Brief Follow-up on Recent Studies of Theia's Accretion
Nathan A. Kaib, Nicolas B. Cowan
Kaib & Cowan (2015) recently used terrestrial planet formation simulations to conclude that the moon-forming impactor (Theia) had only a ~5% or less chance of having the same oxyge…
New Extinction and Mass Estimates of the Low-mass Companion 1RXS 1609 B with the Magellan AO System: Evidence of an Inclined Dust Disk
Ya-Lin Wu, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +9
We used the Magellan adaptive optics system to image the 11 Myr substellar companion 1RXS 1609 B at the bluest wavelengths to date (z' and Ys). Comparison with synthetic spectra yi…
Elastic anisotropy and Poisson's ratio of solid helium under pressure
A. Grechnev, S. M. Tretyak, Yu. A. Freiman +2
The elastic moduli, elastic anisotropy coefficients, sound velocities and Poisson's ratio of hcp solid helium have been calculated using density functional theory in generalized gr…
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…
Type IIb Supernova 2013df Entering Into An Interaction Phase: A Link between the Progenitor and the Mass Loss
K. Maeda, T. Hattori, D. Milisavljevic +23
We report the late-time evolution of Type IIb Supernova (SN IIb) 2013df. SN 2013df showed a dramatic change in its spectral features at ~1 year after the explosion. Early on it sho…
Strong Ultraviolet Pulse From a Newborn Type Ia Supernova
Yi Cao, S. R. Kulkarni, D. Andrew Howell +19
Type Ia supernovae are destructive explosions of carbon oxygen white dwarfs. Although they are used empirically to measure cosmological distances, the nature of their progenitors r…
