galactic hybrid \beta Cep-SPB stars.

41. Assessing the accuracy of the surface gravity determination in late-type stars with solar-like pulsators

Abstract: The frequency of maximum oscillation power measured in dwarfs and giants exhibiting solar-like pulsations provides a precise, and potentially accurate, inference of the stellar surface gravity. An extensive comparison for about 40 well-studied pulsating stars with gravities derived using classical methods (ionization balance, pressure-sensitive spectral features or location with respect to evolutionary tracks) supports the validity of this technique and reveals an overall remarkable agreement with mean differences not exceeding 0.05 dex (although with a dispersion of up to ∼0.2 dex). It is argued that interpolation in theoretical isochrones may be the most precise way of estimating the gravity by traditional means in nearby dwarfs. Attention is drawn to the usefulness of seismic targets as benchmarks in the context of large-scale surveys.

43. The chemical composition of α Centauri AB revisited

Abstract: The two solar-like stars α Cen A and B have long served as cornerstones for stellar physics in virtue of their immediate proximity, association in a visual binary, and masses that bracket that of the Sun. The recent detection of a terrestrial planet in the cool, suspected tertiary Proxima Cen now makes the system also of prime interest in the context of planetary studies. It is therefore of fundamental importance to tightly constrain the properties of the individual stellar components. We present a fully self-consistent, line-by-line differential abundance analysis of α Cen AB based on high-quality HARPS data. Various line lists are used and analysis strategies implemented to improve the reliability of the results. Abundances of 21 species with a typical precision of 0.02–0.03 dex are reported. We find that the chemical composition of the two stars is not scaled solar (e.g. Na and Ni excess, depletion of neutron-capture elements), but that their patterns are strikingly similar, with a mean abundance difference (A – B) with respect to hydrogen of –0.01 ± 0.04 dex. Much of the scatter may be ascribed to physical effects that are not fully removed through a differential analysis because of the mismatch in parameters between the two components. We derive an age for the system from abundance indicators (e.g. [Y/Mg] and [Y/Al]) that is slightly larger than solar and in agreement with most asteroseismic results. Assuming coeval formation for the three components belonging to the system, this implies an age of about ~6 Gyrs for the M dwarf hosting the terrestrial planet Proxima Cen b. After correction for Galactic chemical evolution effects, we find a trend between the abundance ratios and condensation temperature in α Cen A akin to that of the Sun. However, taking this finding as evidence for the sequestration of rocky material locked up in planets may be premature given that a clear link between the two phenomena remains to be established. The similarity between the abundance pattern of the binary components argues against the swallowing of a massive planet by one of the stars after the convective zones have shrunk to their present-day sizes.

44. Alkoxysilane Layers Compatible with Copper Deposition for Advanced Semiconductor Device Applications

Abstract: Alkoxysilane having various functional headgroups (amino and mercapto) and morphologies was deposited by supercritical CO(2) onto a porous dielectric material to replace the metallic barrier used in semiconductor devices. These organic layers were successfully coated with Cu. The morphologies of the stacks were investigated by X-ray and neutron reflectometry and atomic force microscopy. Whereas PVD Cu deposition is not adapted to silanized dielectric material with mercapto and aminopropyltrimethoxysilane but acceptable with aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, the MOCVD process is more interesting. XRR and NR data clearly indicate that silane layers remain intact after copper deposition and, depending on the Cu immobilization capability of the chemical function of the silane and its orientation into the layer, the Cu film morphologies are different. Dense, thin films having small Cu grains were obtained with an aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane layer, and thick films having a low density and large Cu grains were obtained with an aminopropyltrimethoxysilane layer. Nucleation and growth mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract: We present the results of the continuation of our magnetic survey with FORS1 at the VLT of a sample of B-type stars consisting of confirmed or candidate beta Cephei stars and Slowly Pulsating B (hereafter SPB) stars, along with a small number of normal B-type stars. A weak mean longitudinal magnetic field of the order of a few hundred Gauss was detected in three beta Cephei stars and two stars suspected to be beta Cephei stars, in five SPB stars and eight stars suspected to be SPB stars. Additionally, a longitudinal magnetic field at a level larger than 3sigma has been diagnosed in two normal B-type stars, the nitrogen-rich early B-type star HD52089 and in the B5 IV star HD153716. Roughly one third of beta Cephei stars have detected magnetic fields: Out of 13 beta Cephei stars studied to date with FORS1, four stars possess weak magnetic fields, and out of the sample of six suspected beta Cephei stars two show a weak magnetic field. The fraction of magnetic SPBs and candidate SPBs is found to be higher: roughly half of the 34 SPB stars have been found to be magnetic and among the 16 candidate SPBs eight stars possess magnetic fields. In an attempt to understand why only a fraction of pulsating stars exhibit magnetic fields, we studied the position of magnetic and non-magnetic pulsating stars in the H-R diagram. We find that their domains in the H-R diagram largely overlap, and no clear picture emerges as to the possible evolution of the magnetic field across the main sequence. It is possible that stronger fields tend to be found in stars with lower pulsating frequencies and smaller pulsating amplitudes. A somewhat similar trend is found if we consider a correlation between the field strength and the v sin i-values, i.e. stronger magnetic fields tend to be found in more slowly rotating stars., 13 pages, 10 figures, 4 tables, accepted for publication in Astronomische Nachrichten

