Age Dating Stellar Populations in the Near Infrared: An absolute age indicator from the presence/absence of red supergiants
J. Zachary Gazak, N. Bastian, R. P. Kudritzki +4
The determination of age is a critical component in the study of a population of stellar clusters. In this letter we present a new absolute age indicator for young massive star clu…
The host galaxy of the super-luminous SN 2010gx and limits on explosive nickel-56 production
Ting-Wan Chen, Stephen J. Smartt, Fabio Bresolin +6
Super-luminous supernovae have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. While these extremely luminous explosions have been…
An ultraviolet-optical flare from the tidal disruption of a helium-rich stellar core
S. Gezari, R. Chornock, A. Rest +31
The flare of radiation from the tidal disruption and accretion of a star can be used as a marker for supermassive black holes that otherwise lie dormant and undetected in the centr…
The araucaria project. An accurate distance to the late-type double-lined eclipsing binary ogle smc113.3 4007 in the small magellanic cloud
Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +13
We have analyzed the long period, double-lined eclipsing binary system OGLE SMC113.3 4007 (SC10 137844) in the SMC. The binary lies in the north-eastern part of the galaxy and cons…
