Discovery of a Rare Late-Type, Low-Mass Wolf-Rayet Star in the LMC
Bruce Margon, Catherine Manea, Robert Williams +4
We report the serendipitous discovery of an object, UVQS J060819.93-715737.4, with a spectrum dominated by extremely intense, narrow C II emission lines. The spectrum is similar to…
The January 2016 eruption of recurrent nova LMC 1968
N. P. M. Kuin, K. L. Page, P. Mróz +23
We present a comprehensive review of all observations of the eclipsing recurrent Nova LMC 1968 in the Large Magellanic Cloud which was previously observed in eruption in 1968, 1990…
The detection and characterisation of 54 massive companions with the SOPHIE spectrograph -- 7 new brown dwarfs and constraints on the BD desert
F. Kiefer, G. Hébrard, J. Sahlmann +35
Brown-dwarfs are substellar objects with masses intermediate between planets and stars within about 13-80Mjup. While isolated BDs are most likely produced by gravitational collapse…
IC 4665 DANCe I. Members, empirical isochrones, magnitude distributions, present-day system mass function, and spatial distribution
N. Miret-Roig, H. Bouy, J. Olivares +12
Context. The study of star formation is extremely challenging due to the lack of complete and clean samples of young, nearby clusters, and star forming regions. The recent Gaia DR2…
A luminous stellar outburst during a long-lasting eruptive phase first, and then SN IIn 2018cnf
A. Pastorello, A. Reguitti, A. Morales-Garoffolo +45
We present the results of the monitoring campaign of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2018cnf (aka ASASSN-18mr). It was discovered about 10 days before the maximum light (on MJD = 58293…
Luminous Red Novae: Stellar Mergers or Giant Eruptions?
A. Pastorello, E. Mason, S. Taubenberger +36
We present extensive datasets for a class of intermediate-luminosity optical transients known as "luminous red novae" (LRNe). They show double-peaked light curves, with an initial…
