Photospheric diagnostics of core helium burning in giant stars

Keith Hawkins, Yuan-Sen Ting, Hans-Walter Rix

Core helium burning primary red clump (RC) stars are evolved red giant stars which are excellent standard candles. As such, these stars are routinely used to map the Milky Way or d…

A dearth of small particles in the transiting material around the white dwarf WD 1145+017

S. Xu, S. Rappaport, R. van Lieshout +35

White dwarf WD 1145+017 is orbited by several clouds of dust, possibly emanating from actively disintegrating bodies. These dust clouds reveal themselves through deep, broad, and e…

The extended Planetary Nebula Spectrograph (ePN.S) early-type galaxy survey. The kinematic diversity of stellar halos and the relation between halo transition scale and stellar mass

C. Pulsoni, O. Gerhard, M. Arnaboldi +14

In the hierarchical two-phase formation scenario, the extended halos of early type galaxies (ETGs) are expected to have different physical properties from those of the galaxies' ce…

The First Comparison Between Swarm-C Accelerometer-Derived Thermospheric Densities and Physical and Empirical Model Estimates

Timothy Kodikara, Brett Carter, Kefei Zhang

The first systematic comparison between Swarm-C accelerometer-derived thermospheric density and both empirical and physics-based model results using multiple model performance metr…

Infrared Selection of Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei in the COSMOS Field

Yu-Yen Chang, Emeric Le Floc'h, Stéphanie Juneau +13

We present a study of the connection between black hole accretion, star formation, and galaxy morphology at z<=2.5. We focus on active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected by their mid-…

The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS)

Peter J. Wheatley, Richard G. West, Michael R. Goad +43

We describe the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), which is a ground-based project searching for transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. NGTS builds on the legacy of previ…