Abstract: The current state of the art in computational fluid dynamics provides reasonable reacting-flow predictions and is already used in industry to evaluate new concepts of gas turbine engines. In parallel, optimization techniques have reached maturity and several industrial activities benefit from enhanced search algorithms. However, coupling a physical computational fluid dynamics model with an optimization algorithm to yield a decision-making tool needs to be undertaken with care to take advantage of the current computing power while satisfying the gas turbine industrial constraints. Among the many delicate issues for such tools to contribute efficiently to the gas turbine industry, combustion is probably the most challenging, and optimization algorithms are not easily applicable to such problems. In our study, a fully encapsulated algorithm addresses the issue by making use of a new multiobjective optimization strategy based on an iteratively enhanced metamodel (kriging) coupled to a design-of-experiments method and a fully parallel three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics solver to model turbulent reacting flows. With this approach, the computer cost needed for thousands of computational fluid dynamics computations is greatly reduced while ensuring an automatic error reduction of the approximated response function. Preliminary assessments of the search algorithm against simple analytical test functions prove the strategy to be efficient and robust. Application to a three-dimensional industrial aeronautical combustion chamber demonstrates the approach to be feasible with currently available computing power. One result of the optimization is that possible design changes can improve performance and durability of the studied engine. With the advent of massively parallel architectures, the intersection between these two advanced techniques seems a logical path to yield fully automated decision-making tools for the design of gas turbine engines.

Abstract: We acquired high resolution spectroscopic and low resolution spectropolarimetric observations to achieve the following goals: a) to improve the orbital parameters to allow a more in-depth discussion on the possibility of mass transfer in the binary system, b) to carry out a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) abundance analysis, and c) to search for the presence of a magnetic field. The study of the radial velocities using CORALIE spectra allowed us to significantly improve the orbital parameters. A comparative NLTE abundance analysis was undertaken for theta Car and two other early B-type stars with recently detected magnetic fields, tau Sco and xi^1 CMa. The analysis revealed significantly different abundance patterns: a one-order-of-magnitude nitrogen overabundance and carbon depletion was found in theta Car, while the oxygen abundance is roughly solar. For the stars xi^1 CMa and tau Sco the carbon abundance is solar and, while an N excess is also detected, it is of much smaller amplitude (0.4-0.6dex). Such an N overabundance is typical of the values already found for other slowly-rotating (magnetic) B-type dwarfs. For theta Car, we attribute instead the chemical peculiarities to a past episode of mass transfer between the two binary components. The results of the search for a magnetic field using FORS1 at the VLT consisting of 26 measurements over a time span of ~1.2h are rather inconclusive: only few measurements have a significance level of 3sigma. Although we detect a periodicity of the order of ~8.8min in the dataset involving the measurements on all hydrogen Balmer lines with the exception of the Halpha and Hbeta lines, these results have to be confirmed by additional time-resolved magnetic field observations., 10 pages, 9 figures, 6 tables, accepted for publication in A&A

Abstract: Context. The availability of asteroseismic constraints for a large sample of red giant stars from the CoRoT and Kepler missions paves the way for various statistical studies of the seismic properties of stellar populations. Aims. We use the first detailed spectroscopic study of 19 CoRoT red-giant stars (Morel et al 2014) to compare theoretical stellar evolution models to observations of the open cluster NGC 6633 and field stars. Methods. In order to explore the effects of rotation-induced mixing and thermohaline instability, we compare surface abundances of carbon isotopic ratio and lithium with stellar evolution predictions. These chemicals are sensitive to extra-mixing on the red-giant branch. Results. We estimate mass, radius, and distance for each star using the seismic constraints. We note that the Hipparcos and seismic distances are different. However, the uncertainties are such that this may not be significant. Although the seismic distances for the cluster members are self consistent they are somewhat larger than the Hipparcos distance. This is an issue that should be considered elsewhere. Models including thermohaline instability and rotation-induced mixing, together with the seismically determined masses can explain the chemical properties of red-giants targets. However, with this sample of stars we cannot perform stringent tests of the current stellar models. Tighter constraints on the physics of the models would require the measurement of the core and surface rotation rates, and of the period spacing of gravity-dominated mixed modes. A larger number of stars with longer times series, as provided by Kepler or expected with Plato, would help for ensemble asteroseismology., Accepted 03/05/2015

Abstract: The Oe stars HD45314 and HD60848 have recently been found to exhibit very different X-ray properties: whilst HD60848 has an X-ray spectrum and emission level typical of most OB stars, HD45314 features a much harder and brighter X-ray emission, making it a so-called gamma Cas analogue. Monitoring the optical spectra could provide hints towards the origin of these very different behaviours. We analyse a large set of spectroscopic observations of HD45314 and HD60848, extending over 20 years. We further attempt to fit the H-alpha line profiles of both stars with a simple model of emission line formation in a Keplerian disk. Strong variations in the strengths of the H-alpha, H-beta, and He I 5876 emission lines are observed for both stars. In the case of HD60848, we find a time lag between the variations in the equivalent widths of these lines. The emission lines are double peaked with nearly identical strengths of the violet and red peaks. The H-alpha profile of this star can be successfully reproduced by our model of a disk seen under an inclination of 30 degrees. In the case of HD45314, the emission lines are highly asymmetric and display strong line profile variations. We find a major change in behaviour between the 2002 outburst and the one observed in 2013. This concerns both the relationship between the equivalent widths of the various lines and their morphologies at maximum strength (double-peaked in 2002 versus single-peaked in 2013). Our simple disk model fails to reproduce the observed H-alpha line profiles of HD45314. Our results further support the interpretation that Oe stars do have decretion disks similar to those of Be stars. Whilst the emission lines of HD60848 are explained by a disk with a Keplerian velocity field, the disk of HD45314 seems to have a significantly more complex velocity field that could be related to the phenomenon that produces its peculiar X-ray emission., Accepted for Publication in A&A
