Reconciling the Galactic Bulge Turnoff Age Discrepancy with Enhanced Helium Enrichment
David M. Nataf, Andrew P. Gould
We show that the factor 2 discrepancy between spectroscopic and photometric age determinations of the Galactic bulge main-sequence turnoff can be naturally explained by posit…
The Very Massive and Hot LMC Star VFTS 682: Progenitor of a Future Dark Gamma-Ray Burst?
Dong Zhang, K. Z. Stanek
VFTS 682, a very massive and very hot Wolf-Rayet (WR) star recently discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud near the famous star cluster R136, might be providing us with a glimpse…
Fermi Detection of a Luminous Gamma-ray Pulsar in a Globular Cluster
The Fermi LAT Collaboration
We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope detection of gamma-ray (>100 megaelectronvolts) pulsations from pulsar J1823-3021A in the globular cluster NGC 6624 with high significance…
The chemical evolution of the Galactic Bulge seen through micro-lensing events
Sofia Feltzing, Thomas Bensby, Jorge Meléndez +6
Galactic bulges are central to understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Here we report on recent studies using micro-lensing events to obtain spectra of high resolution and mo…
Observing a column-dependent zeta in dense interstellar sources: the case of the Horsehead Nebula
P. B. Rimmer, E. Herbst, O. Morata +1
Context: Observations of small carbon-bearing molecules such as CCH, C4H, c-C3H2, and HCO in the Horsehead Nebula have shown these species to have higher abundances towards the edg…
Red Giant Branch Bump Brightness and Number Counts in 72 Galactic Globular Clusters Observed with the Hubble Space Telescope
David M. Nataf, Andrew P. Gould, Marc H. Pinsonneault +1
We present the broadest and most precise empirical investigation of red giant branch bump (RGBB) brightness and number counts ever conducted. We implement a new method and use data…
