We investigate the observed correlation between the 2--10 keV X-ray luminosity (in unit of the Eddington luminosity; ) and the photon index () of the X-r…
Exo-zodi modelling for the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
Grant M. Kennedy, Mark C. Wyatt, Vanessa Bailey +18
Habitable zone dust levels are a key unknown that must be understood to ensure the success of future space missions to image Earth analogues around nearby stars. Current detection…
A real-time fast radio burst: polarization detection and multiwavelength follow-up
E. Petroff, M. Bailes, E. D. Barr +32
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most tantalizing mysteries of the radio sky; their progenitors and origins remain unknown and until now no rapid multiwavelength follow-up o…
Photometric brown-dwarf classification. I. A method to identify and accurately classify large samples of brown dwarfs without spectroscopy
Nathalie Skrzypek, Stephen J. Warren, Jacqueline K. Faherty +3
Aims. We present a method, named photo-type, to identify and accurately classify L and T dwarfs onto the standard spectral classification system using photometry alone. This enable…
The Detailed Chemical Properties of M31 Star Clusters I. Fe, Alpha and Light Elements
J. E. Colucci, R. A. Bernstein, J. Cohen
We present ages, [Fe/H] and abundances of the alpha elements Ca I, Si I, Ti I, Ti II, and light elements Mg I, Na I, and Al I for 31 globular clusters in M31, which were obtained f…
Constraints on the origin of the first light from SN2014J
A. Goobar, M. Kromer, R. Siverd +6
We study the very early lightcurve of supernova 2014J (SN 2014J) using the high-cadence broad-band imaging data obtained by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT), which…
Superconductivity in Strong Spin Orbital Coupling Compound Sb2Se3
P. P. Kong, F. Sun, L. Y. Xing +15
Recently, A2B3 type strong spin orbital coupling compounds such as Bi2Te3, Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te3 were theoretically predicated to be topological insulators and demonstrated through exp…
Matching the Evolution of the Stellar Mass Function Using Log-normal Star Formation Histories
Louis E. Abramson, Michael D. Gladders, Alan Dressler +3
We show that a model consisting of individual, log-normal star formation histories for a volume-limited sample of galaxies reproduces the evolution of the total and qui…
Rotation, spectral variability, magnetic geometry and magnetosphere of the Of?p star CPD -28 2561
G. A. Wade, R. H. Barbá, J. Grunhut +14
We report magnetic and spectroscopic observations and modeling of the Of?p star CPD -28 2561. Using more than 75 new spectra, we have measured the equivalent width variations and e…
IZI: Inferring the Gas Phase Metallicity (Z) and Ionization Parameter (q) of Ionized Nebulae using Bayesian Statistics
Guillermo A. Blanc, Lisa Kewley, Frédéric P. A. Vogt +1
We present a new method for inferring the metallicity (Z) and ionization parameter (q) of HII regions and star-forming galaxies using strong nebular emission lines (SEL). We use Ba…
Scaling Laws for Convection with Temperature-dependent Viscosity and Grain-damage
Bradford J. Foley, David Bercovici
Numerical experiments of convection with grain-damage are used to develop scaling laws for convective heat flow, mantle velocity, and plate velocity across the stagnant lid and pla…
