Insight into the Formation of Pic b through the Composition of Its Parent Protoplanetary Disk as Revealed by the Pic Moving Group Member HD 181327

Henrique Reggiani, Jhon Yana Galarza, Kevin C. Schlaufman +5

It has been suggested that Pic b has a supersolar metallicity and subsolar C/O ratio. Assuming solar carbon and oxygen abundances for the star Pic and therefore the planet'…

An Optically-Discovered Outburst from XTE J1859+226

Eric C. Bellm, Yuankun Wang, Jan van Roestel +13

Using the Zwicky Transient Facility, in 2021 February we identified the first known outburst of the Black Hole X-ray Transient XTE J1859+226 since its discovery in 1999. The outbur…

Chemical Distribution of the Dynamical Ejecta in the Neutron Star Merger GW170817

Shreya Anand, Peter T. H. Pang, Mattia Bulla +11

GW170817 and its associated electromagnetic counterpart AT2017gfo continue to be a treasure trove as observations and modeling continue. Recent precision astrometry of AT2017gfo wi…

Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: The Period-Luminosity and Period-Wesenheit Relations for SX Phoenicis Variables in the gri-Band

Chow-Choong Ngeow, Anupam Bhardwaj, Matthew J. Graham +4

SX Phoenicis (SXP) variables are short period pulsating stars that exhibit a period-luminosity (PL) relation. We derived the gri-band PL and extinction-free period-Wesenheit (PW) r…

A Study of Stellar Spins in 15 Open Clusters

Brian F. Healy, P. R. McCullough, Kevin C. Schlaufman +1

We analyze spectroscopic and photometric data to determine the projected inclinations of stars in 11 open clusters, placing constraints on the spin-axis distributions of six cluste…

Evidence that the Hot Jupiter WASP-77 A b Formed Beyond Its Parent Protoplanetary Disk's H2O Ice Line

Henrique Reggiani, Kevin C. Schlaufman, Brian F. Healy +2

Idealized protoplanetary disk and giant planet formation models have been interpreted to suggest that a giant planet's atmospheric abundances can be used to infer its formation loc…

Stellar Spins in the Pleiades, Praesepe, and M35 Open Clusters

Brian F. Healy, P. R. McCullough, Kevin C. Schlaufman

We analyze spectroscopic and photometric data to determine the projected inclinations of stars in three open clusters: the Pleiades, Praesepe, and M35. We determine the va…

Stellar Spins in the Open Cluster NGC 2516

Brian F. Healy, P. R. McCullough

Measuring the distribution of stellar spin axis orientations in a coeval group of stars probes the physical processes underlying the stars' formation. In this paper, we use spectro…

PCA for Implied Volatility Surfaces

Marco Avellaneda, Brian Healy, Andrew Papanicolaou +1

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a useful tool when trying to construct factor models from historical asset returns. For the implied volatilities of U.S. equities there is a P…

XO-7 b: A transiting hot Jupiter with a massive companion on a wide orbit

Nicolas Crouzet, Brian F. Healy, Guillaume Hébrard +16

Transiting planets orbiting bright stars are the most favorable targets for follow-up and characterization. We report the discovery of the transiting hot Jupiter XO-7 b and of a se…

Magnetic Inflation and Stellar Mass III: Revised Parameters for the Component Stars of NSVS 07394765

Brian F. Healy, Eunkyu Han, Philip S. Muirhead +4

We perform a new analysis of the M dwarf-M dwarf eclipsing binary system NSVS 07394765 in order to investigate the reported hyper-inflated radius of one of the component stars. Our…
