Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VII. The Catalog of Eclipsing Binaries Found in the Entire Kepler Data-Set

Brian Kirk, Kyle Conroy, Andrej Prša +47

The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of ~200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of eclipsing binary syst…

Exploring the spectroscopic diversity of type Ia supernovae with DRACULA: a machine learning approach

Michele Sasdelli, E. E. O. Ishida, R. Vilalta +8

The existence of multiple subclasses of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) has been the subject of great debate in the last decade. One major challenge inevitably met when trying to infer…

Red giant masses and ages derived from carbon and nitrogen abundances

Marie Martig, Morgan Fouesneau, Hans-Walter Rix +7

We show that the masses of red giant stars can be well predicted from their photospheric carbon and nitrogen abundances, in conjunction with their spectroscopic stellar labels log…

Clear evidence for the presence of second-generation asymptotic giant branch stars in metal-poor Galactic globular clusters

D. A. Garcia-Hernandez, Sz. Meszaros, M. Monelli +5

Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are known to host multiple stellar populations: a first generation with a chemical pattern typical of halo field stars and a second generation (SG)…

A Comprehensive Study of the Kepler Triples via Eclipse Timing

T. Borkovits, T. Hajdu, J. Sztakovics +4

We produce and analyze eclipse time variation (ETV) curves for some 2600 Kepler binaries. We find good to excellent evidence for a third body in 222 systems via either the light-tr…

ASPCAP: The Apogee Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline

Ana E. García Pérez, Carlos Allende Prieto, Jon A. Holtzman +27

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has built the largest moderately high-resolution (R=22, 500) spectroscopic map of the stars across the Milky Way…

Planet Hunters X. KIC 8462852 - Where's the Flux?

T. S. Boyajian, D. M. LaCourse, S. A. Rappaport +46

Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC8462852 was observed to undergo irregularly shaped, aperiodic dips in flux of up to \%. The dipping activity can last for betwe…

Pushing the limits, episode 2: K2 observations of extragalactic RR Lyrae stars in the dwarf galaxy Leo IV

L. Molnár, A. Pál, E. Plachy +4

We present the first observations of extragalactic pulsating stars in the K2 ecliptic survey of the Kepler space telescope. Variability of all three RR Lyrae stars in the dwarf sph…

A new sdO+dM binary with extreme eclipses and reflection effect

A. Derekas, P. Nemeth, J. Southworth +10

We report the discovery of a new totally-eclipsing binary (RA=06:40:29.11; Dec=+38:56:52.2; J=2000.0; Rmax=17.2 mag) with an sdO primary and a strongly irradiated red dwarf compani…

Rapid Rotation of Low-Mass Red Giants Using APOKASC: A Measure of Interaction Rates on the Post-main-sequence

Jamie Tayar, Tugdual Ceillier, D. A. García-Hernández +16

We investigate the occurrence rate of rapidly rotating (10 km s), low-mass giant stars in the APOGEE-Kepler (APOKASC) fields with asteroseismic mass and surface…

A Babcock-Leighton solar dynamo model with multi-cellular meridional circulation in advection- and diffusion-dominated regimes

Bernadett Belucz, Mausumi Dikpati, Emese Forgacs-Dajka

Babcock-Leighton type solar dynamo models with single-celled meridional circulation are successful in reproducing many solar cycle features. Recent observations and theoretical mod…

Young [/Fe]-enhanced stars discovered by CoRoT and APOGEE: What is their origin?

C. Chiappini, F. Anders, T. S. Rodrigues +34

We report the discovery of a group of apparently young CoRoT red-giant stars exhibiting enhanced [alpha/Fe] abundance ratios (as determined from APOGEE spectra) with respect to Sol…

New H-band Stellar Spectral Libraries for the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey

O. Zamora, D. A. Garcia-Hernandez, C. Allende Prieto +18

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey--III (SDSS--III) Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has obtained high resolution (R 22,500), high signal-to-noise r…

The Puzzling Li-rich Red Giant Associated with NGC 6819

Joleen K. Carlberg, Verne V. Smith, Katia Cunha +13

A Li-rich red giant star (2M19411367+4003382) recently discovered in the direction of NGC 6819 belongs to the rare subset of Li-rich stars that have not yet evolved to the luminosi…

Exploring Anticorrelations and Light Element Variations in Northern Globular Clusters Observed by the APOGEE Survey

Szabolcs Meszaros, Sarah L. Martell, Matthew Shetrone +20

We investigate the light-element behavior of red giant stars in Northern globular clusters (GCs) observed by the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (AP…
