A homogeneous analysis of globular clusters from the APOGEE survey with the BACCHUS code. I. The Northern clusters

T. Masseron, D. A. García-Hernández, Sz. Mészáros +12

We analyze a large sample of 885 GCs giants from the APOGEE survey. We used the Cannon results to separate the red giant branch and the asymptotic giant branch stars, not only allo…

Detections and Constraints on White Dwarf Variability from Time-Series GALEX Observations

Dominick M. Rowan, Michael A. Tucker, Benjamin J. Shappee +1

We search for photometric variability in more than 23,000 known and candidate white dwarfs, the largest ultraviolet survey compiled for a single study of white dwarfs. We use gPhot…

SPHERE dynamical and spectroscopic characterization of HD142527B

R. Claudi, A. -L. Maire, D. Mesa +50

We detect the accreting low-mass companion HD142527B at a separation of 73 mas (11.4 au) from the star. No other companions with mass greater than 10 MJ are visible in the field of…

New Near-Infrared light-curve templates for RR Lyrae variables

V. F. Braga, P. B. Stetson, G. Bono +34

We provide homogeneous optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (JHK) time series photometry for 254 cluster (omega Cen, M4) and field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables. We ended up with more than…

A peculiar interacting Be star binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Ronald E. Mennickent, Thomas Rivinius, Lydia Cidale +2

We find that the emission line object OGLEJ005039.05-725751.4, a member of the cluster OGLE-CL SMC 64, exhibits a peculiar light curve pattern repeating with a recurrence time of 1…
