On the relationship between Type Ia supernova luminosity and host-galaxy properties
Yukei S. Murakami, Benjamin E. Stahl, Keto D. Zhang +4
A string of recent studies has debated the exact form and physical origin of an evolutionary trend between the peak luminosity of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and the properties of…
Brightest Cluster Galaxies: the centre can(not?) hold
Roberto De Propris, Michael J. West, Felipe Andrade-Santos +9
We explore the persistence of the alignment of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with their local environment. We find that a significant fraction of BCGs do not coincide with the…
The continuing search for evidence of tidal orbital decay of hot Jupiters
Kishore C. Patra, Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman +15
Many of the known hot Jupiters are formally unstable to tidal orbital decay. The only hot Jupiter for which orbital decay has been directly detected is WASP-12, for which transit t…
The Orbit of WASP-12b is Decaying
Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Heather A. Knutson +6
WASP-12b is a transiting hot Jupiter on a 1.09-day orbit around a late-F star. Since the planet's discovery in 2008, the time interval between transits has been decreasing by $29\p…
