Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VII. The Catalog of Eclipsing Binaries Found in the Entire Kepler Data-Set

Brian Kirk, Kyle Conroy, Andrej Prša +47

The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of ~200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of eclipsing binary syst…

Origin of the Metallicity Distribution in the Thick Disc

Maider S. Miranda, Kate Pilkington, Brad K. Gibson +9

Aims. Using a suite of cosmological chemodynamical disc galaxy simulations, we assess how (a) radial metallicity gradients evolve with scaleheight; (b) the vertical metallicity gra…

A unified framework for the orbital structure of bars and triaxial ellipsoids

Monica Valluri, Juntai Shen, Caleb G. Abbott +1

We examine a large random sample of orbits in self-consistent simulations of N-body bars. Orbits in the bars are classified both visually and with a new automated orbit classificat…

Nova light curves from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) - II. The extended catalog

R. Hounsell, M. J. Darnley, M. F. Bode +10

We present the results from observing nine Galactic novae in eruption with the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) between 2004 and 2009. While many of these novae reached peak magni…

CK Vul: a smorgasbord of hydrocarbons rules out a 1670 nova (and much else besides)

A. Evans, R. D. Gehrz, C. E. Woodward +5

We present observations of CK Vul obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared spectrum reveals a warm dust continuum with nebular, molecular hydrogen and HCN lines supe…

The AIMSS Project III: The Stellar Populations of Compact Stellar Systems

Joachim Janz, Mark A. Norris, Duncan A. Forbes +11

In recent years, a growing zoo of compact stellar systems (CSSs) have been found whose physical properties (mass, size, velocity dispersion) place them between classical globular c…
