A systematic survey for hypervelocity runaways from thermonuclear supernovae
Kareem El-Badry, Klaus Werner, Ken J. Shen +16
The explosion of a white dwarf (WD) in a close binary can launch a surviving runaway star at velocities of . Such runaways provide a direct probe of…

Deriving Stellar Properties, Distances, and Reddenings using Photometry and Astrometry with BRUTUS
Joshua S. Speagle, Catherine Zucker, Angus Beane +18
We present brutus, an open source Python package for quickly deriving stellar properties, distances, and reddenings to stars based on grids of stellar models constrained by photome…

The fastest stars in the Galaxy
Kareem El-Badry, Ken J. Shen, Vedant Chandra +18
We report a spectroscopic search for hypervelocity white dwarfs (WDs) that are runaways from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and related thermonuclear explosions. Candidates are select…
