A spectroscopic quadruple as a possible progenitor of sub-Chandrasekhar Type Ia supernovae
T. Merle, A. S. Hamers, S. Van Eck +13
Binaries have received much attention as possible progenitors of Type Ia supernova (SNIa) explosions, but long-term gravitational effects in tight triple or quadruple systems could…
An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing
Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90
We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
TESS Cycle 1 observations of roAp stars with 2-min cadence data
D. L. Holdsworth, M. S. Cunha, D. W. Kurtz +41
We present the results of a systematic search for new rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars using the 2-min cadence data collected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)…
A photospheric and chromospheric activity analysis of the quiescent retrograde-planet host Octantis A
David Ramm, Paul Robertson, Sabine Reffert +4
The single-lined spectroscopic binary Octantis provided evidence of the first conjectured circumstellar planet demanding an orbit retrograde to the stellar orbits. The planet-l…
HD 76920b pinned down: a detailed analysis of the most eccentric planetary system around an evolved star
C. Bergmann, M. I. Jones, J. Zhao +9
We present 63 new multi-site radial velocity measurements of the K1III giant HD 76920, which was recently reported to host the most eccentric planet known to orbit an evolved star.…
Direct evidence for shock-powered optical emission in a nova
Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Laura Chomiuk +39
Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions that occur on the surfaces of white dwarf stars in interacting binary systems (Bode & Evans 2008). It has long been thought that the lu…
