Gaia EDR3 confirms that Westerlund 1 is closer and older than previously thought
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Jeremiah W. Murphy, Nathan Smith +6
Using {\it Gaia} Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) parallaxes and Bayesian inference, we infer a parallax of the Westerlund 1 (Wd1) cluster. We find a parallax of mas cor…
The Mass of the Vela Pulsar Progenitor and the Age of the Vela-Puppis Complex
Jeremiah W. Murphy, Andres F. Barrientos, Rene Andrae +4
The association of the Vela Pulsar with the Vela Supernova Remnant has long supported the hypothesis that core-collapse supernovae yield neutron stars, but its surrounding stellar…
The Masses of Supernova Remnant Progenitors in M33
Brad Koplitz, Jared Johnson, Benjamin F. Williams +7
Using resolved optical stellar photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER) survey, we measured the star formation history (SFH)…
Inferring the parallax of Westerlund 1 from Gaia DR2
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Jeremiah W. Murphy, Nathan Smith +6
Westerlund 1 (Wd1) is potentially the largest star cluster in the Galaxy. That designation critically depends upon the distance to the cluster, yet the cluster is highly obscured,…
Quantifying Systematic Age Discrepancies in Very Young Star Clusters
Joseph Guzman, Jeremiah Murphy, Emma Beasor +5
We infer the ages of three young stellar clusters, NGC 2004, NGC 7419, and NGC 2100, using Stellar Ages, a statistical algorithm designed to infer stellar population properties fro…
The Age of the R127 & R128 Clusters: Implications for the LBV
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Jeremiah W. Murphy, Nathan Smith +1
We infer the age of the R127 and R128 clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using Strömgren photometry from the literature and the age-dating algorithm, Stellar Ages. Analy…
