Multiwaveband photometry of the irradiated brown dwarf WD0137-349B
S. L. Casewell, K. A. Lawrie, P. F. L. Maxted +7
WD0137-349 is a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary system in a 116 minute orbit. We present radial velocity observations and multiwaveband photometry from V, R and I in the optical, to…
Time-Varying Potassium in High-Resolution Spectra of the Type Ia Supernova 2014J
M. L. Graham, S. Valenti, B. J. Fulton +9
We present a time series of the highest resolution spectra yet published for the nearby Type Ia supernova (SN) 2014J in M82. They were obtained at 11 epochs over 33 days around pea…

N. Nikolov, D. K. Sing, A. S. Burrows +14
We report Hubble Space Telescope (HST) optical to near-infrared transmission spectroscopy of the hot Jupiter WASP-6b, measured with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS)…
Near-infrared photometry of Y dwarfs: low ammonia abundance and the onset of water clouds
S. K. Leggett, Caroline V. Morley, M. S. Marley +1
We present new near-infrared photometry for seven late-type T dwarfs and nine Y-type dwarfs, and lower limit magnitudes for a tenth Y dwarf, obtained at Gemini Observatory. We also…
Cloud structure of the nearest brown dwarfs: Spectroscopic variability of Luhman 16AB from the Hubble Space Telescope
Esther Buenzli, Didier Saumon, Mark. S. Marley +5
The binary brown dwarf WISE J104915.57531906.1 (also Luhman 16AB), composed of a late L and early T dwarf, is a prototypical L/T transition flux reversal binary located at only…
Stellar Models of Multiple Populations in Globular Clusters. I. The Main Sequence of NGC 6752
Aaron Dotter, Jason Ferguson, Charlie Conroy +3
We present stellar atmosphere and evolution models of main sequence stars in two stellar populations of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6752. These populations represent the two…
The effect of external environment on the evolution of protostellar disks
Eduard I. Vorobyov, D. N. C. Lin, Manuel Guedel
Using numerical hydrodynamics simulations we studied the gravitational collapse of pre-stellar cores of sub-solar mass embedded into a low-density external environment. Four models…
The Luminosities of the Coldest Brown Dwarfs
C. G. Tinney, Jacqueline K. Faherty, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +3
In recent years brown dwarfs have been extended to a new Y-dwarf class with effective temperatures colder than 500K and masses in the range 5-30 Jupiter masses. They fill a crucial…
On the Accretion-Fed Growth of Neutron Stars During Common Envelope
Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
This paper models the orbital inspiral of a neutron star (NS) through the envelope of its giant-branch companion during a common envelope (CE) episode. These CE episodes are necess…
Asymmetric Accretion Flows within a Common Envelope
Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
This paper examines flows in the immediate vicinity of stars and compact objects dynamically inspiralling within a common envelope (CE). Flow in the vicinity of the embedded object…
Evolution of Exoplanets and their Parent Stars
Tristan Guillot, Douglas N. C. Lin, Pierre Morel +2
Studying exoplanets with their parent stars is crucial to understand their population, formation and history. We review some of the key questions regarding their evolution with par…
Discovery of a new Y dwarf: WISE J030449.03-270508.3
D. J. Pinfield, M. Gromadzki, S. K. Leggett +21
We present a new Y dwarf, WISE J030449.03-270508.3, confirmed from a candidate sample designed to pick out low temperature objects from the WISE database. The new object is typed Y…
Double-diffusive mixing in stellar interiors in the presence of horizontal gradients
Michael Medrano, Pascale Garaud, Stephan Stellmach
We have identified an important source of mixing in stellar radiation zones, that would arise whenever two conditions are satisfied: (1) the presence of an inverse vertical composi…
Fingering convection induced by atomic diffusion in stars: 3D numerical computations and applications to stellar models
Varvara Zemskova, Pascale Garaud, Morgan Deal +1
Iron-rich layers are known to form in the stellar subsurface through a combination of gravitational settling and radiative levitation. Their presence, nature and detailed structure…
The Deaths of Very Massive Stars
S. E. Woosley, Alexander Heger
The theory underlying the evolution and death of stars heavier than 10 Msun on the main sequence is reviewed with an emphasis upon stars much heavier than 30 Msun. These are stars…
Characterizing the Cool KOIs. VI. H- and K-band Spectra of Kepler M Dwarf Planet-Candidate Hosts
Philip S. Muirhead, Juliette Becker, Gregory A. Feiden +12
We present H- and K-band spectra for late-type Kepler Objects of Interest (the "Cool KOIs"): low-mass stars with transiting-planet candidates discovered by NASA's Kepler Mission th…
Evolution of Thermally Pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars IV. Constraining Mass-Loss & Lifetimes of Low Mass, Low Metallicity AGB Stars
Philip Rosenfield, Paola Marigo, Leo Girardi +7
The evolution and lifetimes of thermally pulsating asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars suffer from significant uncertainties. In this work, we analyze the numbers and luminosity…
Spectral Variability from the Patchy Atmospheres of T and Y Dwarfs
Caroline V. Morley, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney +1
