'Erschienen' is the past participle of the verb 'erscheinen' (to appear / to be published). It is used like an adjective before a noun and must be declined accordingly.
Ich lese gerade den neu erschienenen Roman meiner Lieblingsautorin.
I am currently reading the newly published novel by my favorite author.
The verb 'erscheinen' (to appear / to be published) always forms its past tenses (e.g., the perfect tense) with the auxiliary verb 'sein' (to be), because it describes a change of state or movement. So it is 'ist erschienen' (has appeared / has been published), not 'hat erschienen'.
Das Magazin ist gestern erschienen.
The magazine was published yesterday.
The meaning of 'erschienen' (published / present) depends on the noun. If it refers to a work (book, film), it means 'published' or 'released'. If it refers to people (guests, participants), it means 'present' or 'in attendance'.
Der gerade erschienene Artikel sorgt für Diskussionen.

When it comes to publications, 'erschienen' (published / released) is often combined with adverbs such as 'neu' (newly), 'kürzlich' (recently), or 'gerade' (just) to emphasize that the work is current.

out
'raus' and 'erschienen' can both mean that a book, film, song, or other work is now available. However, 'raus' is colloquial and sounds casual, especially in conversation: 'Das neue Album ist raus.' (The new album is out.) 'erschienen' sounds more neutral and precise, especially in texts, news reports, or official information. In everyday language, 'raus' often fits well; for a factual description, 'erschienen' is usually more appropriate.
