Carbon in J0815+4729: Casting a shadow of doubt on the interpretation of CH absorption in the most primitive stars

Junbo Zhang, Carlos Allende Prieto, Yeisson Osorio +7

Aims. We revisit the carbon abundance in the primitive iron-poor star J0815+4729 ([Fe/H] = -5.49). J0815+4729 is so carbon-enhanced and oxygen-rich that, in addition to CH and C2 m…

A Systematic NLTE Study of Very Metal-Poor Stars with Metallicity Down to dex. II. Lithium Abundance and New Insight to the Lithium Plateau

Hong-Liang Yan, Jinxiao Qin, Shuai Liu +12

Metal-poor stars are crucially important for understanding the early Galaxy, first stars, and the Universe. In this series of papers, we present a homogeneous non-local thermodynam…

A potential mass-gap black hole in a wide binary with a circular orbit

Wang Song, Zhao Xinlin, Feng Fabo +28

Mass distribution of black holes identified through X-ray emission suggests a paucity of black holes in the mass range of 3 to 5 solar masses. Modified theories have been devised t…

KIC 12268220: A Scuti Pulsating Star and an Active Protohelium White Dwarf in an Eclipsing Binary System

Kaiming Cui, Zhao Guo, Qing Gao +4

We present a photometric, spectroscopic, asteroseismic, and evolutionary analysis of the Algol-type eclipsing binary KIC 12268220. We find the O'Connell effect and anticorrelated e…

A wide star-black-hole binary system from radial-velocity measurements

Jifeng Liu, Haotong Zhang, Andrew W. Howard +52

All stellar mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted by gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems are all binaries with…

An optical and X-ray study of the contact binary, BH Cassiopeiae

Junhui Liu, Ali Esamdin, Yu Zhang +10

We present the revised and high quality CCD time series observations in 2017 and 2018 of the W UMa-type contact binary BH~Cas. The combination of our new determinations of minimum…
