Expanding the SPISEA Stellar Population Synthesis Software to the Substellar Regime
Caitlin Begbie, Rachel Street, Katarzyna Kruszynska +4
The paper extends the SPISEA stellar population synthesis software to include brown dwarfs, providing updated substellar initial mass functions, atmospheric models, and evolutionar…
An HST Wide Field Survey of the Galactic Bulge: Overview, Strategy, and First Results
Sean K. Terry, Jay Anderson, Charles A. Beichman +13
We present an HST imaging survey of a 1.1 sq. degree sky area toward the Milky Way Galactic Bulge. This field significantly overlaps with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Bu…
First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST
J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11
CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…
The 3D Kinematics of the Orion Nebula Cluster II: Mass-dependent Kinematics of the Inner Cluster
Lingfeng Wei, Christopher A. Theissen, Quinn M. Konopacky +3
We present the kinematic analysis of stars within $4\mbox{$^\prime$}$ from the center of Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), the closest massive star cluster with active star formati…
Hints of an Anomalous Lens Population towards the Galactic Bulge
Scott E. Perkins, Peter McGill, William A. Dawson +4
The dark and dynamic parts of the Galaxy, including the bulk shape and movement of the Galactic Bulge and characteristics of dark compact object populations, such as a hypothetical…
Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Fifteen Galactic Red Giants in Detached Eclipsing Binaries
D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +9
Precise and accurate mass and radius measurements of evolved stars are crucial to calibrating stellar models. Stars in detached eclipsing binaries (EBs) are excellent potential cal…
