VVV-WIT-12 and its fashionable nebula: a four year long period Young Stellar Object with a light echo?
Roberto K. Saito, Bringfried Stecklum, Dante Minniti +7
We report the serendipitous discovery of VVV-WIT-12, an unusual variable source that seems to induce variability in its surrounding nebula. The source belongs to the rare objects t…
The long-term outburst(s) of GPSV16: from an intermediate to a FUor classification
Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Philip W. Lucas +8
FU Ori outbursts are thought to play a key role in stellar mass assembly and in the chemistry of protoplanetary disks during the early formation of stars. However, uncertainties re…
Gaia24ccy: An outburst followed the footsteps of its predecessor
Koshvendra Singh, Joe P. Ninan, Zhen Guo +25
Accretion-driven outbursts in young stellar objects remain poorly understood, largely limited by a statistically small sample of closely followed-up events. This underscores the im…
Hot water emission during an outburst on a classical T Tauri star
Zhen Guo, Javier Osses, Vitor Fermiano +34
In this paper, we present observations of an eruptive young star in the Rosette Nebula, identified by the Gaia Science Alerts system using Gaia time series data. We aim to investig…
VVV-WIT-13: an eruptive young star with cool molecular features
Zhen Guo, Philip Lucas, Sergey N. Yurchenko +27
Here we investigate an infrared eruptive source, identified from the decade-long VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (VVV). We named this target after a group of variable sour…
The verification of periodicity with the use of recurrent neural networks
Niall Miller, Philip Lucas, Yi Sun +3
The ability to automatically and robustly self-verify periodicity present in time-series astronomical data is becoming more important as data sets rapidly increase in size. The age…
