Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of close interactions on star formation in galaxies
L. J. M. Davies, A. S. G. Robotham, S. P. Driver +25
The modification of star formation (SF) in galaxy interactions is a complex process, with SF observed to be both enhanced in major mergers and suppressed in minor pair interactions…
Dark matter halo properties of GAMA galaxy groups from 100 square degrees of KiDS weak lensing data
M. Viola, M. Cacciato, M. Brouwer +24
The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an optical wide-field survey designed to map the matter distribution in the Universe using weak gravitational lensing. In this paper, we use these…
The mass of the Mars-sized exoplanet Kepler-138 b from transit timing
Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Jason F. Rowe, Jack J. Lissauer +2
Extrasolar planets that pass in front of their host star (transit) cause a temporary decrease in the apparent brightness of the star once per orbit, providing a direct measure of t…
Uniform Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs I: Characterizing Benchmarks, Gl570D and HD3651B
Michael R. Line, Johanna Teske, Ben Burningham +2
Interpreting the spectra of brown dwarfs is key to determining the fundamental physical and chemical processes occurring in their atmospheres. Powerful Bayesian atmospheric retriev…
The Mass-Radius Relation of Young Stars, I: UScoCTIO 5, An M4.5 Eclipsing Binary in Upper Scorpius Observed By K2
Adam L. Kraus, Ann Marie Cody, Kevin R. Covey +3
Evolutionary models of pre-main sequence stars remain largely uncalibrated, especially for masses below that of the Sun, making each new dynamical mass and radius measurement a val…
A double white dwarf with a paradoxical origin?
M. C. P. Bours, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gaensicke +14
We present Hubble Space Telescope UV spectra of the 4.6 h period double white dwarf SDSS J125733.63+542850.5. Combined with Sloan Digital Sky Survey optical data, these reveal that…
