The spectacular evolution of Supernova 1996al over 15 years: a low energy explosion of a stripped massive star in a highly structured environment

Stefano Benetti, Nikolai N. Chugai, Victor P. Utrobin +9

Spectrophotometry of SN 1996al carried out throughout 15 years is presented. The early photometry suggests that SN 1996al is a Linear type-II supernova, with an absolute peak of Mv…

MagAO Imaging of Long-period Objects (MILO). I. A Benchmark M Dwarf Companion Exciting a Massive Planet around the Sun-like Star HD 7449

Timothy J. Rodigas, Pamela Arriagada, Jackie Faherty +17

We present high-contrast Magellan adaptive optics (MagAO) images of HD 7449, a Sun-like star with one planet and a long-term radial velocity (RV) trend. We unambiguously detect the…

The gas metallicity gradient and the star formation activity of disc galaxies

Patricia B. Tissera, Susana E. Pedrosa, Emanuel Sillero +1

We study oxygen abundance profiles of the gaseous disc components in simulated galaxies in a hierarchical universe. We analyse the disc metallicity gradients in relation to the ste…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Stellar radii in the young open clusters NGC 2264, NGC 2547 and NGC 2516

R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, S. Randich +10

Rapidly rotating, low-mass members of eclipsing binary systems have measured radii significantly larger than predicted by standard models. It has been proposed that magnetic activi…

A Hubble diagram from Type II Supernovae based solely on photometry: the Photometric-Colour Method

T. de Jaeger, S. González-Gaitán, J. P. Anderson +20

We present a Hubble diagram of type II supernovae using corrected magnitudes derived only from photometry, with no input of spectral information. We use a data set from the Carnegi…

Tracing differential reddening with Diffuse Interstellar Bands. The globular cluster M 4 as a testbed

A. Monreal-Ibero, R. Lallement, L. Puspitarini +2

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are weak absorption features of interstellar origin present in the optical and infrared spectra of stars. Their use as a tool to trace the structu…
