A Tight Connection between Gamma-Ray Outbursts and Parsec-Scale Jet Activity in the Quasar 3C 454.3
Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher, Paul S. Smith +42
We analyze the multifrequency behavior of the quasar 3C 454.3 during three prominent γ-ray outbursts: 2009 Autumn, 2010 Spring, and 2010 Autumn. The data reveal a repeating patter…
TU Tau B: The Peculiar 'Eclipse' of a possible proto-Barium Giant
Richard O. Gray, Christopher J. Corbally, Michael M. Briley +26
TU Tau (= HD 38218 = HIP 27135) is a binary system consisting of a C-N carbon star primary and an A-type secondary. We report on new photometry and spectroscopy which tracked the r…
HD 5501: A Rapidly Evolving Interacting Eclipsing Binary with a Variable Light Curve and H Emission
Richard O. Gray, Christopher. J. Corbally, Sean Curry +19
HD~5501, a hitherto little studied eclipsing binary with an early A-type primary, has been caught in a short-lived, astrophysically interesting phase of its binary evolution. Recen…
Spectroscopic Analysis of the 2025 Eclipse of the Symbiotic Binary V1413 Aquilae
David Boyd, James Foster, Forrest Sims +12
We report on a coordinated campaign by amateur astronomers using a combination of high and low resolution spectroscopy to observe the 2025 eclipse of the symbiotic binary V1413 Aql…
Combined Spectroscopic and Photometric Analysis of Flares in the Dwarf M Star EV Lacertae
David Boyd, Robert Buchheim, Sean Curry +6
We report results of an observing campaign to study the dwarf M flare star EV Lacertae. Between October 2021 and January 2022 we obtained concurrent B band photometry and low resol…
A Dragon's Flame of Many Colours: Multi-wavelength Observations of Flares from the Active M Binary CR Draconis
James A. G. Jackman, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, R. O. Parke Loyd +9
We present the results of a multi-wavelength Pro-Am campaign to study the behaviour of flares from the active M1.5V star binary CR Draconis. CR Dra was observed with TESS 20-s phot…
