Is the Young Star RZ Piscium Consuming Its Own (Planetary) Offspring?
K. M. Punzi, J. H. Kastner, C. Melis +4
The erratically variable star RZ Piscium (RZ Psc) displays extreme optical dropout events and strikingly large excess infrared emission. To ascertain the evolutionary status of thi…
Another look through Heisenberg's microscope
Stephen Boughn, Marcel Reginatto
Heisenberg introduced his famous uncertainty relations in a seminal 1927 paper entitled "The Physical Content of Quantum Kinematics and Mechanics". He motivated his arguments with…
Mapping the Tidal Disruption of the Hercules Dwarf: A Wide-Field DECam Imaging Search for RR Lyrae Stars
Christopher Garling, Beth Willman, David J. Sand +10
We investigate the hypothesized tidal disruption of the Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD). Previous tidal disruption studies of the Hercules UFD have been hindered by the hig…
Revealing the Ionization Properties of the Magellanic Stream using Optical Emission
K. A. Barger, G. J. Madsen, A. J. Fox +10
The Magellanic Stream, a gaseous tail that trails behind the Magellanic Clouds, could replenish the Milky Way with a tremendous amount of gas if it reaches the Galactic disk before…
The Effect of Atmospheric Cooling on the Vertical Velocity Dispersion and Density Distribution of Brown Dwarfs
Russell E. Ryan, Paul A. Thorman, Sarah J. Schmidt +7
We present a Monte Carlo simulation designed to predict the vertical velocity dispersion of brown dwarfs in the Milky Way. We show that since these stars are constantly cooling, th…
Gas dynamics of a luminous = 6.13 quasar ULAS J13190950 revealed by ALMA high resolution observations
Yali Shao, Ran Wang, Gareth C. Jones +12
We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the dust continuum and [C II] 158 m fine structure line emission towards a far-infrared-lumino…
