How to Constrain Your M dwarf II: the mass-luminosity-metallicity relation from 0.075 to 0.70
Andrew W. Mann, Trent Dupuy, Adam L. Kraus +11
The mass-luminosity relation for late-type stars has long been a critical tool for estimating stellar masses. However, there is growing need for both a higher-precision relation an…
The scatter of the M dwarf mass-radius relationship
S. G. Parsons, B. T. Gänsicke, T. R. Marsh +14
M dwarfs are prime targets in the hunt for habitable worlds around other stars. This is due to their abundance as well as their small radii and low masses and temperatures, which f…
Young and eccentric: the quadruple system HD 86588
Andrei Tokovinin, Hank Corbett, Octavi Fors +4

We present optical high-speed photometry of three millisecond pulsars with low-mass () white dwarf companions, bringing the total number of such systems with follo…
Signatures of an eruptive phase before the explosion of the peculiar core-collapse SN 2013gc
Andrea Reguitti, Andrea Pastorello, Giuliano Pignata +12
We present photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the peculiar core-collapse SN 2013gc, spanning seven years of observations. The light curve shows an early maximum followed by…
The McDonald Observatory search for pulsating sdA stars: asteroseismic support for multiple populations
Keaton J. Bell, Ingrid Pelisoli, S. O. Kepler +8
Context. The nature of the recently identified "sdA" spectroscopic class of star is not well understood. The thousands of known sdAs have H-dominated spectra, spectroscopic surface…
Searching for new white dwarf pulsators for TESS observations at Konkoly Observatory
