Improved Neutron-Capture Element Abundances in Planetary Nebulae
N. C. Sterling, H. L. Dinerstein, S. Hwang +11
Spectroscopy of planetary nebulae (PNe) provides the means to investigate s-process enrichments of neutron(n)-capture elements that cannot be detected in asymptotic giant branch (A…
PIC simulation of a strong double layer in a nonrelativistic plasma flow: Electron acceleration to ultrarelativistic speeds
M E Dieckmann, A Bret
Two charge- and current neutral plasma beams are modelled with a one-dimensional PIC simulation. The beams are uniform and unbounded. The relative speed between both beams is 0.4c.…
Effects of accretion flow on the chemical structure in the inner regions of protoplanetary disks
H. Nomura, Y. Aikawa, Y. Nakagawa +1
We have studied the dependence of the profiles of molecular abundances and line emission on the accretion flow in the hot ($\ga 100$K) inner region of protoplanetary disks. The gas…

SN 2006gy: was it really extra-ordinary?
I. Agnoletto, S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro +12
We present an optical photometric and spectroscopic study of the very luminous type IIn SN 2006gy for a time period spanning more than one year. In photometry, a broad, bright (M_R…
The sub-Jupiter mass transiting exoplanet WASP-11b
R. G. West, A. Collier Cameron, L. Hebb +25
We report the discovery of a sub-Jupiter mass exoplanet transiting a magnitude V=11.7 host star 1SWASP J030928.54+304024.7. A simultaneous fit to the transit photometry and radial-…
RISE: a fast-readout imager for exoplanet transit timing
I. A. Steele, S. D. Bates, N. Gibson +5
By the precise timing of the low amplitude (0.005 - 0.02 magnitude) transits of exoplanets around their parent star it should be possible to infer the presence of other planetary b…
The death of massive stars - I. Observational constraints on the progenitors of type II-P supernovae
S. J. Smartt, J. J. Eldridge, R. M. Crockett +1
We present the results of a 10.5 yr, volume limited (28 Mpc) search for supernova (SN) progenitor stars. We compile all SNe discovered within this volume (132, of which 27% are typ…
6^Li in the atmosphere of GJ 117 Revisited
D. J. Christian, M. Mathioudakis, D. Jevremovic
Detection of 6^Li has been shown for energetic solar events, one chromospherically active binary, and several dwarf halo stars. We had previously found a 6^Li/7^Li = 0.03+/-0.01 fo…
Core-collapse supernovae in low-metallicity environments and future all-sky transient surveys
D. R. Young, S. J. Smartt, S. Mattila +5
Aims: Massive stars in low-metallicity environments may produce exotic explosions such as long-duration gamma-ray bursts and pair-instability supernovae when they die as core-colla…
The metamorphosis of Supernova SN2008D/XRF080109: a link between Supernovae and GRBs/Hypernovae
Paolo A. Mazzali, Stefano Valenti, Massimo Della Valle +38
The only supernovae (SNe) to have shown early gamma-ray or X-ray emission thus far are overenergetic, broad-lined Type Ic SNe (Hypernovae - HNe). Recently, SN 2008D shows several n…
Searching for transit timing variations in transiting exoplanet systems
Marie Hrudková, Ian Skillen, Chris Benn +5
Searching for transit timing variations in the known transiting exoplanet systems can reveal the presence of other bodies in the system. Here we report such searches for two transi…
