A study of accretion and disk diagnostics in the NGC 2264 cluster

Alana P. Sousa, Silvia H. P. Alencar, Luisa M. Rebull +3

Understanding disk dissipation is essential for studying how planets form. Disk gaps and holes, which almost correspond to dust-free regions, are inferred from infrared observation…

A White Dwarf with Transiting Circumstellar Material Far Outside the Roche Limit

Z. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes, E. Dennihy +9

We report the discovery of a white dwarf exhibiting deep, irregularly shaped transits, indicative of circumstellar planetary debris. Using Zwicky Transient Facility DR2 photometry…

Probing CO and N Snow Surfaces in Protoplanetary Disks with NH Emission

Chunhua Qi, Karin I. Öberg, Catherine C. Espaillat +6

Snowlines of major volatiles regulate the gas and solid C/N/O ratios in the planet-forming midplanes of protoplanetary disks. Snow surfaces are the 2D extensions of snowlines in th…

Corrugated Features in Coronal-mass-ejections-driven Shocks: A Discussion on the Predisposition to Particle Acceleration

A. Páez, V. Jatenco-Pereira, D. Falceta-Gonçalves +1

The study of the acceleration of particles is an essential element of research in the heliospheric science. Here, we discuss the predisposition to the particle acceleration around…

Characterization of Ring Substructures in the Protoplanetary Disk of HD 169142 from Multi-Wavelength ALMA Observations

Enrique Macias, Catherine Espaillat, Mayra Osorio +10

We present a detailed multi-wavelength characterization of the multi-ring disk of HD 169142. We report new ALMA observations at 3 mm and analyze them together with archival 0.89 an…

Magnetic Inflation and Stellar Mass IV. Four Low-mass Kepler Eclipsing Binaries Consistent with Non-magnetic Stellar Evolutionary Models

Eunkyu Han, Philip S. Muirhead, Jonathan J. Swift

Low-mass eclipsing binaries show systematically larger radii than model predictions for their mass, metallicity and age. Prominent explanations for the inflation involve enhanced m…

Magnetic Inflation and Stellar Mass III: Revised Parameters for the Component Stars of NSVS 07394765

Brian F. Healy, Eunkyu Han, Philip S. Muirhead +4

We perform a new analysis of the M dwarf-M dwarf eclipsing binary system NSVS 07394765 in order to investigate the reported hyper-inflated radius of one of the component stars. Our…

A Volume Limited Sample of Cataclysmic Variables from DR2: Space Density and Population Properties

A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, E. Breedt +15

We present the first volume-limited sample of cataclysmic variables (CVs), selected using the accurate parallaxes provided by the second data release (DR2) of the ESA $\mathit{Gaia…

A Chandra Study: Are Dwarf Carbon Stars Spun Up and Rejuvenated by Mass Transfer?

Paul J. Green, Rodolfo Montez, Fernando Mazzoni +9

Carbon stars (with C/O> 1) were long assumed to all be giants, because only AGB stars dredge up significant carbon into their atmospheres. The case is nearly iron-clad now that the…

Revealing the Star-Disk-Jet Connection in GM Aur using Multiwavelength Variability

C. C. Espaillat, E. Macias, J. Hernandez +1

Here we analyze the first simultaneous X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and centimeter observations of a T Tauri star (TTS). We present three epochs of simultaneous Spitzer a…
