Probing the Non-thermal Emission Geometry of AR Sco via Optical Phase-Resolved Polarimetry

Louis du Plessis, Christo Venter, Zorawar Wadiasingh +4

AR Sco is a binary system that contains a white and red dwarf. The rotation rate of the white dwarf has been observed to slow down, analogous to rotation-powered radio pulsars; it…

A Third Epoch Proper Motion Study of The Forward Shock in Kepler's Supernova Remnant

Sadie C. Coffin, Brian J. Williams, Satoru Katsuda

We present measurements of the expansion of Kepler's Supernova Remnant (SNR) over three epochs of Chandra X-ray observations from 2000, 2006, and 2014. As the remnant of a historic…

Microlensing Events in the Galactic Plane Using the Zwicky Transient Facility

Antonio C. Rodriguez, Przemek Mróz, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni +9

Microlensing is a powerful technique to study the Galactic population of "dark" objects such as exoplanets both bound and unbound, brown dwarfs, low-luminosity stars, old white dwa…

A Detection of Red Noise in PSR J18242452A and Projections for PSR B1937+21 using NICER X-ray Timing Data

Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Jack Crump, Andrea N. Lommen +17

We have used X-ray data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) to search for long time-scale, correlated variations ("red noise") in the pulse times of arrival…

A Search for H-Dropout Lyman Break Galaxies at z~12-16

Yuichi Harikane, Akio K. Inoue, Ken Mawatari +11

We present two bright galaxy candidates at z~12-13 identified in our H-dropout Lyman break selection with 2.3 deg2 near-infrared deep imaging data. These galaxy candidates, selecte…

Semi-analytic forecasts for JWST -- V. AGN luminosity functions and helium reionization at z = 2-7

L. Y. Aaron Yung, Rachel S. Somerville, Steven L. Finkelstein +5

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) forming in the early universe are thought to be the primary source of hard ionizing photons contributing to the reionization of intergalactic helium. H…
